Interview: Week commencing 15th June 2026

We welcome applicants from a broad range of professional backgrounds, including health, homelessness, VAWG, women’s rights and community-based organisations. What matters most is your commitment to our mission and your ability to respond to women’s needs.

We are a small, friendly and deeply committed team. We are looking for someone who wants to contribute to a collaborative, purpose-led culture and who has the emotional resilience to work in an environment shaped by trauma, inequality and women’s lived experiences of harm.

One25 is a Bristol charity for women moving from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community. It is a highly respected charity working with some of the most vulnerable women to help them to heal and thrive.

One25 services have been developed to meet women at their point of need, with love and practical support. We do this through our night outreach service which is a lifeline for nearly 135 women on Bristol’s streets. Our specialist caseworkers offer intensive one-to-one care in any area of need: from support in court to finding somewhere safe to live. Our Health Hub provides vital access for women to health services, supported by healthcare professionals.

This is an exciting opportunity to join One25 as we recruit a Mental Health Caseworker to join our specialist team. You will be supporting women who street sex work and who face significant barriers to accessing mental health support. This role is key to supporting and advocating for women to have access to mainstream mental health support, while providing trauma informed practical and emotional support to each woman.

We are looking for someone who is creative, values person-centred support and a team player who is passionate about tackling health inequalities that women who street sex work face.

We value and prioritise the wellbeing of our team and offer external supervision, reflective practice, formulation and wellbeing leave to our frontline teams.

One25 is committed to being an inclusive workplace that represents the diversity of the communities we serve. We actively encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from across the global majority, LGBTQ and disability groups, and those who have lived experience of multiple disadvantages as these groups are underrepresented within our workforce.

As part of our efforts to increase ethnic diversity, we are taking positive action under the Equality Act 2010 (Section 159). We will guarantee an interview to applicants from global majority backgrounds who meet the essential criteria for the role.  Applicants are therefore asked to ensure they complete the Equalities Form when submitting their details in order that their application can be considered appropriately. Please refer to One25’s Recruitment Data Privacy Policy for more information.

We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments individuals may require once in post, but also during the application and interview process to make it as inclusive as possible. This could include (but is not limited to) different ways of applying, sharing interview questions in advance, or allowing more time for tasks during the interview.

Occupational Requirement

This post is open to women only, as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010. Following the recent Supreme Court judgment, this part of the Equality Act now means we may only consider applications from women who were assigned female at birth for this role. We welcome applicants to get in touch with us if they’d like to discuss this further.

Enhanced DBS disclosure will be required.

Hours: 22.5 hours per week over 3 days. Caseworkers are required to complete a monthly van outreach shift (evening/night hours which can be taken back as TOIL) and to participate in the evening on-call rota (typically once every few months).
