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. 

To apply 

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

Gallech fod yn chwarae rhan sylweddol yn ein hymrwymiad i gyflwyno ein gwasanaethau cymorth trawma ledled y wlad sydd wedi'u datblygu'n glinigol.

Rydym yn chwilio am bobl sydd â chefndir mewn darparu cymorth emosiynol ac ymchwil ac eiriolaeth ymarferol i bobl fregus ar ôl trawma seicolegol difrifol fel marwolaeth anwylyn mewn amgylchiadau treisgar. 

Yn benodol, rydym yn chwilio am ymgeiswyr gyda: 

• profiad o ofal rheng flaen i bobl mewn argyfwng gyda bregusrwydd a risgiau dwys (dymunol ond nid hanfodol)

• cadernid sylweddol a pharodrwydd i gael eich datblygu'n broffesiynol a'ch goruchwylio'n glinigol

Daw'r wobr fwyaf o wybod eich bod wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol gadarnhaol i adferiad rhywun o drawma seicolegol, a'r heriau emosiynol neu ymarferol a brofir gan eu galar sydyn neu anaf difrifol. 

Os ydych yn ceisio her newydd ac yn meddwl fod gennych y sgiliau, angerdd a'r ymrwymiad rydym yn chwilio amdano, byddem â diddordeb clywed gennych chi.

• Bydd gofyn i'r ymgeisydd llwyddiannus fynd drwy broses fetio DBS uwch oherwydd natur sensitif y gwasanaeth a gyflawnir. Efallai bydd angen fetio heddlu ychwanegol (i'w gadarnhau). 

• Dalier sylw nad ydym yn derbyn ceisiadau gan droseddwyr traffig difrifol oherwydd natur ein gwaith. ⁠Mae gweithwyr yn destun gwiriadau trwyddedau gyrru.

We're hiring! 

We are on the lookout for a Prospect Researcher and Coordinator to join our talented UK Trusts team. If you are a motivated and highly organised individual with an eye for detail, we want to hear from you! 

Tearfund's vision is to see people lifted out of poverty, living transformed lives and fulfilling their God-given potential. As trust fundraisers we have the joy of helping to make that happen. Our team manages key donor relationships, aiming to secure significant grants that will extend Tearfund's reach and impact around the world.

We have the privilege of working with a wide range of funders, as well as Tearfund's field staff, technical experts and leadership team. We enable funders to connect with the issues they are passionate about and to challenge the injustices they see. 

This role will involve conducting vital research on trusts and foundations to help us engage more effectively with existing donors and uncover new prospects. Additionally, you will support the team's administrative functions, ensuring smooth operations and effective planning.

Good relationships are key to what we do - both internally and externally - so building connections in both spheres is key to this role. 

We offer a supportive team environment, where we are always learning, as well as the opportunity to test new ideas and develop our approach to trust fundraising. 

Please note: This role is part time (28 hours per week) and fixed term for 6 months.  The full time salary is £32,291 per annum and the part time salary is £25,833 (part time 4 days per week).

We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and those from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds (in our UK workforce) as these groups are currently under-represented at Tearfund.

This role is eligible for hybrid working and you will be required to work from a designated Tearfund office and from your home by agreement with the line manager.

All applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs.

The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.

Contract type:​ Permanent, 3-5 days per week
Salary:​ £48,000-£50,000 pro-rata
Hours:​ 22.5-37.5 hours per week. Flexibility around compressed hours.
Deadline: Sunday 22nd September 2024, 11:59 pm 

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.

Hours: 26 hours, Part-time,
Salary: £24,641 per annum (actual for 26 hours)

Location: ISHA, 102 Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park, N4 2DR

Requirements

We are looking for a confident individual with great interpersonal skills for this busy Housing role. If this is you, come and join us at ISHA as our Specialist Tenancy Officer.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Housing professional to join our small, but supportive, Housing Team working with ISHA’s older adults and providing an enhanced housing management service. It is an interesting and varied role for an engaging, solution-focused person, with a passion for providing excellent people-focused services, and someone who wants to add value within an organisation.

You will work closely with the external Care and Support agencies caring for our residents, to support with maintaining a safe and secure living environment and their wellbeing. This includes continuous improvement across all areas of the role, while helping to support and achieve our organisational objectives.

About ISHA

We are a small but ambitious housing association at a critical juncture. Our ambition is for the communities we are anchored in and exist to serve, and we have done and achieved much over the past few years. But in these challenging times we know we’ll achieve nothing unless we are equally ambitious for own our people.

Our values are at the heart of who we are and everything we do, inspiring our thinking and guiding our actions. We strive to build a more diverse organisation, where everyone feels empowered to bring, and be, their best self to work.

We can’t be a brilliant landlord if we don’t partner with brilliant colleagues. Could you be one of them and be trusted to make the difference?

If this sounds exciting, we want you on our team. Please do submit an application.

Staff Benefits

We’ll offer you a generous pension scheme (up to 10% employer matched contributions and a death in service benefit), 29 days annual leave (increasing after five years’ service), eye care vouchers, a cycle to work scheme and other great benefits (see attached). We have an evolving wellbeing offer, that is being developed following employee feedback, and we will invest in your professional development with on-going training and career development opportunities.

Inclusion and Diversity

We want ISHA to be a great place to work and to ensure that our communities are represented across our workforce. A vital part of this is ensuring we are a truly inclusive organisation that encourages diversity in all respects, including diversity of thinking. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and those of Other Ethnicities, LGBTQ+, disabled and neurodiverse communities to make a real difference to our residents so that passionate commitment to customers, respect for everyone, pride in Team ISHA and trusted to make the difference remains at the heart of everything we do.
