Are you looking for a rewarding role within an intersectional feminist organisation?
We have an incredible opportunity for an IDVA (Global Majority Worker) to join Solace Women’s Aid.
Solace exists to end the harm done through gender-based violence. We work to prevent violence and abuse and provide services to meet the individual needs of survivors, particularly women and children.
Our core values reflect our history and were developed in consultation with staff and service users. Feminism and intersectionality are key to our work, and we are committed to the principles of being survivor-led, trauma-informed, empowering, diverse, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory.
About The Service
Solace Women’s Aid provides a wide range of services to victim/survivors of domestic and sexual abuse including a large advocacy and support service and specialist projects co-located in a number of services.
About The Role
You will provide support and advocacy to women aged 16 years + from the global majority who have suffered from domestic and/or sexual violence, racial inequality or oppression.
The postholder will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborate with external agencies, and engage in outreach with faith-based groups and churches to help ensure our service is accessible to women from this marginalised community.
You will also be required to support the duty line to meet service demands
About You
You will be highly organised, self-motivated and passionate about ending VAWG and safeguarding. Your can-do approach and clear commitment to Solace’s feminist approach to supporting women and their children to be safer will be essential to the success in this role. Ideally, you will have experience of working with survivors of domestic and/or sexual violence in a multi-agency setting, along with a good working knowledge of the criminal and civil justice systems. You will be able to provide emotional and practical support to victims of VAWG.
