You will provide support to the women to manage any potential risks that they are exposed to and provide the one-to-one support they need in relation to any other aspect of their lives that they need help with.

You will collaborate with the wider team to ensure that you are always up-to-date on the women’s needs and progress, to ensure a consistent approach and network of support for each woman and child at Hope Street.

This post is restricted to women due to the nature of the role.

The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.

A requirement of this role will be to have a driving licence, access to your own vehicle and hold business car insurance.

Who we are

One Small Thing was founded in 2014 by prison philanthropist Lady Edwina Grosvenor, in response to the unacceptable levels of suicide, self-harm and violence within women’s prisons in England, with the aim of achieving wholesale system change across the justice system, one small thing at a time.

Our name reflects the value of those small things – empathy, compassion, respect – and their combined power to make a big difference to the individual - and to society as a whole.

Hope Street is an exciting, brand-new, purpose-built residential community-based service, designed in collaboration with women, for justice-involved women and their children in Hampshire.

Trauma informed by design, it will offer a safe and supportive environment where women and their children can access education, practical and therapeutic support and activities that build confidence, self-esteem and skills, and provide the opportunity to build a fulfilling and happy life and play a meaningful role within society.
