Who we are 

We are Brake, the national, acclaimed road safety charity which provides the National Road Victim Service (NRVS). We have been supporting victims of the carnage on our roads since 1995. We also campaign for positive change to prevent future collisions and save lives. 

A rare and exciting opportunity to help us to help others 

Did you know that every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads? The impact of that on individuals and their wider families is profound and far reaching and it can happen to any of us, at any time. 

The National Road Victim Service is growing, allowing us to reach greater numbers of people in need and building upon our well-established foundation to create an enduring legacy. To support this growth we’re looking for a dedicated caseworker to become part of our enthusiastic, energised and dynamic team, delivering world-class support services to people at a time when they are most vulnerable. 

This is definitely not the average 9 to 5 job, and it is not every day that opportunities like this come along. You could be playing a significant part in our commitment to roll out our clinically developed, trauma informed support services across the country, making a positive contribution to the lives of those traumatically bereaved or seriously injured as a result of road traffic collisions. 

What we offer 

• 36 days holiday (including bank holidays, pro rata for part-time working patterns) 

• Employee Assistance Programme 

• Flexible working 

• Ongoing support including regular independent clinical supervision sessions 

• Be an essential part of a skilled, dedicated and friendly team with a knowledgeable and engaged Board of Trustees 

Who you are 

We need energised, self-starters who are passionate about helping others, to join our fantastic team. 

We are looking for people who have a background in providing emotional support and practical research and advocacy for vulnerable people after a serious psychological trauma such as the death of a loved one in violent circumstances. 

Specifically we are seeking candidates with: 

• experience of frontline care for people in crisis with acute vulnerabilities and risks (desirable but not essential) 

• comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system (desirable but not essential) 

• research and advocacy skills – you get crucial things done through liaison with external agencies 

• significant resilience, and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised 

• a full UK driving licence, with access to your own transport and are willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses).

Candidates must be able to speak Welsh. You will be expected to support families who are first language Welsh.  

We are interested in receiving applications, not to the exclusion of others, from candidates with experience supporting people who have suffered sudden bereavement or working with those with heightened vulnerabilities. 

Experience gained in the following kinds of roles tends to transfer well to the role of caseworker at Brake: police force, roles within the criminal justice system, family liaison officer, counsellor, experience in health and social care or previous caseworker experience in any area. 

The greatest reward comes from knowing you have made a real positive difference to someone’s recovery from psychological trauma, and the emotional or practical challenges presented by their sudden bereavement or serious injury. 

If you are seeking out a new challenge and think you have the skills, passion, and commitment that we are looking for, we would be interested in hearing from you. 

About the team and how we work 

• Brake actively promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion. We employ based on skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation 

• The successful candidate will be required to go through an enhanced DBS vetting process due to the sensitive nature of the service delivered. Additional police vetting may also be required (TBC) 

• Please note we do not accept applications from serious traffic offenders due to the nature of our work. Employees are subject to driver licence checks.

Background to the role

AUKEL recruited a new Chief Executive in April 2023, and a new chair in February 2024. In March 2024 we published an ambitious five year strategy which sets out how we want to increase the extent we meet the needs of older people in East London. We have a number of organisational transformation objectives which underpin the strategy; these are things we need to do to strengthen our foundations (following a period of rapid growth) and equip us to deliver safe effective services, at scale, across our footprint.

We are looking for someone to join our team to work with the Service Director to lead the transformation of our Hospital and Home services. These:

- Currently are provided at four hospitals broadly covering four boroughs: Homerton (Hackney), Newham (Newham), The Royal London (Tower Hamlets), Whipps Cross (Waltham Forest). And are staffed by 16 AUKEL employees – three co-ordinators, two project officers, 10 support workers, and an administrator.

- Homerton and The Royal London are jointly commissioned until end March 2029. Newham has been extended to the end of June 2026. Whipps Cross is due to be re-procured, with a short extension under consideration, we aim to jointly bid for this with our neighbouring AUKs.

- Assist vulnerable adults in getting home from hospital, carrying out safety checks in the home, give advice on practical and wellbeing matters, and visiting regularly for a period of four to six weeks after discharge

- Are commissioned based on meeting pre-agreed targets for the number of referrals accepted, and are fully embedded into the hospital discharge system.

- Typically include provision of handyperson services, which is operationally delivered separately by three handypeople.

This will be a challenging and rewarding role; you’ll need experience of change management and of leading operations. You will be resilient and will have values which align with ours: Kind, Accountable, Collaborative, Flexible and Inclusive. This is a chance to join our team at an exciting time; we’ll expect a great deal of you but in return you’ll be well supported, invested-in and given lots of opportunity to learn and grow as an organisational leader.

We’re particularly hoping to recruit someone from the global majority as our leadership team doesn’t currently adequately represent the communities we serve.

Rare opportunity: Help those affected by road crashes and create lasting change with Brake, the renowned road safety charity.

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 looking for a dedicated Bereavement Caseworker to join our dynamic, compassionate team. Your role will involve delivering world-class support services to those at their most vulnerable.

Not your average job: This isn't a 9 to 5. You could play a significant part in delivering trauma-informed support services nationwide. Make a real difference in the lives of those affected by road traffic collisions. 

What we offer:

• A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day shutdown period between Christmas and New Year. Pro-rata for part-time working patterns)
• 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 
• Ongoing support and clinical supervision 
• Be part of a skilled, friendly team with an engaged Board of Trustees 

Who you are: We are looking for dedicated, adaptable and empathic people with a background in providing high-quality emotional support and advocacy. Experience gained in the following kinds of roles tends to transfer well to the role of caseworker at Brake: police force, roles within the criminal justice system, family liaison officer, counsellor, experience in health and social care or previous caseworker experience in any area. 

Specifically seeking candidates that have:

• A full clean UK driving licence, with your own vehicle and a willingness to use it for work purposes (travel expenses will be reimbursed)
• Located in the Devon and Cornwall area. You will support service users through their preferred communication method, which may be via Teams or telephone and there will be some face-to-face meetings with clients in their own home or safe meeting place
• Experience of frontline care for people in crisis with acute vulnerabilities and risks (desirable but not essential) 
• Comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system (desirable but not essential) 
• Research and advocacy skills – you will reach out to other organisations to support your cases where required 
• Significant resilience, and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised 

We are interested in receiving applications, not to the exclusion of others, from candidates with experience supporting people who have suffered sudden bereavement or working with those with heightened vulnerabilities. 

The greatest reward comes from knowing you have made a real positive difference to someone’s recovery from psychological trauma, and the emotional or practical challenges presented by their sudden bereavement or serious injury. 

If you are seeking out a new challenge and think you have the skills, passion, and commitment that we are looking for, we would be interested in hearing from you. 

About the team and how we work

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 are proud to be a disability confident employer. 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.

The successful candidate will be required to go through an enhanced DBS vetting process due to the sensitive nature of the service delivered.

We do not accept applications from serious traffic offenders due to the nature of our work. Candidates will be asked to disclose any unspent points at interview. Employees are subject to driver licence checks. 

To apply

Submit your CV and a covering letter which clearly demonstrate you have what it takes to perform this challenging and rewarding role.
