- Safeguard clients appropriately and escalate concerns in line with policy.
- Refer and signpost to additional support services where required.
2. Stakeholder and volunteer engagement
- Engage with stakeholders and partners to develop networks and identify job, training, education and work experience opportunities for clients.
- Support outreach initiatives by developing and maintaining relationships with partners (e.g. referral partners, training providers, employers and professional bodies)
- Advocate on behalf of clients to address specific barriers to employment or accreditation.
- Collaborate with colleagues responsible for employer and partner engagement to match clients to appropriate opportunities.
- Liaise with volunteers to source additional expertise and mentoring opportunities for clients.
- Represent Breaking Barriers at occasional events or meetings as required.
3. Monitoring, Reporting & Administration
- Maintain accurate, timely and detailed client records on the CRM system.
- Track and report on client progression against agreed milestones and KPIs.
- Ensure documentation and evidence are completed in line with reporting requirements.
- Complete enrolment and administrative processes efficiently.
- Support monitoring and evaluation processes to inform service improvement.
4. Cross-Organisational Collaboration & Integrated Working
- Work closely with colleagues across all functions to ensure seamless client journeys, aligning support, avoiding duplication and maintaining clarity of progression plans.
- Share knowledge of sector pathways, labour market developments and client trends to inform service development and team learning.
- Contribute to service development as the service redesign evolves.
- Participate actively in team meetings, case reviews, reflective practice sessions, appraisals and inductions, contributing to strong team relationships and continuous service improvement.

We support people in a huge range of difficult situations, including those who use drugs and alcohol, and those whose home life is affected by drugs, mental health and/or domestic violence. We're the largest charity of this type in the country, supporting tens of thousands of people in their own journeys. Hundreds of staff work across our organisation to support some of the most vulnerable people in society. Among the many services we offer are:
- Needle exchanges, both in-person and anonymous
- Screening for blood-borne viruses

- Case workers who specialise in helping children and young people
Responsibilities
Our technology
We've got complex requirements: recording, monitoring and reviewing information about our clients, with their informed consent. Our in-house web application acts as an electronic patient record, a case management system, a quality management system, and more - it's grown over the last 15 years!
We started out with a Perl application, and have improved it aggressively over the years. All our software is deployed using Docker containers using ECS; much of it using infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Pulumi. Our data is stored in a serverless/autoscaling MySQL database.
Newer work is often written in TypeScript, using NestJS and SvelteKit. We’ll use a variety of testing tools in both languages: end-to-end, integration and unit testing are all covered.
We practice a genuinely blame-free culture with incidents/mistakes and always focus our conversations on improving processes, not individual recrimination.
We're looking for compassionate, bold, open-minded software developers to help us build this software. Your efforts will empower frontline professionals carry out their life-saving work.
About you!
An ideal candidate will have some familiarity with SQL: our team write queries often!
We’d love to see candidates with some strong knowledge of HTML and CSS beyond the basics. We don't need you to know any frameworks in particular - but we'd love to see great fundamentals for building on the web, so you should have some experience building applications using JavaScript in the browser.
Debugging and testing experience is a must, in any language - we think that's a highly transferrable skill.
Previous experience with Perl is not a strict requirement. We're happy to show you the ropes - you'll be up to speed in no time!
You should really care about security. You’ll be happy to openly discuss approaches which make the software as safe as possible for people who use our services.
You’ll relish – or at least, enjoy the challenge of - diving into legacy code and documenting, improving and testing the code our users rely on. When you choose to rebuild things, it’s because you genuinely understand the previous solution and its shortcomings.
You'll be a curious, generalist thinker, never limiting yourself to one narrow specialty. As a team, we'll jump from CSS to AWS infrastructure in a day’s work. Of course, we don’t know everything: it's a perfect environment for learning; “I don’t know, let me check” is always a good answer.
What we will give to you:
- 25 days holiday (+ bank holidays) rising by 1 day for each years’ service “Capped at 30 days”.
- Paid ‘Wellness’ hour each week along with a ‘Wellness’ hub and Employee Assist Programme
- Contributory pension scheme
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Eye Test Vouchers
- A great selection of benefits incl. discounts for shopping, cycling, gym membership, cinema, holidays, etc.
- A friendly and supportive team
- Training, career development & progression opportunities
Please ensure that when completing your application form and supporting statement, you reflect on the details outlined in the job description. This will help us understand how your skills and experiences align with the requirements of the role.
