1 x ISVA: You will work with individuals impacted by sexual abuse and VAWG.

• Creative, solutions-focused, and adaptable
• Strong at building rapport
• Comfortable engaging with young people and diverse communities
• Flexible in their approach and passionate about working within community settings
