- Part time
- £26,845 pro-rata
- On site: Glasgow
- Closing 3rd September 2026
- Advertised from 21st August 2026
- Hours: 21 a week (0.6 FTE) Salary: £16,107. Temporary (12 Months) (Maternity Cover)
Role
Do you want to make a difference to the lives of young women who’ve experienced CSA, exploitation and other forms of sexual violence? Could you help them develop the skills needed to cope with what has happened to them, to help them build an independent life and a positive future?
As a Trauma Informed Education (TIE) worker delivering psycho-education group sessions for SAY Women, you will be working within a trauma-informed and feminist framework to provide this for the young women we support. You will join a reflective and caring community, working together to create an active, warm and welcoming environment for all our staff and young women.
We are a small, committed organisation with a strong and supportive team that is continuing to grow. We are looking for a solution-focused, creative and dynamic individual who can build strong relationships with vulnerable young women and develop and deliver group work programmes and experiences that meet their needs.
The role will involve delivering groups both face-to-face and online, depending on the needs of the young women and the circumstances at the time.
Through new funding, our group work has expanded into community settings. The successful candidate will therefore need to be flexible and confident in working in a variety of community spaces, as well as at our office and support hub in central Glasgow. The role will also involve networking, building partnerships, promoting groups both in person and through social media, and developing new opportunities for young women to access our services.
You can find out more about SAY Women, our work and the difference we make for young women through our website and social media channels.
What We Offer

- Funded clinical supervision appropriate to the role.
