Imagine finishing your day knowing that everything you have done – and will be doing – is making a positive impact on someone's life. This role is vital in keeping families and individuals in refuge safe and secure. You will also support people in the community as the first point of contact on our 24-hours helpline. In becoming a Relief Worker with LWA you will be joining a committed team making a real difference. Comprehensive training will be provided to prepare you for this rewarding role.

We are looking for Relief Workers to cover a variety of shifts, including days, nights and weekends, across our refuges and main office. The successful candidate will help maintain safe and secure refuge accommodation, answer the 24-hours helpline, and respond to individuals and families in our services.
You will need:
- An understanding of Domestic Abuse and associated risk and safety issues
- The ability to manage stressful and challenging situations
- Values consistent with those of LWA and a commitment to diversity and inclusion
Contract Expectations:
To remain active, informed and aligned with service needs, Relief Workers are expected to:
- Complete a minimum of two shifts per month
- Cover a minimum of one-night shift per month, with preferences considered
- Participate in ongoing professional development, including attendance at scheduled training sessions
The closing date is 9.00 am on Thursday 27th November 2025; interviews will be held on 08th December 2025.
Successful applicants will complete four full days of structured training 19/01 - 22/01, 09:00 - 17:00 each day. This training will follow a series of shadowing shifts across different sites of our service.
LWA is fully committed to the principles of equality of opportunity and applications are welcome from all sections of the community. LWA is a diverse and inclusive organisation, however we would particularly welcome applications from women from Black, Asian or Minoritized Ethnic communities, who are currently underrepresented at senior levels.
LWA is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk and expects all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS disclosure will be required before taking up this position.
