We’re looking for a compassionate and dedicated Women's Community Worker to join our team at Angus Women’s Aid. In this role, you will provide essential support to women who are experiencing, or have experienced, domestic abuse.

Applicants should have a knowledge of domestic abuse and be committed to working with those who experience it, be enthusiastic, motivated, have excellent communication skills and be able to work collaboratively in a multi-agency environment, evidencing a respectful and inclusive approach. The use of a non-judgemental approach is essential, and you should be committed to working within the ethos of a feminist analysis of abuse.

Glasgow Women’s Aid provides information, support and temporary accommodation for women, children and young people experiencing domestic abuse. We have refuge accommodation, follow on services and outreach services both for women and children across Glasgow.

The purpose of this role is to provide therapeutic support to women experiencing domestic abuse, during their stay in refuge and as they move out into the community. This will involve providing innovative and creative 1-1 and group work support. You will provide person centred support to women as they move through their journey and will advocate to make sure that women’s voices are heard and their needs are met.

It is essential that you have experience of providing support to women who have experienced gender-based violence. A suitable qualification that meets with SSSC Housing Support registration is also required (examples would be HNC Social Services or SVQ Level 3 Social Services and Healthcare). The nature of our work requires a commitment to the feminist analysis of domestic abuse and to the values of Glasgow Women’s Aid. Due to the nature of the role it is essential that you have a driving license and access to a car.

We are looking for an individual with the passion and commitment to provide high-quality one-to-one and group support for women who have experienced, or are experiencing, domestic abuse.

You will join a dedicated team of Women, Family, Children and Young People Practitioners who bring a wealth of skills and experience to their roles and take pride in delivering timely, effective, and person-centred support to those who use our services.

If you have a strong commitment to this area of work; if you value integrity, compassion, and teamwork; if you want to work in an inclusive and supportive environment; and if you have a feminist understanding of domestic abuse and its causes and impacts, then this could be the next career opportunity for you.

We look forward to hearing from you.
