Working location: mostly remote work with some travel required across the region. Based in the North or East of Scotland, you will deliver a face-to-face service to clients in their own home or safe meeting place, as well as providing support by Teams, phone, email or other means to suit the service user. We take a person-centred approach so the amount of travel will vary depending on your caseload at the time. You’re in control of your own diary.
The role: This is a rewarding role where every day brings the opportunity to make a positive difference to people's lives. We regularly receive testimonials from service users describing the life-changing impact of receiving support from our caseworkers in the National Road Victim Service.
Who We Are: Brake has been supporting victims of road carnage since 1995, and we're on a mission to prevent future collisions. Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads, impacting lives profoundly.
Join Our Team: We're expanding our National Road Victim Service and need a dedicated Caseworker to join our dynamic, compassionate team. Your role will involve delivering world-class support services to those at their most vulnerable.
Why this role is important: Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads. For families affected, the emotional and practical challenges are immense. As a Caseworker, you will provide trauma-informed care to individuals and families suffering from the sudden bereavement or life-altering injury of a loved one. Working mostly remotely, with some home visits to service users, you’ll offer vital emotional and practical support—including helping them access therapeutic resources, financial assistance, and guidance through the complexities of medical and legal processes.
What We Offer:
· A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day end of year shutdown period)
· An extra day off for your birthday to take whenever you choose
· Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave
· Death in service benefit
· Pension
· Employee Assistance Programme
· Flexible working
· Be part of a skilled, friendly team with an engaged Board of Trustees
Who You Are: We need passionate, self-starters with a background in providing high-quality emotional support and advocacy. Your experience in roles like police, criminal justice, counselling, or health and social care could make you a perfect fit.
Specifically Seeking Candidates With:
- Living in the North or East of Scotland
- a full, clean UK driving licence, access to your own transport and are willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses)
- Experience delivering frontline support, preferably involving sudden bereavement or heightened vulnerabilities.
- Understanding of criminal justice processes (desirable but not essential)
- Research and advocacy skills
- Resilience and willingness to grow
- Competent I.T. skills for remote work
Join Our Mission: Your greatest reward will be knowing you've made a positive difference in someone's recovery from psychological trauma.
About Us: Brake is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We welcome your application whatever your background or situation. We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to enrich it. So, if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you.
Apply Now: If you're up for a new challenge and have the skills, apply now.
Not for Traffic Offenders: Due to the nature of our work we can't accept applications from serious traffic offenders. Candidates will be asked to disclose whether they have any unspent points on their licence at interview.
A DBS check is required due to the sensitive nature of our service.
