Job description

**Local Caseworker (North West) - National Road Victim Service**

**Hours**: Part-time 21.75 hours per week worked over 3 days, between the hours of 8am-6pm

**Contract length**: 24 months

**Salary**:£14,400

**Location**:North West England (covers Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside)

**Working Pattern**: Work from home with some travel required. You will be expected to deliver a face-to-face service to clients in their own home or safe meeting place

**Reporting to**: Regional Case Manager (North)

The National Road Victim Service is looking for dedicated caseworkers who can genuinely make a positive contribution to the lives of those traumatically bereaved or seriously injured as a result of road traffic collisions.

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

Do you want to make a genuine difference to people’s lives and be part of an enthusiastic, energised, and dynamic team delivering world class support services to people at a time when they are most vulnerable? Can you help us reach greater numbers of people in need and build upon an established foundation to create an enduring legacy?

Are you capable of working in emotionally challenging scenarios, delivering support to people suffering the horrendous consequences of road death and serious injury, whilst providing high quality care?

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.

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.

**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.

**What we offer**
- 33 days holiday (including bank holidays, pro-rata for part time working patterns)
- Employee Assistance Program
- Flexible working
- Ongoing support including regular independent clinical supervision sessions
- Be an essential part of a skilled, dedicated and friendly team, with a visionary, dynamic and expert chief executive committed to growing the charity’s impact, and 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 emotional support and 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.
- a full UK driving licence, with access to your own transport and are willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses).

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.**

**About the team and how we work**
- We are open to secondments
