Project support worker jobs

The Support Worker will join Womankind’s staff team based in central Bristol,
providing trauma‑informed, practical and emotional support to young women
aged 16–18 affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence so that they can
access counselling at Womankind. They will also provide emotional and
signposting support to women accessing Womankind’s Waiting Well Service.
They will be responsible for coordinating referrals, delivering welfare calls and
carrying out triage assessments, supporting safe transitions into service with
Womankind, liaising closely with partner agencies to ensure warm handovers and
clear referral pathways. The Support Worker will contribute to high‑quality, safe
service delivery by maintaining accurate records, responding appropriately to
safeguarding concerns, and upholding Womankind’s values and commitment to
empowering women.
We are committed to better representing the women we support and therefore
are particularly keen to invite applications from global majority groups, or those
considered to be from marginalised communities. We also encourage applications
from people with lived experience of mental health issues, and/or domestic
abuse, sexual abuse and violence.

The post/role is only open to female applicants and is exempt under Schedule 9 Part 1 Equalities Act 2010. Sec.25(2)(d) of the Race Relations Act 1997 apply.
