Health Hub Support Worker (Part-time, Fixed term contract, Female-only)

One25 is a Bristol charity for women moving from crisis and trauma towards independence in the community. It is a highly respected charity working with some of the most marginalised women to help them to heal and thrive.

“One25 is a huge part of my life and has really supported me. When I first came through the doors, I remember being made to feel welcome, and I felt safe. At last, I knew I wasn’t alone. I wouldn’t have my flat without being supported when I was homeless. One25 has helped me throughout my addiction and what goes with it. They let me take the time I needed and were there when I was ready to access help around domestic violence with my ex-partner. I can’t explain how it felt to finally open up and to say ‘I’m not ok’.“ – One25 Service User

One25 services have been developed to meet women at their point of need, with love and practical support. We do this through our night outreach service which is a lifeline for nearly 135 women on Bristol’s streets. Our specialist caseworkers offer intensive one-to-one care in any area of need: from support in court to finding somewhere safe to live. Our new Health Hub provides vital access for women to health services, supported by healthcare professionals.

This is an exciting opportunity for a people person to join our team. The Health Hub Support Worker is a new role and will to support the delivery of our Health Hub at One25. You will support women to access the service, assessing their need and connecting them with support they need with compassion and care. You will work with a range of professionals to increase women’s safety and improve their health and wellbeing.

For this role, we are looking for a team player who is driven to deliver trauma informed support and thrives in working in fast paced environments.

“Anyone joining One25 needs to have a willingness to walk alongside the women, to listen without judgement. Sometimes we just need to be heard. We need you to be adaptable and quick thinking. To understand the problems faced by a marginalised woman.” – One25 Service User
