About Us
Primrose provides safe, single-gender accommodation for women experiencing homelessness. We currently support nine women across two dedicated community properties, offering tailored accommodation and specialist support.

You will provide high-quality, person-centred support to women with multiple and complex needs, including mental health challenges, substance misuse, and experiences of trauma.

- Promote safety, wellbeing, and risk management at all times
