We are looking for someone to join the Bristol Women’s Pathway (*women only) as a Project Worker. The service provides specialist safe spaces from abuse, exploitation or Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).
In this role you will work across the Women’s Pathway in 3 semi-independent projects. Working as part of a dedicated team to provide a safe, high quality, positive and inclusive service to clients; by working with people to identify their personal aims and ambitions and providing practical and personal support in an approachable, caring, and person-centred way. You will work independently at times and be comfortable as a lone worker.
In this role you will work on a shift rota including mornings, evenings and weekends. In some of these role’s staff can claim an additional 20% pay premium for hours worked between 8pm and 8am Monday to Friday, and all hours worked on Saturday and Sunday.
We are committed to working with a Recovery Based Approach and supporting people to meet their individual needs. Why not join the team to support our clients on their recovery journey?

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for enthusiastic people with experience helping people throughout difficult periods and a process of change, and able to manage complex situations. If you have good interpersonal and skills, patience and resilience we will provide you with the knowledge and training you need to work with clients in a holistic and person-centred way. You should also demonstrate:

  • A sound understanding of the issues faced by people experiencing homelessness, and the difficulties they can experience in accessing services.
  • Some experience of liaising with a number of individuals or agencies to achieve effective outcomes for others.
  • Good communication and listening skills and the ability to work with a variety of different people.
  • The ability to work in a role that supports vulnerable people and maintain high level of contact with clients on a day to day basis.
  • Above all, you should have a genuine desire to support people to transform their lives with a non-judgemental approach to working with people with complex needs.
  • For posts in our Women’s service for genuine occupational requirement reasons we are looking to appoint a female only for these posts (exemption under the Equality Act 2010 Part 1 Schedule 9).
