• Collaboration: You’re an empathetic communicator, who can quickly build rapport with your clients. You can effectively share back your knowledge about best practice, client engagement techniques, and organisational partnerships with colleagues.
• Motivation and commitment: Helping your clients reach their employment goals requires hard work, tenacity, and a sense of purpose.
• Experience and confidence in empowering people with complex challenges: Many of the veterans you’ll be working with need intensive support to manage health issues, substance use, insecure housing, criminal records, or other barriers to employment.

Why Should you apply?

• An opportunity to give back to our armed forces, and make a lasting positive impact in the lives of veterans and their families.
• A competitive salary and benefits package, including generous holiday and pension contributions.
• A varied role, with a mix of travelling in your area, home working, quarterly shared-space working days, and biannual visits to the Poppy Factory in Richmond, London.
• A welcoming and empowering culture, with regular opportunities for team connecting and shared learning throughout the year.
• An opportunity to flex your outreach and engagement skills, collaborating with organisations across your region to empower your clients, grow our service, and make a lasting impact.

This provides a ready-made peer group who share best practice and knowledge and support each other so, in turn, they can best support road victims. There's no sugar coating it, this isn't an easy role, it requires a special type of person with strong resilience, but the reward is a strong sense of purpose, every day. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so we have strong support systems in place to support our caseworker's wellbeing, including clinical supervision. 

What we offer:

· A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day end of year shutdown)

Who we're looking for 

Full training will be provided under the guidance of our dedicated Training Officer.
