AAFDA was founded by Frank Mullane in memory of his sister Julia Pemberton and her son Will who were both killed by her ex-partner in 2003.
Each year, around 150 families lose a loved one to domestic homicide. The actual number of suicides as a result of domestic abuse remains unknown. Most of these families suffer significant problems including relationship breakdown, job difficulties/loss and mental and physical health issues. We help these families in many ways, our prime function being to provide families in England, Wales and Northern Ireland with specialist peer support and expert and specialist advocacy for the range of statutory reviews that will take place after domestic homicide.
AAFDA (Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse) is a growing Charity and to meet the demands we are looking for a specialist Advocate for Scotland. Although home based, some travel will be required - frequency will be commensurate to the role. We welcome applications from candidates with experience of domestic abuse. We are also committed to diversity and strongly encourage applications from those with Black and/or Minoritised backgrounds.
Scotland is expected to introduce Domestic Homicide and Suicide Reviews commencing in April 2026. We are looking for a candidate with a good understanding of the Scottish legislative system and good understanding around domestic abuse to join our growing charity
Our Specialist Advocates support families impacted by fatal domestic abuse through provision of lay advocacy, for and on behalf of, families with a range of statutory service providers (e.g. those conducting reviews and inquiries, social services, police, housing) and work to build good relations between all parties. To ensure that families get the support they need, you will use AAFDA’s Home Office endorsed seven-step approach to working with individuals and families, to ensure that they receive the best possible support and advocacy to restore dignity and relief for families and to help them cope and recover. Through trauma-informed approaches, you will:
· Listen to families and advocate for them in a complex system that too often treats them as passive participants and overlooks the value of their insight.
· Provide information, support, guidance, advice and advocacy on Domestic Homicide & Suicide Reviews (DHSR’s) and other reviews where relevant and appropriate.
· Manage families’ expectations of the legal and procedural processes facing them by supporting families in meetings with agencies such as health, police and local authorities.
· Give families practical help on a wide range of issues - including help with letter writing or advocating with employers and local authorities on the families’ behalf.
· Support AAFDA in our bringing families together in AAFDA’s peer support events, such as the Hear Our Voice weekend and the on-line peer support Zoom sessions, where families can speak with others to share their experiences and stories. This will involve occasional evening work.
In return for joining us, we will offer you:
· 25 days annual leave per annum, plus bank holidays
· Excellent development and training opportunities
· Pension Scheme
· Healthcare Scheme
· Employee Assist Scheme

The sector is inclusive, fun, dynamic and representative and we put students and students’ unions at the heart of everything we do. We are challenging but are committed to creating a supportive and flexible environment which pushes your personal development in your everyday activity.

Students’ unions can be transformational hubs for students, staff, and wider society.

REF-226 098
The Fawcett Society is the UK’s leading feminist campaigning charity. Our vision is a feminist future where every woman and girl has the power to make her own choices and thrive.
We are recruiting a Community Builder to strengthen and grow our grassroots feminist movement. This role will support Fawcett’s Local Groups, develop clear and inclusive pathways for people to get involved, and help connect local activism with national campaigns and policy change.
This is a role for someone who believes power should be shared, not hoarded — and who is motivated by building feminist power beyond any single organisation.
About the role
Local Groups are the foundation of Fawcett’s movement. Our Local Groups campaign on local issues affecting women in their locality, and create national campaigns and policy drives based on the lived experience of their local group.
We want to do more to bring these groups together, to strengthen our support of these groups, to pull together the voices and campaigns into national policy priorities, and ensure that every member of a local group feels connected to the national movement.
This is where this new role comes in.
The Community Builder will help people set up new groups, and ensure our groups are well supported, informed, and connected, while also exploring new ways for people to organise together, including thematic and digital communities.
Alongside relationship-building, the role carries responsibility for ensuring community activity is underpinned by clear processes, agreements, and risk management, so that grassroots organising is safe and sustainable.
This is a manager-level role, working with autonomy and initiative, with scope to grow into line management in future.
What you will do
- Support and strengthen Fawcett’s local groups, building trusted relationships with activists and group leaders.
- Create clear, accessible pathways for people to set up new groups, join existing ones, or engage in other forms of feminist activism.
- Connect and embed grassroots insights and lived experience with Fawcett’s national campaigns and policy work.
- Support activists to grow their skills, confidence, and leadership in inclusive and democratic ways.
- Develop and maintain processes, agreements, and protocols that support safe, compliant, and sustainable community organising.
- Explore and assess new models and tools for feminist community-building, including digital approaches.
- Collaborate across campaigns, communications, and membership to strengthen Fawcett’s overall impact.
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to have done this exact job before.
We’re interested in people who bring:
- Experience of grassroots organising, community-building, or supporting volunteer networks (paid or unpaid).
- A strong commitment to intersectional, anti-racist feminist practice.
- An understanding of activism and how to amplify lived experience in national policy and campaigning.
- A collaborative approach to leadership and decision-making.
- Confidence working with ambiguity and helping shape new approaches where no template exists.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust across diverse communities.
- Awareness of risk, safeguarding, or compliance considerations in grassroots or volunteer activity.
- Curiosity about digital tools and inclusive ways of organising.
Encouragement to apply
We know that women and people from marginalised backgrounds are less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every single criterion listed. If this role excites you and you feel you could do it well, we strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements.
We care about values, potential, and how you approach your work, not just whether your experience matches the role line-by-line.
Inclusion and adjustments
We are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. You do not need to disclose a disability to request adjustments.
Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential
