About the Project Worker Complex Needs role:
In this role, you will be part of a specialist team working with women who have complex needs, including mental health challenges, substance misuse, offending behaviour, and physical health issues. You’ll use a gender-informed approach, ensuring that women feel safe, supported, and empowered. This role will give you the opportunity to provide personalised support, helping clients develop independent living skills, build social networks, and access external services.
Your day-to-day work will involve conducting needs and risk assessments, creating support plans, and facilitating group work and structured interventions as part of our in-house recovery programme. You’ll work closely with external agencies to ensure that clients receive the holistic support they need, with a focus on both harm minimisation and recovery.
About you:
A solid understanding of person-centred approaches, harm minimisation, and trauma-informed care.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships with clients, empowering them to engage with community resources and take positive steps forward.
Flexibility, creativity, and resilience in working with a sometimes challenging and hard-to-engage client group.
Proven experience and skills in delivering highly personalised assessment and casework, support planning, goal setting, advocacy, and the ability to apply this in a caseload of clients who find it difficult to engage in formal keywork and where there are barriers to accessing statutory support.
Our attractive benefits package includes:
A salary increase after successfully completing six month's probationary period
A 37.5 hour working week including flexible working hours (core hours are 10am – 4pm) in non-accommodation services
25 days annual leave, increasing annually to the maximum 30 days (plus paid Bank Holidays),
