We are now seeking two experienced and dynamic Advice Hub Caseworkers to join our highly successful Advice Hub Service and team.

As an Advice Hub Caseworker you will provide one-off, practical support and advice for women and girls who have experienced any form of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). You will provide one-off advice, information and support over the phone and via web-chat linking survivors with support that is right for them. You will also provide one-off consultation and advice to professionals working with cases involving VAWG.

The Advice team work from a woman-centred, trauma informed and survivor led integrated approach, ensuring individualised support that is rooted in empowerment and best practice. The work is delivered through a commitment to an anti-oppressive, feminist framework that strives to address additional barriers and meet the diverse range of survivors needs, understanding the specific support needs of each survivor. We are passionate about social justice and being part of dismantling systems and structures which oppress survivors. These posts play a key part in helping us identify current issues affecting survivors in London and opportunities for change.

The ideal candidates will be experienced in providing support, have an excellent insight into the needs of survivors of VAWG and be innovative. This is a unique opportunity to join one of the leading specialist VAWG organisations within the women's sector, and to play a pivotal role in the development and delivery of a service which improves responses, access and support to survivors in London. If you have the skills and experience required, then we would love to hear from you.
