About the organisation
nia has been delivering services to women, girls and children who have experienced domestic and sexual violence since 1975.

The service is currently funded until March 2023, with a possibility of further extension. It is our policy to try to offer staff alternative posts in the organisation if funding for the post they are filling ends.

Our specialist refuge provision provides eleven units of accommodation for women who are escaping domestic and sexual violence and who use substances problematically; more than a third of the women who have lived in the refuge have also been exploited through prostitution. The women who enter the project have frequently been excluded from and/or refused access to other types of refuge provision.

About you
We are looking for highly organised and self-motivated women who are passionate about ending violence against women, girls and children. You will have a ‘can-do’ approach and demonstrable commitment to nia’s feminist approach to supporting women and their children to be safer.
