Are you looking for a rewarding role working for an intersectional feminist organisation? If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you to join our team as Duty Caseworker at Solace Women's Aid.

We exist to end the harm done through gender-based violence. Our aim is to work to prevent violence and abuse, as well as providing services to meet the individual needs of survivors, particularly women and children. Our work is holistic and empowering, working alongside survivors to achieve independent lives, free from abuse.

Our core values reflect our history and were developed in consultation with staff and service users. Feminism and intersectionality are key to our work and we are committed to the principles of being survivor-led, trauma-informed, empowering, diverse, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory.

**About the Service**

Islington Solace Advocacy and Support Service (SASS) is a team made up of IDVAs, caseworkers and IRIS workers. We work with all levels of risk and work closely with our partner agencies to ensure victims/survivors of domestic violence receive a good standard of service.

As the duty caseworker you will be responsible for processing new referrals, undertaking assessments with survivors of abuse and providing ongoing support to a small caseload of standard to medium risk survivors.

**About You**

You will have some knowledge of housing, welfare and policy relating to domestic/sexual violence, as well as excellent administrative and time management skills; including multi-tasking and using excel.

You will also have the ability to effectively manage a busy caseload.

You will have a good understanding of the causes and dynamics of domestic and sexual abuse, including its impact on victims/survivors,. A flexible approach to your work and a commitment to the values of Solace Women’s Aid is essential.

**What we can offer you**

We provide a comprehensive benefits package to all our employees, including:

- Flexible working
- Focus on learning and development (internal career progression and training)
