Are you passionate about social justice? Do you want to help women heal and thrive?
One25 is a Bristol charity for women moving from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community. It is a highly respected charity working with some of the most marginalised women in Bristol.
One25 services have been developed to meet women at their point of need, with love and practical support. We do this through our night and early morning outreach service which is a lifeline for nearly 200 women on Bristol’s streets. Our Hub provides support for women to access health services and healthcare professionals. Our caseworkers offer intensive one-to-one care in any area of need: from support in court to finding somewhere safe to live.
We are recruiting a Van Outreach Worker to lead One25’s van outreach shifts on Saturday and Sunday nights every other weekend. The role provides support to women who are street-sex working, leads and supports a small team of volunteers on each shift, provides briefings and debriefs before and after shifts, and makes decisions relating to safeguarding and safety on the van. The role also involves an additional 2.5 hours across the week to connect with the wider team, complete admin tasks and for learning and development.
We are looking for someone who can bring compassion and a non-judgemental approach to their engagement with the women. This is a unique role, and every night can be different. You should have experience of supporting women with multiple disadvantages/complex trauma resulting from sex work, homelessness, domestic abuse, mental health or sexualised trauma. You should have great interpersonal skills and understanding of professional boundaries and confidentiality which help you to support the volunteers who keep One25’s services running. You should be confident, able to think on your feet and, when necessary, be decisive.
We value and prioritise the wellbeing of our team and offer external supervision and reflective practice alongside a variety of benefits and practices that aim to cultivate a trauma-informed environment.
‘Anyone joining One25 needs to have a willingness to walk alongside the women, to listen without judgement. Sometimes we just need to be heard. We need you to be adaptable and quick thinking. To understand the problems faced by a marginalised woman. One25 is a huge part of my life and has really supported me. When I first came through the doors, I remember being made to feel welcome, and I felt safe. At last, I knew I wasn’t alone.’
One25 is committed to being an inclusive workplace that represents the diversity of the communities we serve. We actively encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from across the global majority, LGBTQ and disability groups, and those who have lived experience of multiple disadvantages as these groups are underrepresented within our workforce.
As part of our efforts to increase ethnic diversity in particular, we are taking positive action under the Equality Act 2010 (Section 159). We will guarantee an interview to applicants from global majority backgrounds who meet the essential criteria for the role. Applicants are therefore asked to ensure they complete the Equalities Form when submitting their details in order that their application can be considered appropriately. Please refer to One25’s Recruitment Data Privacy Policy for more information.
We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments individuals may require once in post, but also during the application and interview process to make it as inclusive as possible. This could include (but is not limited to) different ways of applying, sharing interview questions in advance, or allowing more time for tasks during the interview.
Occupational Requirement
This post is open to women only, as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010. Following the recent Supreme Court judgment, this part of the Equality Act now means we may only consider applications from women who were assigned female at birth for this role. We welcome applicants to get in touch with us if they’d like to discuss this further.
Enhanced DBS disclosure will be required.
