Crawley, United Kingdom Hersana CIC Full time

**ABOUT US**

HERSANA CIC is the first and leading Gender-based Violence Support Service providing advice, support and advocacy to Black women and girls [femmes] who have experienced any form of gender-based violence. We were founded in 2016, and have been championing the needs and safety of Black femmes ever since.

HERSANA works directly with thousands of Black femmes who have experienced abuse and violence. We specialise in domestic abuse, sexual violence, female genital mutilation, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse and forced marriage. We are a service run by Black women, for Black women, and with Black women in mind and at the forefront.

We have been working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms whilst providing wholistic support to Black femme survivors by providing advocacy services nationally for Black femmes who need longer-term support. We provide free long-term counselling, as well as short-term emotional and practical support. As a leading expert on violence against women and girls, HERSANA provides accredited and tailored training to a wide range of statutory professionals and workshops to young people and community groups.

We use what we learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work for national and local policy change to improve outcomes for Black femme victims and survivors of abuse and violence. We build evidence through key pieces of research. We push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and better understanding of the needs of Black femmes around the country.

**Our mission** is to create wholistic, gender-specialist, culturally specific and trauma-informed safe spaces for Black women and girls affected by or at risk of gender-based violence across England, as well as campaign to eradicate violence against women and girls in all its forms. We aim to centre Black femmes in every narrative and to provide these services in a safe and Black femme only environment.

**We believe** that safe spaces like our own can provide a sanctuary from the world of facades, a sacred space where we, Black femmes, can be ourselves, as we are. This kind of unmasking - speaking our truth, sharing our inner struggles, and revealing our raw edges - is sacred activity.

**_
Safe spaces designed by us, for you and with you in mind and at the forefront._**

**BEING AN OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT OFFICER AT HERSANA**

As an Outreach & Engagement Officer, covering the dedicated region, you will provide a range of specialist advice, guidance, advocacy, and support to our Black femme beneficiaries.

You will be responsible for supporting Black femmes who are at risk of or experiencing any type of gender-based abuse and violence as well as manage a client caseload and provide ongoing support to beneficiaries to find practical and long-lasting ways to achieve their potential, lead more fulfilling lives and take responsibility for their future. Additionally, you will engage organisations and upskill professionals that work with women and girls on the topic of Harmful Practices (HP) and Gender-based Violence (GBV). You will find creative ways of engaging Black femmes who have experienced or are at risk of experiencing HPs and support them in accessing long-term specialist services.

You will be highly organised, self-motivated, and passionate about ending gender-based violence and creating safe spaces for survivors. You will have a "can-do" approach and demonstrable commitment to HERSANA's feminist approach to supporting Black women and girls to be safer.

You will receive training and support for this role, as necessary.

**HOW TO APPLY**
