3 days ago

Devon, United Kingdom Bournemouth Churches Housing Association Full time

BCHA are a diverse and growing specialist housing, learning and support provider. We are currently recruiting for **Specialist Support Workers** to join our team **on the Liberty project**.

BCHA work closely with the Salvation Army to provide support to survivors of ‘modern slavery and trafficking’. We provide a ‘**responsive service’** to support individuals who require sustained care to enable long term healing, to reintegrate into society and rebuild their lives.

**Position**:
We need to recruit several new people to work with us as **Specialist Support Workers** to build extra capacity within the ‘Liberty team’. We currently support ‘survivors’ primarily in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Southampton, Portsmouth and Swindon areas and we may be expanding those services to Devon and Cornwall.

Our **Specialist Support Workers** offer support that is integrated, holistic and trauma informed and geared towards meeting the individual needs of each ‘survivor’. We adopt a multi-agency approach and work in partnership with other agencies to ensure ‘survivors’ access their entitlements while we support them to gain confidence and the skills they need to recover and help them move forward.

We offer ‘survivors’ a time-frame of (12 weeks) in which to ‘rest and recuperate’. We offer support to assess their needs and identify individual goals and aspirations before they exit the service. **Our key aim is to empower individuals and promote independence**.

**We can offer you the opportunity to**:

- join a professional and friendly team who have backgrounds in either social work, substance abuse, housing, trauma care, child and youth services;
- work in a Psychologically Informed Environment (PIE);
- use a holistic, non-biased trauma informed approach;
- use your transferrable skills and experience to achieve best outcomes for ‘survivors’;
- receive full training, support and supervision to support ‘survivors’ effectively;

**Requirements**:

- provide weekly 1- 1 sessions with individual ‘survivors’ that are outcome focussed;
- work within ‘professional boundaries’ and use trauma focused strategies;
- listen to and build trust with ‘survivors’
- work with complex needs, challenging behaviours and manage presenting risks;
- be an advocate on behalf of ‘survivors’;
- build good working relationships with agencies and liaise effectively;
- empower ‘survivors’ to find their own way and promote independence;
- be self-motivated, proactive, resilient, empathic and non-judgemental;
