The Salvation Army is passionate about supporting people who have been affected by modern slavery and establishing practical support at a local corps (church) and community level.
This role offers an exciting opportunity to come alongside survivors of modern slavery who have transitioned out of crisis and are moving forward in establishing life based in Manchester.
The Salvation Army is growing a network of community-based support, which provides survivors of modern slavery with a link to their local community and signposting to the range of available support they may need.
This mid-week session will be 3-4 hours and gives survivors continuity of support as they are served in a group setting at the corps (church)/centre in a drop-in style format that will follow a formal programme to accommodate clients' needs.

Role Details
The Salvation Army is passionate about supporting people who have been affected by modern day slavery and establishing practical support on a local corps and community level.
This role is an exciting opportunity with The Salvation Army partnering with Nottingham City Council in their new pilot scheme to support victims of modern-day slavery. The Nottingham City Council pilot (March 2017-March 2018) aims to support 34 clients across the year and The Salvation Army is looking for volunteers to enable community-mentoring for these clients as they establish life in Nottingham.
This structured mentor relationship will be established within a group of three (a 'trio') with 2 mentors assigned to every individual survivor. The 2 mentors come alongside an individual to help them achieve their goal over the period of a year. This would include regular meet-ups and working with them to give them tools to navigate a pathway to help them achieve their goal.
Mentors will help to model healthy community within a structured relationship alongside modelling how to establish goals, giving practical assistance (attending appointments, navigating transport, etc.) and helping to celebrate successes and process any set-backs.
All mentors will be given specialized mentor training and regular support from The Salvation Army's Modern Slavery Hub team.
Please note: This role is in partnership with the City Council and clients will come directly from their pilot programme. With the nature of the programme being in pilot phase we want to make you aware that after the training there may be a waiting period to pair clients and a small chance that low client numbers could result in volunteers not being paired. Whilst we hope this will not be the case, The Salvation Army is looking to use all volunteer experiences to help shape a new survivor support program in Nottingham and learning from this role will help develop further opportunities which will be communicated to volunteers as they are developed.
