The Survivor Support Caseworker will play a key role in delivering the Survivors Integrated Service and its mission to provide and open door, trauma informed support service to former residents and survivors of Irish institutions.
This role will provide individual emotional and practical support, advocacy, information and guidance, helping survivors navigate complex life circumstances and access appropriate services and opportunities. The role will be delivered both from the London Irish Centre and through outreach appointments within the community, ensuring support is accessible to the needs of survivors.

This is a highly rewarding role requiring sensitivity, empathy and confidence in working with survivors who may have experienced significant trauma.
