Role:

We are recruiting for a children’s support worker who will be working closely with children and their mothers who are living in our refuges having escaped domestic and other forms of violence and abuse. The candidate will provide personal welfare support and ensure that our clients are nurtured with a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment.

For us it is important that you are passionate, committed and care about the work Refuge undertakes. Not all roles require previous experience in the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) sector. You may be able to bring relevant experience from another industry or transferable skills from a different type of role or volunteering/community experience. For us, a role description is a useful guide, but please don’t discount yourself if you feel you don’t meet all the criteria and believe you have the potential. Above all we value individuals who are committed to working hard in an inclusive environment and want to make a positive difference to the communities we support

A key requirement is to provide personal one to one and group support to children and young people in a trauma informed and responsive manner. The post holder will support children who have witnessed or experienced domestic violence and plan and provide stimulating, safe, and appropriate activities.
