This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference to the lives of women who may experience multiple disadvantage, trauma, stigma and barriers to accessing mainstream services.
About the role
As a Drop-in and Outreach Worker, you will build trusting relationships with people accessing services and provide practical, emotional and trauma-informed support.
You will work across both drop-in and community settings, helping people to stay safe, access appropriate services, reduce harm and improve their wellbeing.
Your responsibilities will include:
*Delivering safe, welcoming and inclusive drop-in services, including practical and one-to-one support.
*Providing information, advocacy, signposting and referrals to appropriate services.
*Delivering on-street and off-street outreach, including evening outreach, to engage people who may not otherwise access support.
*Providing harm minimisation, sexual health and wellbeing resources and practical support.
*Supporting specialist clinics, empowerment activities, wellbeing sessions and workshops.
*Working with people experiencing multiple disadvantage and responding appropriately to immediate needs.
*Identifying safeguarding concerns and undertaking dynamic risk assessments in line with organisational procedures.
*Developing positive relationships with statutory, voluntary and community organisations.
*Maintaining accurate case records, monitoring information and service user data.
*Working flexibly to reach marginalised and hard-to-reach communities.

*Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
*Competence using Microsoft Office and electronic case management or client database systems.
Experience of working within the *** work sector, facilitating group or wellbeing activities, supporting volunteers, or working with statutory and voluntary organisations would be desirable, but is not essential.
