Senior Enhancement Worker
This fixed term role is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative, forward-thinking partnership, combining holistic, patient-led care with trauma-informed values and support.
KSS Provider Collaborative provides inpatient secure services to adults across the Kent, Surrey, and Sussex area, including women detained under the Mental Health Act.
In partnership with The Women’s Support Centre Surrey, Brighton Women’s Centre (BWC) will be delivering 1:1 wellbeing support and group activities to women based in secure forensic units.
The goal is to co-design and deliver weekly group activities aimed at improving well-being, confidence and support. The Women’s Senior Enhancement Worker will also be responsible for a small caseload of women, providing 1-1 support around transitions into the next appropriate setting, which could mean another hospital, supported accommodation or independent living.
Alongside your own caseload, you will provide trauma-informed, strengths-based line-management to a team of two Women’s Enhancement Workers based in other hospitals.
Together you will be creating safe, non-judgmental spaces in which to co-produce support across a range of needs, building on your service-users knowledge, confidence and connections.
The Women’s Secure Senior Enhancement Worker will be informed by BWC’s values, policies and procedures and will understand the importance of building trust and self-esteem with service users while working collaboratively with key staff and agencies.
You will be responsible for promoting this service within the partnership and across external pathways, as well as overseeing and completing reporting requirements for this project on the BWC database.
This role is subject to an enhanced DBS and other standard new starter checks.
