Work Location: Hybrid in Liverpool/ Merseyside

We are looking for detail oriented and task focused professionals to join our team in providing support to adult survivors of human trafficking and modern-day slavery in the North West.

The role will consist of managing a caseload of up to 20 survivors in their recovery journey and supporting them with their recovery needs. All our Outreach clients live independently (this is not an accommodation-based role), but still require support accessing their ECAT entitlements, such as medical treatment, mental health services, legal representation, ID, education etc. Your role will be to facilitate access to the needed services by signposting or referring the clients to the appropriate stakeholders. In addition, Project Workers are expected to complete accurate and detailed official documentation for the Home Office, therefore excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.

Outreach Project Workers are the professionals who interact the most with our clients and will be required to advocate on their behalf and facilitate communication with third parties involved with their cases.

An ideal candidate will have a great aptitude to work with vulnerable people, have knowledge of record keeping, be highly organised and be an excellent communicator. As every case is unique, each client will have different recovery needs to be considered from a person-centred perspective. Furthermore, our clients all come from different social and cultural backgrounds; therefore, we are looking for staff who can be open-minded and sensitive to their needs and necessities.

The cases that we work with include:

• Complex mental health needs
• Addiction
• Asylum seekers
• Refugees
• Sexual violence
• Domestic abuse
• Homelessness
