Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom Catch22 Full time
Job Description

As a Beacon Support Worker in this role, you will be the named and allocated worker providing support to children and young victims and witnesses of Domestic Abuse. You will build and sustain high-quality relationships with young victims through an offer of support that wins confidence and trust. You will work collaboratively with a wide range of agencies to ensure that there is a robust referral pathway in place.

This role sits within the Beacon Family Hub which works primarily with Child on Parent violence, so you may also support a small caseload of children and parents affected by this. The role will primarily relate to this focus by working with children and young people who have witnessed/been a victim of domestic abuse, where there is a risk that these children begin exhibiting the abusive behaviours that they have witnessed in their experiences.  

You will be a passionate and experienced caseworker who shows an understanding and commitment to the needs of victims and witnesses and how the Victim Service can effectively address the needs.
