About the Service
Ella House supports women facing multiple disadvantages and intersectional challenges, including homelessness, substance misuse, contact with the criminal justice system, and mental ill health. These women often fall through gaps between services and systems, making it harder for them to address their challenges and lead fulfilling lives.

You will have working knowledge of legal remedies, housing and welfare benefits, and experience delivering workshops.
