Hemat Gryffe Women’s Aid supports women, children and young people experiencing domestic abuse, forced marriage and honour-based abuse primarily from the Asian, Black and Minority Ethnic community. We provide refuge accommodation, follow on and outreach services for women and children.

We have a vacant post for a women’s worker to support women experiencing domestic abuse or who have experienced domestic abuse. It is essential that you have knowledge and understanding of the impact of domestic abuse upon women.

A suitable qualification that meets the needs of the Scottish Social Servies Council (SSSC) housing support registration is required otherwise training will be provided to allow you to achieve this qualification.

We are looking for a youth worker who will support young people to reach their full potential through sports and physical activity.

Hot Chocolate Trust is an innovative and inclusive youth work charity in Dundee city centre.

Engaging with approx. 400 YP each year, aged 12-25, we blend responsive, whole-person youth work with specialist resourcing and opportunities (e.g. creative arts, mental health and wellbeing, education and employment, activism) to maximize YP’s participation, agency, and responsibility. Flexible, relationship-based approaches support YP whose lives are unpredictable, even chaotic, and who are often wary of professionals and programmes.

The successful candidate will lead our Stretch project which uses youth work approaches to reinterpret and promote sports and physical activity with YP.

Too many YP miss out on the multiple benefits of regular physical activity. Some tell us they were put off at school (e.g. by narrow expectations, competitive/bullying culture); some feel excluded culturally (e.g. by gender, identity, or “not sporty”); some can’t afford it; some have nowhere to safely (or with dignity) try things out. You will work across three project strands (Inclusive sports; Mental heath and wellbeing; Games get real) through drop-in youth work, small groups, and individual support.

The post is full-time, with a two-year contract, at a salary between £26,162 and £27,398 pa (subject to qualifications/evidenced experience and training). You will find a fuller description of terms and benefits in the person specification.
