Triage and Brief Intervention Worker

About the role

The role will work to assess the needs and eligibility of people referred to the Pan-London LGBT+ Domestic Abuse service, ensuring potential risk or safeguarding issues are identified. The Triage and Brief Intervention Worker will be responsible for completing triage assessments, one-off brief interventions with people who are assessed as low-medium need or referring into Galop's advocacy services or partner agencies for advocacy and support.

The work will involve offering them a conversation to find out about their situation, completing triage assessment paperwork and either referring them into the relevant service that will meet their needs or providing short term support, signposting and safety planning.

Your triage work will enable people referred into our service to feel heard, supported and access the advocacy that they require. You will need excellent listening and communication skills, with the ability to obtain the information you need to assess a case while leaving clients feeling supported. Most importantly, you need the capacity and understanding of the broad spectrum of needs that victims and survivors of domestic abuse may present with and be able to provide non-judgemental support at all times.

The role is based in Galop's central London building but hybrid working is available (with an expectation of two days a week in the office). National candidates will be considered on remote contracts, however please note that wherever candidates are based, this role requires some travel to and across London for cross-partnership working and mandatory training opportunities, as well as all-staff days and events.
