We are delighted to announce that Glasgow Women’s Aid is launching a new family court advocacy service for women and children who have been affected by domestic abuse.

Thanks to funding from the national lottery community fund, we will have a dedicated worker for both women and their children who have been impacted by domestic abuse and are involved in civil family court processes such as court ordered contact. This new service will build on the support that we already offer to women and children.

Are you passionate about women’s rights and supporting survivors of domestic abuse? Do you have experience of working with women who have experienced trauma? We are looking for a Women’s Family Court Advocacy Worker to join our team and provide vital support to women navigating the family court process as a result of domestic abuse.

You will provide trauma-informed, one-to-one advocacy and practical support to women involved in the family court system. You will support women to understand the court process, their rights and options, and assist with safety planning and risk assessment. In addition to individual support, you will facilitate group work programmes for women, creating a safe space for peer support and connection to enhance wellbeing. You will liaise with solicitors, court professionals and partner agencies to ensure women’s voices are heard and their experiences are recognised. You will refer and signpost women to other appropriate services where required to better support their wider needs as a whole.

As part of the role, you will be required to participate within our Crisis Support and work out of hours to support.

It is essential that you have experience of providing support to women who have experienced gender-based violence. A suitable qualification such as HNC Social Services or SVQ Level 3 Social Services and Healthcare is essential or a degree or post graduate qualification in a relevant field. You will have a willingness to work towards a qualification in relation to advocacy. 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.

Fife Women’s Aid are looking for an additional full-time member of staff to increase the capacity of our existing MARAC team, working with women experiencing domestic abuse who are at high levels of risk.

If you want to help make a difference in the lives of women, children and young people with experience of domestic abuse, have direct experience of providing one to one person-centred support, an understanding of the causes and impacts of domestic abuse along with good interpersonal skills then you may be the person we are looking for. Applicants will have at least 2 years’ experience of working in a support or advocacy role. The MARAC team is a small supportive team with a wealth of experience to share with new workers. Training will also be provided for the successful candidates.

The successful applicant(s) will have at least SVQ Level III or equivalent level of qualification in social care or other relevant subject, or equivalent experience and willingness to work towards a qualification.

Please join us for an online session to find out more about FWA MARAC service. This will be at 6.30pm on Tuesday 5th May 2026. Please confirm your attendance to info@fifewomensaid.org.uk and we will send you details of the zoom meeting. We hope to see you there.
