We value and prioritise the wellbeing of our team and offer external supervision and reflective practice alongside a variety of benefits and practices that aim to cultivate a trauma-informed environment.

‘Anyone joining One25 needs to have a willingness to walk alongside the women, to listen without judgement. Sometimes we just need to be heard. We need you to be adaptable and quick thinking. To understand the problems faced by a marginalised woman. One25 is a huge part of my life and has really supported me. When I first came through the doors, I remember being made to feel welcome, and I felt safe. At last, I knew I wasn’t alone.’  

One25 is committed to being an inclusive workplace that represents the diversity of the communities we serve. We actively encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We particularly encourage applications from across the global majority, LGBTQ and disability groups, and those who have lived experience of multiple disadvantages as these groups are underrepresented within our workforce.

As part of our efforts to increase ethnic diversity in particular, we are taking positive action under the Equality Act 2010 (Section 159). We will guarantee an interview to applicants from global majority backgrounds who meet the essential criteria for the role.  Applicants are therefore asked to ensure they complete the Equalities Form when submitting their details in order that their application can be considered appropriately.

Occupational Requirement

This post is open to women only, as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010.
