Black Country Women's Aid

Let us introduce ourselves…

Black Country Women's Aid (BCWA) is an established charity working across the Black Country and wider West Midlands providing accommodation and community support services to victims of domestic abuse, sexual abuse and human trafficking. Services range from advocacy, civil remedies, support in court, individual and group support and access to a range of therapeutic interventions. All services are client and needs-led.

Centre for the Analysis of Exploitation (CeAnEx)

The Research and Engagement Officer will join CeAnEx, and its highly regarded Community Engagement Project, run by Black Country Women's Aid. The Centre, based within BCWA, conducts innovative work to identify and support women who are sexually exploited in the West Midlands. We are a small, passionate team working on the ground in communities, and we combine this with open-source intelligence and traditional academic research methods to identify victims of organised crime. Although we are an independent charity, we work closely with law enforcement and partner agencies. Our work is at the cutting edge, helping to develop new perspectives on human trafficking and sexual exploitation in the UK and beyond.

Job Role

Job Title: Research and Engagement Officer (Maternity cover October 2024- October 2025)
Position available: 1 full-time position (37.5 hours)
Salary: £29,569
Closing date: 4th October 2024
Interview date: Interviews will be held week commencing 7th October 2024
Interviews will be held in person

Is this you?

We are looking for a candidate with experience of research and analysis.

An understanding of sex work, sexual exploitation and modern slavery is desirable, as is experience of working with vulnerable people.

The Role:

This is a unique, exciting and rewarding role, allowing the successful candidate to make a significant contribution to tackling exploitation. The role provides the opportunity to combine desk-based research on sexual exploitation with face-to-face work with victims and survivors. You will be involved in a variety of activities, including (but not limited to):

* Visits to sex work locations throughout the West Midlands and, occasionally, elsewhere in the UK
* Support for victims
* Joint working with police and partner agencies
* Analysis of open-source intelligence
* Data collection and analysis
* Involvement in BCWA's FCDO-funded Romania Project, aimed at tackling the trafficking of women from Romania to the UK
* Involvement in BCWA's projects involving Chinese, Hungarian, British, Albanian, Thai and Brazilian women
