Seeking Safety Peer Worker

Part Time 1 day a week (7 hours) Dublin Based

Applications are now invited for the above position.

Ruhama is an Irish NGO and registered charity that offers nationwide support to women impacted by prostitution and human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Founded in 1989, our organisation has extensive expertise in providing a wide range of specialist, holistic support services. Our services are free, confidential, and delivered by a committed and experienced team. Ruhama also advocates to influence policy that supports and protects women.

The Seeking Safety Ireland project has been supported by the Department of Health. The commitment is to develop and implement a cross sectoral, interagency Irish adaptation of the Seeking Safety model to support hard to reach people who experience both mental health and substance use issues, paying particular attention to those experiencing domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

Seeking Safety works from the premise that people who have the dual diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Substance Use are more likely to engage in less safe drug and alcohol using activities and veer towards poly drug use.

The Seeking Safety Peer Worker will help in the delivery of the Seeking Safety programme with the Seeking Safety Project Worker. The Peer Worker will be trained in Seeking Safety and so will not need to know about how to run a Seeking Safety programme to apply for this post. You do, however, need to be an experienced Peer Worker who is consistent in their approach and displays a level of self-reflectiveness.
