• Work alongside the CREW Co-ordinator to run events which foster connection within our CREW network, such as a monthly coffee morning
• Support in the facilitation of in-person sessions whether CREW or part of the Programme delivery.

• Other duties which may arise under the implementation of the new strategy, as directed by the Head of Employability Programme. 

About You 

This role would suit someone who is passionate about supporting others and empowering them to take the next steps in their journey. 

You may have prior experience as a teacher, caseworker or charity coordinator. 

We are looking for a team member who is organised, efficient, reliable, empathetic and ready to get stuck in helping across our range of survivor services. 

We welcome applications from individuals with a range of skills and experience drawn from their professional and personal lives, including those who may have lived experience of modern slavery, human trafficking and exploitation.
