BACKGROUND & AIMS OF IMPACT INITIATIVES

Providing a voice, hope and change for Sussex people in need.

Impact Initiatives was founded in 1978 to resolve the social issues that Brighton and Hove
communities were facing at the time.  Our founders were a diverse collection of individuals
who cared enough about community issues to come together and act against the injustices
they  saw  on  their  doorstop.    Over  the  years  Impact  has  grown  and  evolved  as  an
organisation but what has never changed, is that we continue to provide a voice, hope and
change for the people who need it most.

Today our services work tirelessly to support, champion and inspire children, young people,
adults with disabilities and older people.  Ultimately, we believe that everybody should have
the opportunity to be the best they can be.  Our vision is for Sussex people of all ages to
reach their potential, living healthy and fulfilling lives.

Impact’s model of having a Central Team  - who provide expertise in finance, HR, IT and
facilities, health and safety, and business development  - ensures each of our specialist
teams can focus on excellence in individual service delivery and development.   We employ
around 100 staff who are supported by a team of volunteers and currently work with over
10,000 people each year.

Stopover provides a unique, women only supported housing in Brighton & Hove and West
Sussex. Accommodation is provided across 10 houses, detailed below.

Stopover  1  provides  supported  housing  for  nine  homeless  or  insecurely  housed  young
women between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five for up to two years. During this time,
they  are  encouraged  to  develop  the  skills  and  confidence  they  will  need  to  live
independently  and  sustain  a  tenancy.  The  young  women  are  expected  to  live  within  the
house rules, attend key work sessions and complete the in-house life skills training before
they are referred for move-on accommodation. The house offers intensive support; staffed
twenty-four hours as a reflection of the clients whose needs arise from a history of negative
and  damaging  relationships  including  abuse  and  domestic  violence  as  well  as  mental
health issues, behavioural issues, and substance misuse. The role of the Support Worker is
to provide a consistent positive professional relationship that will allow the young women
to  start  to  trust,  open  up  and  address  the  issues  in  their  past.  As  a  result  of  presenting
support  needs  there  are  times  when  the  young  women  can  challenge  us,  and  an
understanding of their previous chaotic lifestyles is essential in this role. Support Workers
work as part of a rota system including cover over night and at weekends. All staff hold a
caseload of clients within the house.

Stopover 2 provides supported accommodation for nine young women between the ages
of eighteen and twenty-five (under eighteen in agreed circumstances only) who have usually
previously  completed  a  successful  stay  in  a  house  with  higher  support.  Young  women
accommodated here will be expected to have completed a recognised life skills course and
will  be  meaningfully  occupied....

• Date Posted: 16 January 2026
• Recruiter: YMCA DownsLink Group
• Website: https://www.ymcadlg.org/
• Location: Staines, Surrey
• Salary: £32,565
• Role: Frontline jobs, Experts by Experience jobs
• Job type: Contract
• Work hours: Full Time

Job Description

37 hours per week / £32,565 per annum, pro rata / fixed-term Maternity cover (12 Months) / working Monday - Thursday 9.00-1700, Friday 9.00-16.30.

Application closing date: 8 February 2026

At YMCA DownsLink Group,  our mission is to help children and young people have a fair chance to be who they want to be. We do this by providing a safe home, building life skills and self-confidence, and supporting emotional wellbeing and mental health.

Our Values - we do what’s right, we work with heart, and we build real connections - guide and shape how we show up for children and young people we support and for each other.

YMCA What is Sexual Exploitation (WiSE) is our child sexual exploitation project which works with children and young people across Sussex and Surrey. Our primary focus of work is supporting young people affected by exploitation through raising awareness, education and empowerment.

We have an exciting opportunity to join the WiSE team as a Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Practitioner. You will work alongside the Service Manager, Early Intervention Worker and two other practitioners, co‑located at Staines Police Station with the Exploitation Team. The role involves a significant amount of lone working with frequent travel across Surrey to see clients and attend meetings, with occasional travel further afield.

In delivering the role, you will involve carrying a caseload of young people aged 10‑25 who are vulnerable to sexual or criminal exploitation, providing intensive, client‑centred care and working closely with professionals across agencies.

Key responsibilities are:

• Manage a caseload of vulnerable young people and supporting them to stay safe and leave the influence of perpetrators
• Work with other professionals to deliver tailored care packages and provide consultation
• Maintain accurate case records and contributing to timely reports
• Liaise with Children’s Services, Surrey Police and other agencies to disrupt abuse and support prosecutions
• Deliver training and awareness‑raising workshops to professionals and foster carers
• Contribute to strategic development and deputising at relevant meetings

This is a challenging role where children and young people do not always identify the level of risk they are exposed to or the abusive nature of the relationships they are in. The support of victims can be distressing and emotionally demanding for the workers, consequently 1-to-1 clinical supervision, weekly team meetings and regular line management supervision of cases and wellbeing.

If you are enthusiastic about this opportunity but don’t meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. Your skills and experiences may be more transferable than you think, and you could be exactly the person we’re looking for.

Qualifications, experience and knowledge:

• Qualification in Youth Work/Social Work or equivalent, or comparable experience working with vulnerable young people
• Proven experience in safeguarding young children
• Experience providing casework support young people aged 10 to 25 years old
• Group work experience with young people
• Safeguarding children and young people at risk of serious harm
• Delivering and risk assessing outreach work with young people
• Knowledge of risks posed to vulnerable young people through sexual exploitation and harmful sexual behaviour
