Job description

ABOUT US

Hopscotch works hard to support women and families facing racial and gender inequity in London. We are proudly anti-racist and anti-misogynist. We take our trauma informed practice seriously, both with service users and within the organisation. We also run a successful Homecare service, with Care Workers supporting vulnerable people in south Camden who draw on care.

WHY HOPSCOTCH?

o Your dedication will have a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need

o Be with an employer who is a signatory of the Employers Domestic Abuse Covenant (EDAC) – a pledge by businesses to support employees who are survivors of violence

o 25 days annual leave for full time employees, increasing after 5 years employment, with additional paid office closure between Christmas and New Year. Hopscotch believes we all deserve quality time to focus on our friends and family and most importantly, ourselves at this time

o Occupational sick leave

o Regular internal and clinical supervision with qualified therapists
