About the Service – Door of Hope (East London)
The Door of Hope Service provides support to women who sell sex in Tower Hamlets. This includes journeying alongside women, whilst providing advocacy, information, emotional and practical support. The service also has a strong team of around 15 volunteers, who deliver street outreach to women in Tower Hamlets on a Thursday morning and Friday night.
About the Role
Beyond the Streets is a UK charity with over 20 years’ experience of partnering with women in the sex industry, to see them safe from coercion, violence and abuse. We deliver trauma-informed, person-centred support, provide training, and create resources and reports informed by research, lived experience, and practitioner experience.
Our psychotherapy service for women who sell sex in Tower Hamlets, was borne from the recognition that many of these women would benefit from this style of support, when mainstream offers were not feasible or appropriate or women were denied access because of the multiple disadvantages they were experiencing. In the 18 months since the support has been provided, the positive impact on women and the psychological and behavioural change it has evoked, has been testament to the necessity in providing this service.
Based at our offices in Tower Hamlets, your role will be to provide women-centred, psychotherapeutic support for women with complex needs, either in- person, online and on the telephone. You will, on occasion, be required to meet a woman in a local café, hostel or elsewhere in the community, to start forming relationships and trust, as well as small brief, interventions.

You will work closely with our Door of Hope team, to manage risk around women, and to support her accessing appropriate support services in the Borough.
Within this role, we are seeking someone who is non-judgemental, compassionate and can see the strengths that each individual woman brings. You will be able to work in a gender and trauma-informed way and will have a good awareness of the need and role of safeguarding policies and procedures. You will have experience of working with complex trauma, individuals who experience multiple disadvantage and be familiar with working in a multi-disciplinary manner to manage risks around women. You will have a passion for supporting women and want to be part of increasing our positive reach and impact.
You’ll enjoy…
- Competitive pay
- Enhanced work experience and knowledge of women involved in the sex industry, whilst working alongside a specialist team and organisation
- Free training from Beyond the Streets around women involved in the sex industry
You’ll need…
- Relevant professional qualifications
- Understanding of the complexities of working with women who have multiple disadvantages and the barriers to service access they face
- Experience of working within a multi-disciplinary framework
- Experienced with working with and engaging with diverse groups of people from varying backgrounds
- Familiarity with working within Adult Safeguarding protocols and procedures
- A non-judgemental and women-centred approach to support

We are looking for a Family Support Manager who is passionate about making a real difference for families of children and young people with disabilities. This is an opportunity to lead a dedicated team, expand our support services, and make sure that no child or young person is left without the vital care they need due to a lack of resources or support.
You will have the chance to bring fresh ideas, develop new ways of working, and strengthen our support pathways. This role is your opportunity to make a lasting impact, not just by delivering exceptional support, but by building a service that continues to grow and improve as part of our ‘Bridging the Gap’ strategy.
This is a home-based role, and you can be based anywhere in the UK, with travel (paid for) to our Head Office in Kent at least once a month and occasionally to other areas of the UK as required.
About Tree of Hope: ‘Bridging The Gap’ in Children and Young People’s Healthcare
Tree of Hope is a UK children and young people’s healthcare charity dedicated to helping families secure the funding and support they need for their seriously ill and disabled children. Since 1992, we have been a vital source of guidance and assistance for families, empowering them to access medical treatments, therapies, and equipment that are not freely available through the NHS or social care.
In October 2024, Tree of Hope launched our new three-year strategy, ‘Bridging the Gap’, to tackle the growing challenges families face in accessing the care their disabled children need. With over 1 million children in the UK living with disabilities and 40% of families with disabled children living in poverty, the need for support has never been greater. Far too many families are falling through the cracks.
‘Bridging the Gap’ is our commitment to tackling this. Our strategy is focused on expanding our reach, improving access to funding, and building stronger community networks so that more families can secure the vital treatments and support they need sooner. We are determined to make sure that no family is left behind.
Why Join Us
At Tree of Hope, we believe that every family should have equal access to the healthcare they need. To make that happen, we have built a team that is guided by our values of Respect, Dedication, Integrity, Compassion, and Collaboration. These values shape everything we do, from how we support families to how we work together as a team.
We believe that great work should be celebrated. Through our Kudos platform, team members recognise and appreciate each other's contributions every day. Our Annual Staff Awards go even further, shining a light on everyone’s contribution over the year. We also make time to connect and reflect with regular team meetings, socials, and two Away Days each year, opportunities to share ideas, strengthen relationships, and plan for the future.
Your wellbeing matters to us. We are committed to creating a supportive and caring work environment. That is why we actively use Wellness Action Plans, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Healthcare Plan through the Hospital Saturday Fund. We also invest in your growth, offering a training and development budget to help you thrive and develop in your role.
At Tree of Hope, you will be part of a team that genuinely cares, celebrates success, and works together to make sure that no child or young person is left without the support they need.
Whether you have experience in family support, health and social care, disability services, or a related field, we welcome applications from those committed to making a difference.
