Jobs for the Health sector

We’re Together Active, a charity working across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to make it easier for people to be active in ways that fit their lives.

We focus on the systems that shape who gets included and who doesn’t. That means looking beyond individual behaviours to understand how policy, funding, culture and place influence people’s choices, freedoms and access to movement.

Safeguarding is fundamental to that work. It isn't just about policies or responding when something goes wrong. It's about creating a culture where people's welfare is everyone's responsibility, where concerns are acted upon with care and confidence, and where trust underpins everything we do.

We're looking for someone who shares those values. Someone who combines sound judgement with empathy, who is confident supporting colleagues and partners through complex situations, and who sees safeguarding not as a separate function, but as an essential part of creating positive experiences for everyone who engages with our work.

If you feel excited by the opportunity to help shape a culture where people feel safe, supported and able to thrive, we'd be delighted to receive your application.

• can contribute confidently and compassionately to our trauma‑informed and survivor‑centred practice.
• you will ensure women experiencing domestic abuse and other forms of trauma, are met with dignity, understanding and culturally attuned care throughout their healing journey whilst living in safe accommodations.

You will have experince of:

Facilitating safe, inclusive, and engaging wellbeing groups using trauma-informed, survivor-led approaches that foster trust, participation, peer connection, and empowerment, while adapting delivery to meet diverse emotional, cultural, communication, and literacy needs.

Building trusted relationships with women living in safer accommodation and develop effective partnerships with accommodation providers, community organisations, and support services to strengthen engagement and access to support.

Promoting women's voices, choice, independence, and leadership through strengths-based practice, effective signposting, advocacy, and collaborative working that supports holistic and coordinated responses to women's needs.

How to Apply

CV (maximum of 2 sides of A4) and Cover Letter (maximum 1 side A4).

Your covering letter will tell us why you would like this role, how your experience meets the role requirements and why you would like to join Sister Circle.

We welcome applications from women with lived experience of domestic abuse and safer accommodation.

Applications without a covering letter and received after the deadline will not be considered.

About us  

We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease.

Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So we do more.

We bring more break throughs through research, more change through campaigning and more support through our expert nurses.

We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.

Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.

Underpinning this vision are our three values: 

• Courage
• Compassion
• Community

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.
