About the role
We are seeking a Specialist Practitioner to support pioneering Sex Worker Outreach within our dynamic and forward-thinking organisation.
This role offers a profound opportunity to make a significant impact, supporting within a dedicated team focused on assisting individuals engaged in or at risk of engaging in sex work. The essence of this role is to reach, support, engage, and provide choices to individuals, employing a comprehensive and empathetic approach to address both immediate needs and the underlying challenges faced by this community.
As a new role, we are looking for someone who can make it their own, working flexibly and creatively to support vulnerable adults. Evening work will be part of the role, on a rota basis, to ensure accessible services for all.
Key Responsibilities:
* Strategic Outreach: Lead the team in implementing proactive outreach strategies to engage with individuals involved in sex work, focusing on reaching those who may not seek help voluntarily, using a non-judgmental and persistent approach.
* Holistic Support: Promote a holistic, trauma-informed service model that recognizes the complex socio-economic challenges, stigma, and discrimination faced by sex workers, aiming to understand and address these multifaceted experiences.
* Partnership Collaboration: Develop strategic alliances with city-wide services, including sex worker charities, domestic abuse agencies, homelessness prevention, and substance misuse specialists, to enhance safety and health outcomes.
* Person-Centred Care: Ensure the delivery of tailored, person-centered support by working closely with key agencies and leading the team in creating comprehensive care plans aligned with individual needs.
* Access to Recovery Services: Facilitate access to inpatient detoxification and residential rehabilitation services, supporting individuals through their recovery process and ensuring smooth transitions.
