Wycombe Women’s Aid is a well-established and well-respected charity which exists to provide independent, high-quality specialist services to women and children experiencing the effects of domestic violence. Our vision is of a world where women and children live their lives free from domestic and sexual violence. We are a women-only organisation, working from a feminist perspective and committed to empowerment and self-help. We listen to women and children and believe in women’s power to take back control of their lives.

About the Service

The refuge service offers emergency, temporary and safe accommodation for women outside of Buckinghamshire who are escaping domestic violence. The service provides emotional and practical support to women, enabling them to heal from their experiences of domestic violence and take back control of their lives.

About the Role

We are seeking a Refuge Support Worker to join the committed and passionate team. The successful applicant will work with women in the refuge, recognising and responding to their emotional and practical needs through one to one sessions, group work, working closely with other agencies and advocating on the woman’s behalf.

About You

You will have a passion for working within the domestic violence sector and a commitment to working from a trauma informed, feminist perspective, which underpins all of our work. You will have the ability to build rapport and work effectively with others and the skills to listen to and support women and deliver group work. You will also be able to drive and have your own vehicle.

We particularly welcome applicants from Black and minoritised women as these are currently under-represented within our staff team.

In return, we offer a supportive, flexible and values led organisation, a focus on learning and self-development, comprehensive well-being support and the opportunity to work with a team of committed and inspiring women.
