Are you looking for a rewarding role within an inter-sectional feminist organisation? If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you to join our team as a Multiple Disadvantage Refuge Worker.
We exist to end the harm done through gender-based violence. Our mission is to prevent violence and abuse, while providing services to meet the individual needs of survivors, particularly women and children. Our work is holistic and empowering, working alongside survivors to help them achieve independent lives, free from abuse.
Our core values, developed in consultation with staff and service users, are rooted in feminism and intersectionality. We are committed to being survivor-led, trauma-informed, empowering, diverse, anti-racist, and anti-discriminatory.
About the Service
The Multiple Disadvantage Refuge Worker role is dedicated to providing specialist support services to women living in refuge who have multiple needs, including those who have experienced domestic or sexual violence, mental illness, or problematic substance use. You will liaise with partner agencies to ensure that the services delivered are of the highest standard and align with our organisational aims and objectives.
About the Role
As a Multiple Disadvantage Refuge Worker, you will work with women residing in refuges across 7 Pan London boroughs. Your responsibilities will include devising support plans that address their immediate practical and emotional needs and initiating the recovery process. You will connect women with more specialist support services as required. The role involves conducting risk assessments, creating safety plans, and identifying support needs such as accessing benefits, budgeting, and exploring resettlement pathways from the refuge. You will also promote social inclusion, encourage independence, and foster the development of personal resilience. Building a support network for women and promoting engagement with other services is a key aspect of this role.
About You
We are looking for someone with relevant experience in providing specialist support services to women and families with multiple needs. You should have casework experience in offering proactive and emotional support to women who have experienced domestic abuse, aiding them in their recovery and rebuilding their lives. Experience in multi-agency working and maintaining a professional manner is also essential.
We understand that you may not possess all the knowledge, experience, and skills listed in the Job Profile Document. However, your interpersonal skills, passion for making a positive impact, commitment to our purpose, and ability to learn quickly and collaborate effectively are equally important. If you are interested in learning more about the role or are unsure whether to apply, we encourage you to contact our recruitment team.
How to Apply
If you are passionate about supporting survivors of gender-based violence and meet the requirements outlined above, we would love to hear from you. Please Contact for more information or to apply for the position.
