The Spring of Hope Night Support Workers will oversee the night shelter at Spring of Hope Women's Centre, providing and promoting a mutually caring and safe environment for women staying overnight.  Night Support Workers will draw upon Trauma and Psychologically Informed approaches to welcome women for the night, ensure that they feel settled and help them to be ready the following morning.  The model is for the shelter to be ‘quiet’ overnight, but with staff available to respond when needed.

The successful candidates will have experience of working with vulnerable women and be able to work both as part of a team and individually.  She will be person centred with a sense of calling to clients and the aims of the service, whilst also able to maintain strong boundaries.
