VAWG Service Co-ordinator

Be part of something new while building on over 85 years of community impact.

Are you highly organised, compassionate and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same?

This is an exciting opportunity to join Bede Starfish as we deliver the Women's Safety Alliance (WSA), Southwark's newly commissioned Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) service. Working alongside specialist partners, the WSA provides co-ordinated, trauma-informed support to women, children, young people, families and male victims affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence and other forms of VAWG.

While the Women's Safety Alliance is a newly commissioned service, you'll be joining Bede, a trusted Southwark charity that has been supporting local communities since 1938. This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape and grow an innovative service from the very beginning while being part of an organisation with over 85 years of experience supporting local people.

As our VAWG Service Co-ordinator, you'll be at the heart of a busy, fast-paced frontline service. You'll be the first point of contact for many clients and professionals, ensuring people receive a welcoming, professional and trauma-informed response from the moment they reach out for support.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same. Alongside co-ordinating referrals, appointments and waiting lists, you'll have opportunities to attend community events, partnership meetings and networking forums across Southwark, helping to strengthen relationships and raise awareness of the Women's Safety Alliance within the local community.

What We Offer

• Apprenticeship and professional development opportunities.

• Ongoing training and career progression.

• Supportive and passionate team environment.

• Opportunity to shape and develop a new and innovative service.

• Meaningful work that makes a difference to the lives of women, children, and families.

Please note: This is a fully office-based role in Southwark. Due to the nature of the service and the importance of face-to-face collaboration with colleagues, clients and partner agencies, this role is not hybrid or remote working.

Closing to applications: 24 July 6pm 

Interview date: 28 July 

Start date: ASAP

On the day, all candidates will be required to complete a 30-minute written assessment and computer literacy test.
