Part-time Senior Support Worker – SHE-roes Lounge and Peer Group & Telephone Support (Maternity Cover)
General Information
S.H.E. UK is a small charity based in Nottinghamshire. We specialise in offering a range of specialist support services to adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence and rape. Our main office is based in Mansfield, and we support survivors across the county – we support all genders (although mainly women currently use our service) and across the county.
Our services include our therapy service, where we offer up to two years’ worth of support to survivors, tailored to their needs. In addition, we provide immediate telephone support to our clients until they commence 1:1 therapy. These calls allow us to offer emotional (non-therapeutic) support, and signposting to assist clients with any other life challenges, and it helps clients feel cared about and connected. In addition to this, we offer a weekly female only peer group – where survivors come together to engage in our self-development educational programme (to understand more about the effects of trauma), as well as spend time developing social connections – this is affectionately known as our ‘SHE-roes lounge’. We offer long-term, holistic support and are proud of our unique approach to supporting survivors – we aim to empower people to move from merely surviving to thriving in their lives.
We currently have a vacancy, to cover maternity leave until September 2027, to join our friendly team – the position is a combined role as a part-time Senior Support Worker. The position is offered at 12-14 hours per week.
