NHS Jobs is seeking an Adult & Paediatric Crisis Worker for The Glade SARC locations in Bransford and Telford. The role involves supporting adults, children and families in a Sexual Assault Referral Centre, delivering compassionate care while maintaining professional boundaries.
You will assist with practical and emotional aspects, explain processes and advocate for patient needs. We value resilience, empathy and strong teamwork as part of a 24/7 service.
Could you be a calm presence when someone needs it most? An Adult & Paediatric Crisis Worker isn't simply there to manage a process. You're there for the person going through it. You'll support adults, children and families attending a Sexual Assault Referral Centre, often at an incredibly difficult and vulnerable time. From the moment someone contacts the service, you'll help create a safe, calm and supportive environment. You'll explain what happens next, advocate for their needs and choices, and support them through the practical and emotional aspects of attending the SARC, including where appropriate their forensic medical examination. You'll need empathy, but you'll also need resilience. Warmth, but also professional boundaries. The ability to listen, while still ensuring important procedures and records are completed accurately. It is that combination that makes a great Crisis Worker. You could be a strong fit if you have experience in administration, social care, healthcare, safeguarding or support work and you're comfortable supporting people in challenging situations. The existing advert specifically identifies those backgrounds as relevant.

Current shift patterns are 9am-5pm, 5pm-1am and 1am-9am. You don't need to arrive knowing everything about working in a SARC.
