**Who we are**

We are Brake, the national, acclaimed road safety charity which provides the National Road Victim Service (NRVS). We have been supporting victims of the carnage on our roads since 1995. We also campaign for positive change to prevent future collisions and save lives.

**A rare and exciting opportunity to help us to help others**

Did you know that every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads? The impact of that on individuals and their wider families is profound and far reaching and it can happen to any of us, at any time.

The National Road Victim Service is growing, allowing us to reach greater numbers of people in need and building upon our well-established foundation to create an enduring legacy. To support this growth we’re looking for a dedicated caseworker to become part of our enthusiastic, energised and dynamic team, delivering world-class support services to people at a time when they are most vulnerable.

This is definitely not the average 9 to 5 job, and it is not every day that opportunities like this come along. You could be playing a significant part in our commitment to roll out our clinically developed, trauma informed support services across the country, making a positive contribution to the lives of those traumatically bereaved or seriously injured as a result of road traffic collisions.

**What we offer**
- 33 days holiday (including bank holidays and a 3-day shutdown period between Christmas and New Year) pro-rata for part-time roles
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Flexible working
- Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave
- Ongoing training and development opportunities
- Pension
- Wellbeing support including regular independent clinical supervision sessions
- Be an essential part of a skilled, dedicated and friendly team with a knowledgeable and engaged Board of Trustees.

**Who you are**

We need energised self-starters who are passionate about helping others, to join our fantastic team. We are looking for people who have a background in providing high-quality emotional support, practical research and advocacy for vulnerable people after a serious psychological trauma such as the death of a loved one in violent circumstances.
- Experience of frontline care for people in crisis with acute vulnerabilities and risks (desirable but not essential)
- Comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system (desirable but not essential)
- Research and advocacy skills - you get crucial things done through liaison with external agencies
- Significant resilience and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised
- Competent IT skills to make phone calls via software provided, or using other remote meeting platforms such as Microsoft Teams
- A full UK driving licence, with access to your own transport to use for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses).

Experience gained from roles as family liaison officers and counsellors, or in the police force, criminal justice system, or other health and social care positions will transfer well to this role at Brake.

The greatest reward comes from knowing you have made a real positive difference to someone’s recovery from psychological trauma, and the emotional or practical challenges presented by their sudden bereavement or serious injury.

If you are seeking out a new challenge and think you have the skills, passion, and commitment that we are looking for, we would be interested in hearing from you.
