Do you want to make a difference to the lives of young female survivors of sexual abuse? Could you help them develop the skills needed to cope with what has happened to them and build an independent life and positive future?

Are you passionate about the eradication of Men’s Violence against Women and Girls and women's homelessness from a feminist perspective?

As SAY Women’s dedicated Criminal Justice Support Worker, you will be able to do this for the young women in our service.

We are building a dedicated service to young women survivors of sexual abuse who are in, or at risk of entering, the Criminal Justice Service (CJS). Our services are all gender-specific and trauma-informed but not currently CJS-related. As our specialist Support Worker, your knowledge and experience of operating within the CJS, or your lived experience of the CJS, will allow us to support our young women in a more focused way. Using your extensive experience of trauma-informed, person-centred support and work with survivors of sexual abuse, you will provide holistic support to these young women, and be involved in developing this dedicated service.

When you join SAY Women, you join a community providing a warm and welcoming environment for all of our staff and young women. Our values run through every aspect of our attitude, approach and service provision, empowering our young women and staff with Courage, Compassion and Connection.

In return for your passion and dedication, we provide great opportunities for your personal training and development as well as a generous pension package and annual leave allowance.
