Ranked 2023 Q4 by Best Companies as the 8th best charity to work for in the UK, Medaille Trust is one of the UK's leading charities in the fight against modern slavery.

Our innovative model is based on three principles:
Prevent, Protect and Pursue.

We are one of the UK's largest providers of survivor services, with ten safehouses and six outreach hubs, staffed round the clock by specialist staff, working with more than 600 men, women and dependent children each year.

We work to raise awareness in the UK and to provide preventive work in source countries.

Our Pursue work helps survivors to engage with police and within the legal system to seek justice and to secure convictions against their perpetrators.

This service in the Manchester area and is a male safe house.

We are seeking a confident and experienced Modern Slavery Case Worker Assistant with a wide range of skills and importantly, a 'can do' approach.

As a Modern Slavery Case Worker Assistant, you will provide high quality practical and emotional support to potential victims of modern slavery within a safehouse setting.

You will work as a member of the team providing a safe temporary environment for vulnerable adults who have experienced trauma and exploitation.

This service is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Applicants must be willing to work flexibly, which will include on call duties, evenings, weekends and bank. Both roles will work between two properties approximately 4 miles apart on a rota basis.

The 30 hour per week post will be shifts from 4pm-10pm, 5 days per week, however, the initial induction will consist of day shifts until knowledge of safe house is comprehensive.

You must have experience of working with vulnerable adults, the ability to work within a 'risk associated' environment and ideally experience of working within a residential or community setting with non-UK citizens.

Relevant social care qualifications or suitable experience of supporting vulnerable people is essential.

This is a challenging but important and rewarding job because our team members know they are working hard to help transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable people.
