An inspiring and unique opportunity has opened within our Anti-Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery Operations Unit in Newcastle. We’re looking for a committed, energetic, and compassionate individual who is ready to step into a role that genuinely transforms lives.
This is more than a job; it’s a chance to stand alongside some of the most vulnerable people in our society, empowering survivors of exploitation to rebuild their futures with dignity and confidence.
What You’ll Be Doing
As a Specialist Support Worker, you will be at the heart of our mission. You’ll deliver a high-quality frontline service to survivors of all forms of modern slavery, including sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, forced labour, and other forms of trafficking.
You’ll work with individuals at the highest levels of risk, providing practical and emotional support while ensuring their safety and well-being at every step.
Collaboration is key: you’ll work closely with a wide range of partners - the Home Office, police, NHS teams, local authorities, housing providers, and legal representatives - ensuring every person in our care receives the comprehensive and coordinated support they deserve.

1. Motivated, dynamic, and resilient

3. Driven by positive outcomes, with a passion for championing client needs
4. Knowledgeable about services that support vulnerable individuals
5. Flexible and solution-focused, especially in challenging situations
6. Experience working within a supported accommodation environment
7. Level 3 NVQ qualification or equivalent in a related field, or be willing to work towards it
8. An understanding of legislation relating to Health and Safety and the safeguarding of clients and staff
9. Ability to work within the Christian ethos of The Salvation Army
10. Conduct risk assessments, devise Person Centred Support Plans and facilitation methods to promote client engagement and successful outcomes
11. Can deliver a client-focused service which undertakes holistic support needs, risk assessments and identifies appropriate support
12. Good written and verbal communication skills
13. Ability to successfully work independently and within a team
Your role is vital to The Salvation Army’s commitment to helping survivors regain control, find hope, and build safe, fulfilling lives.
