Abuse destroys lives. Join us in rebuilding them.
Domestic abuse has blighted women’s lives throughout history. We’ve been helping women in London recover from its effects since 1996. Our specialist counselling transforms the mental health and wellbeing of women who have suffered physical, emotional or sexual abuse, financial exploitation or coercive control, and we have assisted well over 15,000 people to date. Add your skills to our closely knit all-female team, and you can help thousands more on the road to recovery.
We are recruiting a number of assessors to offer initial assessments for clients on the Woman’s Trust assessment waiting list. Assessors will provide 8 initial assessments per week, these are 1:30 hours either face-to-face, via Teams or by telephone. All WT services are client-led and based on a person-centred/humanistic model of working and commitment to this way of working is essential for this post.
In return, you can expect exceptional career satisfaction, plus an excellent package of benefits, including hybrid and flexible working, 25 days’ holiday rising to 30 days after five years (pro rata), a 3% pension contribution, a comprehensive employee assistance programme, and a cycle-to-work scheme.
