Women and Family Team Lead

Join our team as we embark on a new partnership with Via, the primary provider of Drug and Alcohol services across Gloucestershire, offering substance misuse support and interventions. We're looking for passionate individuals dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of those struggling with substance misuse and their families.

The service will be embedded within the established Gloucester Women's Centre, providing a safe, secure and nurturing environment for women and families. The Nelson Trust offers a safe space and one stop shop for women to access women's support, family support and aftercare, and to engage in therapeutic and psychoeducational groups.

The Nelson Trust is seeking a compassionate and skilled individual to lead our Women and Family team within the Gloucester Women's Centre. In this role, you will ensure the delivery of gender-responsive, trauma-informed holistic support to women and families with substance misuse and multiple unmet needs, intercepting the intergenerational cycle of trauma, abuse, neglect, substance misuse, and offending.

As the Women and Family Team Lead, you will provide leadership, guidance, and supervision to a team, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment. You will oversee service delivery, effective case management, and development initiatives to empower women and families in reaching their full potential while minimizing social harms and re-offending.

If you are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of women and families and excited about being part of a new drug and alcohol recovery service in Gloucestershire, apply now to join the Nelson Trust. Together, we can support families to overcome challenges, build resilience and thrive.

Due to the nature of the work carried out in our Women's Centres this role is restricted to female applicants only in accordance with the provisions of the occupational requirement (Equality Act 2010, pursuant to Schedule 9, Part 1).

We have become known for the quality of our work and ability to provide bespoke care and support services. While we are proud of our achievements so far, we are ambitious and want to continue to grow and diversify our workforce.
