Care Not Custody Caseworker

3 weeks ago


Brighton, United Kingdom Brighton Women's Centre Full time

**Care Not Custody **is a pilot intervention service in partnership with Sussex Police, to divert women away from the criminal justice system, by offering an Out Of Course disposal (OOCD)*. This project sits within **BWC’s Inspire Service, **which delivers support for women who are involved in the Criminal Justice System and is the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Commissioned Rehabilitative Services (CRS) provider for women in Sussex. In line with BWC values, Inspire adopts a relational, trauma-informed, strengths-based approach. Inspire supports women with a range of underlying needs, with the overarching aim of supporting women to move away from the Criminal Justice System and improve their access to a range of services.

*Care Not Custody encourages frontline police officers to consider an OOCD in cases where they would normally have charged a woman. Currently, women who receive a caution or community resolution do not have access to a women specific service in Sussex. Women who agree to the condition will be referred to BWC via the Adult OOCD team, for up to 16 weeks of casework support, diverting them out of the formal criminal justice system into a holistic support package.

The **Care Not Custody Caseworker **will provide holistic, integrated casework support for women in West Sussex. She will support women to navigate and access the services they require to address a range of practical and emotional needs, including helping with signposting, advocacy, and referrals. She will be informed by BWC’s values, policies and procedures and will understand the importance of building trust and self-esteem with service users, to enhance recovery and engagement with BWC and other services. She will complete all reporting requirements on the BWC database.

BWC offers staff members a generous package of benefits including a wellbeing allowance and a well-being hour during the working week; clinical supervision; reflective group practice; access to therapeutic debrief as required; a comprehensive training package; opportunities for continuing professional development; staff social events; flexible working opportunities and a caring, understanding work environment that appreciates the complexities of women’s working and home lives.
