In partnership with The Women’s Support Centre Surrey, Brighton Women’s Centre (BWC) have been commissioned to deliver 1:1 wellbeing support and group activities to women based in forensic units.
The goal is to co-design and deliver weekly group activities aimed at improving well-being, confidence and support.
The Women’s 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.
Working with a women-centred, trauma-informed, holistic approach, you will create safe, non-judgmental spaces in which to co-produce support across a range of pathway needs, including recognising domestic abuse and understanding healthy relationships, parenting and families, physical and mental health services.
The Women’s 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.
