MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH COPE GALWAY?S HOMELESS SERVICES TEAM
OUR VALUES, OUR WORK, OUR PEOPLE
COPE GALWAY is a charity that has been providing social services in
Galway since the **Apply on the website**s. Our homeless services
offer people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness a range of
residential and non-residential supports. Our team works tirelessly to
find individualised creative solutions. Ours is a learning
organisation where we seek to innovate in line with evidence based
best practise. We embrace strengths based approaches, harm reduction,
trauma informed care and rights based service provision.
OUR VISION is a community where every person is valued, cared for, and
supported at every stage of life. We work to achieve this by providing
essential supports for people at challenging times in their lives, and
by advocating for systemic change to remove the root causes of
inequity and disadvantage that constrain the wellbeing and development
of individuals, families and communities.
OUR MISSION is to make a difference by empowering people, creating
change and strengthening communities. We understand, respect and
respond to the needs of our clients who are always at the forefront of
our work.
OUR TEAM is supported by regular support and supervision and access to
our Employee Assistance Programme. Our people receive a wide variety
of on-the-job training, with core training including Trauma Informed
Care, First Aid, MAPA (Management of Actual and Potential Aggression),
Overdose Response and Naloxone Administration and additional trainings
including Values Workshops, Diversity Workshops, Motivational
Interviewing and Harm Reduction Workshops.
BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES include a pension scheme and a supplemental
training fund to which individuals can apply annually to assist them
in their studies and their continuous professional development.
Working on our front-line can act as a springboard for a range of
exciting career opportunities with COPE Galway both within our
homeless services and our wider organisation, including Domestic Abuse
Services, Older People?s Services and other organisational posts.
