We currently have an opportunity for an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate to join the team in London. This role is full time working 37.5 hours per week and is a hybrid role working from home, our London Office and St. George's Hospital.

Ebony Horse Club is a Brixton-based charity that works with young people from low-income backgrounds, using horses as a powerful catalyst to build confidence, aspirations, and life skills.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to breaking down barriers to access, particularly for those young people and families who are often excluded from mainstream services and opportunities. We know that isolation, socio-economic disadvantage, and lack of access to safe, welcoming community spaces are some of the most persistent challenges facing families in our area. Our work directly addresses these challenges by creating inclusive, supportive environments that over the last 30 years, has developed into a much-needed community hub.

Our stables in the heart of Lambeth is not just a place to ride horses; we are a safe space where almost 200 young people every week can build trusted relationships with adults, develop a sense of purpose, and gain vital skills through mentoring, youth work, and enrichment activities. We facilitate transformative experiences that build confidence, resilience, and life skills through riding and horse care and many of our members go on to find work in the equine or related fields through our assistance, funding and contacts in tertiary education and beyond.

We are looking for a Senior Youth Worker to join our team to help shape and deliver our services here in Brixton as we enter our 30th year. Join a fun, enthusiatic team of staff and volunteers - as well as 9 horses (and a couple of dogs). We're looking for a flexible, creative and positive person to take the lead on organising trips, creating opportunities and working directly with young people on site here in Brixton. 

The role requires evening and weekend work, however we know life happens so try to offer as much flexibility as possible. However, as this is a frontline role, this is not suitable for candidates who may want to work remotely. If you have any questions ahead of application then please don't hesistate to get in touch for an informal chat.
