London, United Kingdom Women at the Well Remote Work Freelance Full time

Women at the Well is a support service for women based in the King’s Cross area of central London. We provide practical support and advocacy to women facing a wide range of disadvantages, and we have a specialism in working with women whose lives have been affected by prostitution and/or sexual exploitation.

We run three inter-related services: (1) a women only drop-in service, where food, laundry, showers and gentle activities are available without any pressure to undertake anything else; (2) an advocacy service from our King’s Cross hub where assigned key workers support women to access their entitlements and more; and (3) an outreach service where we visit areas of London where women are rough sleeping as well as hostels and other settings. In everything we do we are trauma informed, holistic and woman-centred. We take referrals from many external partners and while we have a hub-centre in Kings Cross we are a pan-London service.

We are currently recruiting for two roles in our small and friendly support worker team doing vital and life-saving work with very marginalised women. We are seeking: an Outreach Support Worker (works shifts in the community, with some time spent at King’s Cross hub); and an Inhouse Support Worker(based at our King’s Cross hub), both on 9 months contracts with a possibility of extension.

There are separate job descriptions for each role, but applicants may fill in one application form and indicate at the top whether they wish to be considered for one of the posts only or for both of them.

These posts are currently vacant and we are considering applications on a rolling basis. We will begin interviews from Monday 12 August, and therefore these vacancies could close before the advertised closing date of Wednesday 11 September. If you are interested in either or both roles, please apply as soon as possible, even if you need to arrange a later potential interview date.

Women at the Well aims above all else to be responsive to the needs of the women who use our service, and we believe the best way of doing this is by building a specialist team of committed workers who want to make a difference to the lives of other women. We are looking for team members with knowledge and understanding of how women affected by childhood trauma, social exclusion, racism, disability, poor health, and other disadvantages are more likely to become marginalised and to be at risk of sexual exploitation and prostitution. We value lived experience as well as paid work experience and qualifications.

We are interested to meet and employ those who can demonstrate empathy with the women we are here for, and who have the aptitude for this work, even if you do not have the usual levels of paid experience. If you have a strong commitment to this work and to our values, but are not sure that your profile fits in a ‘traditional’ way, please do consider making an application, or get in touch to discuss your background and we will try to advise you on what the job entails and whether you might be a good candidate.
