6 days ago
We are seeking a Specialist Practitioner to support pioneering Sex Worker Outreach within our dynamic and forward-thinking organisation.
This role offers a profound opportunity to make a significant impact, supporting within a dedicated team focused on supporting individuals engaged in or at risk of engaging in sex work.
The essence of this role is to reach, support, engage, and provide choices to individuals, employing a comprehensive and empathetic approach to address both immediate needs and the underlying challenges faced by this community.
As a new role we are looking for someone who can make it their own, working flexibly and creatively to support vulnerable adults. Evening work will be a part of the role, on a rotad basis, to allow for everyone who needs the service to be reached.
Key Responsibilities:- Strategic Outreach: Lead the team in implementing proactive, outreach-based strategies to engage with individuals involved in sex work. Emphasize the importance of reaching out to those who may not traditionally seek help, breaking down barriers to engagement through a non-judgmental and persistent approach.

Encourage a service ethos that seeks to understand and address the multifaceted nature of individuals experiences.
- Partnership Collaboration: Foster strategic alliances with a broad spectrum of city-wide services, including sex worker charities, domestic abuse agencies, homelessness prevention initiatives, and substance misuse specialists. Collaborate to enhance safety, reduce risks associated with sex work and substance use, and improve overall health and social outcomes.
- Person-Centred Care: Ensure the delivery of tailored, person-centred, and wraparound support by working closely with key agencies. Lead the team in offering comprehensive care plans that align with the specific needs and aspirations of each individual.
- Access to Recovery Services: Facilitate access to inpatient detoxification and residential rehabilitation services for those wishing to pursue recovery. Guide the team in supporting individuals through their recovery journey, ensuring a seamless transition between services.
Whether you come from a strong background in the substance misuse sector, have experience in mental health support, experience working with Sex Workers or in domestic violence, we welcome you to join our diverse team.
We believe that various experiences contribute to our mission of providing comprehensive support and care.
Requirements:- Substance misuse background
- Mental health background
- Experience working with Sex Workers
