About Adolescent Health Study

The Adolescent Health Study (AHS) (Registered Charity Number 1213337) is an ambitious new UKRI-funded initiative to establish a prospective, longitudinal population study that will generate a globally leading open science data platform and research resource. AHS aims to recruit at least 100,000 young people aged eight to 18 years from across the UK and to follow their mental and physical health and wellbeing over at least 10 years. It plans to collect data through questions and measures; to obtain bio-samples for a wide range of genomic and other high-throughput assays; and to capture linked data relevant to health and wellbeing from participants’ health, education and other administrative records.

There will be a strong emphasis on engaging with and involving young people, schools, parents and other relevant stakeholders in the design and delivery of the study, as well as on including young people that represent as wide as possible a range of backgrounds, experiences and characteristics.

Trainer – Homelessness & Multiple Disadvantages
Closing Date: 31st March 2026

About Us

At Standing Together, we believe no one should live in fear, yet domestic abuse affects millions of people, often hidden in plain sight.

We don’t provide frontline services. Instead, we work behind the scenes to change the systems that too often fail survivors; from housing and health to policing, social care and beyond. As a second-tier organisation, we support and strengthen the work of others. We bring agencies together, build skills, offer expert consultancy and drive improvements in policy and practice so that people facing abuse get better, more joined-up support wherever they live.

We’re best known for developing the Coordinated Community Response (CCR) a powerful model that gets services working together to prevent harm and keep people safe. It’s now recognised across the UK and shapes everything we do. Our work is proudly feminist and anti-racist. We know abuse doesn’t exist in a vacuum; it’s linked to inequality, discrimination and injustice. That’s why we’re building a team that reflects the communities we serve, with space for diverse voices and lived experience.
We’re remote-based but closely connected through shared values, mutual respect and a deep belief in the power of system change.

We stand with survivors. We stand for justice. We stand together for change.

The Opportunity

Be part of a national team improving how services respond to domestic abuse.

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated candidate to join our Training team at Standing Together. If you are someone who shares our passion to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable groups, then we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for an experienced trainer to come on board and lead on the delivery and development of our bespoke suite of training for frontline homelessness/rough sleeping teams and supported accommodation organisations. You will work across the Training and Multiple Disadvantage & Homelessness Teams at STADA; both of which focus on transforming the support available to survivors of domestic abuse.

We are looking for a creative, passionate and engaging person who can clearly communicate to learners the impact of domestic abuse on individuals experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantage. The goal of this role is to support frontline workers in homelessness settings to identify and respond to domestic abuse as part of a Coordinated Community Response.

For further information about the role, please see the job description and person specification attached.

About Reprieve

About Reprieve Reprieve is a leading international human rights organisation working to end the death penalty and abuses committed under the banner of national security. Founded in 1999, our mission remains critically relevant as governments worldwide increasingly adopt authoritarian tactics, expanding executive power at the expense of civil liberties.

You can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. We provide vital legal and investigative support to those facing execution and victims of rendition, torture, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killing, and citizenship stripping. Our work spans multiple jurisdictions, challenging states' most egregious human rights violations through strategic litigation, investigations, and advocacy.

We support cases in courts worldwide while building the legal and political momentum necessary to consign these practices to history.

Based in London with Fellows and partners globally, Reprieve operates at the intersection of law, policy, and human rights, working alongside governments, senior legal practitioners, and civil society to advance systemic change. 

We collaborate closely with our independent partner organisation Reprieve US.

Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer, and we particularly welcome applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those with disabilities. Reprieve is committed to fighting racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve.
