Women’s Services Practitioner – OOCR Intensive
Support
(Female*)

*Due to the nature of our work this is a genuine occupational requirement - Equality Act 2010, Sch 9, Pt 1, Para 1

We believe that all women and girls have the right to reach their potential
and to live their lives free from poverty and violence. We are passionate
about what we do. We know it makes a difference.

Through  our work  we  know  that women  and  girls  affected  by  poverty, trauma  and  abuse  have the
potential to transform their lives. We support them by providing a safe environment and high-quality
gender-responsive and trauma-informed support.

New Dawn New Day has worked to promote women’s wellbeing for over 30 years and delivers a
range of services designed to meet the needs of women and girls, particularly those who have been
impacted by trauma.

We are committed to...

•

Improving women’s health and wellbeing, particularly those who face severe and multiple
disadvantage or who are victims and survivors of abuse and trauma.
Improving disadvantaged women’s social and economic circumstances.

•
•  Enabling greater social inclusion for women with who have multiple unmet needs.

We will do this by...

•  Ensuring that women have opportunities to enhance their health, wellbeing and personal

development as well as their economic and social circumstances.

•  Developing quality early intervention services that work with women who are at risk of

violence, abuse, exploitation and involvement in the criminal justice system.

•  Offering holistic, wraparound, gender-responsive support to meet the multiple needs of

women.

•  Ensuring our services are trauma-informed and responsive.
•
•  Being a collaborative, enterprising, sufficiently resourced and sustainable organisation.

Influencing policy and practice to create improvements in services for vulnerable women.

The following principles underpin our work...

•  All women have the right to live their lives free from poverty, violence and oppression.
•  Women affected by poverty, trauma and abuse have the potential to transform their lives
through the provision of a safe environment and high quality, gender-responsive, trauma-
informed support.

•  Women have the right to expect accessible, appropriate and timely support to address their

individual needs.

•  Women have many needs and no one service can meet the needs of any one woman. We

must therefore actively collaborate and work in partnership with other agencies to enable a
co-ordinated package of support to be provided.

•  Women using our services have the right to have their say in how these services are run and

become involved in the development and delivery of these services.

Women’s Services Practitioner – Intensive Support

We are seeking applications from experienced practitioners to deliver a range of support interventions
to women referred to New Dawn New Day through our Out of Court Resolution (OOCR) pathway. These
women may be diverted from formal criminal justice processes and can present with complex needs and
significant barriers to engagement.

This post will complement our existing OOCR pathway by working specifically with women who present
with a higher level of need and who face greater challenges in accessing support. The role offers an
opportunity to provide intensive, wraparound support that is responsive to the realities of women’s
lives and rooted in trauma-informed, relational practice.

The OOCR pathway is delivered in partnership with the OPCC, and forms part of NDND’s wider
commitment to trauma informed support within criminal justice interventions. Support is delivered
from our women’s centre in central Leicester and on an outreach basis across the county.

This will be an interesting and varied post with the postholder working as part of a small team offering
support on both a one-to-one and group basis. The approach is holistic, relational, gender responsive
and trauma informed.

On a day-to-day basis this will involve:

•  Dealing with referrals to the service; making contact with the women who are referred, liaising

with colleagues in probation and setting up initial appointments.

•  Managing referrals to the service: making initial contact with referred women, liaising with

police and partner agencies, and setting up appointments.

•  Carrying out holistic assessments of each woman’s needs, risks, and strengths, and co-producing

action plans that reflect their goals and priorities.

•  Delivering support in community settings when attending the centre is a barrier, including home

visits and accompaniment to appointments.

•  Providing practical and emotional support to help women take steps towards their goals. This

may include referrals to specialist services (e.g. recovery, mental health, education, employment,
debt and benefits advice), or advocacy to access housing, emergency support, or safeguarding.

•  Making regular check-in calls and...
