Solace Women’s Aid is an innovative, exciting, grassroots charity working across London. Our purpose is to bring to an end the harm done through domestic and sexual violence to all survivors, particularly women and children. Our work is holistic and empowering, working alongside survivors to achieve independent lives free from abuse.

You will be joining a team of committed and inspiring individuals whose dedication has saved the lives of thousands of women, men, and children. We are looking for friendly and diligent individuals to join our services and help us make a difference.

Solace Women’s Aid provides a wide range of services to victim/survivors of domestic and sexual abuse in Islington, including a large advocacy and support service and specialist projects co-located in a number of services.

We are seeking a Global Majority Worker to provide support and advocacy to women aged 16 years and over from the global majority who have suffered domestic and/or sexual violence, racial inequality, or oppression. You will be working as part of a multidisciplinary team and collaborating with external agencies, completing outreach with faith-based groups and churches to ensure our service is accessible for this marginalised group of women. In this role, you will work as part of the Bexley Solace Advocacy and Support Service (SASS), providing support to high-risk survivors of domestic abuse in the borough. Additionally, you will work in partnership with local agencies to provide the best support for our service users.

We are looking for highly organised and self-motivated applicants who are passionate about ending VAWG and safeguarding. You will have a “can-do” approach and demonstrable commitment to Solace’s feminist approach to supporting women and their children to be safer. You will receive training and support for this role as necessary. Ideal candidates will have demonstrable experience of working with victims of domestic and/or sexual violence in a multi-agency setting and a working knowledge of the criminal and civil justice systems. Successful applicants will have in-depth knowledge of domestic abuse and its impact on women and children, along with substantial experience in providing emotional and practical support to victims of VAWG. A relevant qualification in VAWG or significant experience is desirable but not essential.

In return, we offer great employee benefits including a three per cent employer pension contribution, generous holiday entitlement, and a focus on learning and development. Solace Women’s Aid values diversity, promotes equality, and challenges discrimination. We encourage and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. Solace is a Disability Confident employer.

This service is run by women for women and is therefore restricted to women applicants under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, and Part 1, Section 7(2) e of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. An enhanced DBS (Disclosure Barring Service) disclosure will be required for this role.

We request no contact from recruitment agencies.
