Salary: £27,948 per annum
Contract type: Permanent
Hours: Full Time, 37.5 hours per week
Refuge is the UK’s largest provider of specialist services, and we are proud to be a leader in our field and an employer of choice, with leading edge systems for supervision, quality management and development.
We are recruiting for motivated, driven floating support workers (FSW) who are passionate about supporting women and children who are affected by domestic violence. These roles are part of a partnership for the Ascent Pan London Floating Support Service (FSS), which will provide high-quality domestic abuse support, ‘by-and-for’ services and counselling. This partnership will deliver trauma-informed, wrap-around, client-led support for those in safe accommodation, across London.
Referrals to the FSS will come through a single-point-of-access Freephone telephone number, or secure email operated by Refuge duty-workers. This will operate from Refuge’s Head Office in London. The duty line will operate Monday to Friday 09.30 am to 05.30 pm.
Referrals can come through any agency, or self-referral, but initially pathways will be established with all borough housing teams by FSWs working within tri-borough clusters who will build relationships within their localities. The FSS will accept referrals for any survivor living in safe accommodation except refuge, at any level of risk, on a needs-led basis.
Refuge, along with Advance and Solace Women’s Aid, will provide the ‘general needs’ support provision in the partnership. The support will be divided into geographical clusters of maximum three boroughs (shown below), with a Refuge floating support worker allocated to each cluster.

These are new and exciting roles in Refuge, with opportunities for everyone in the new service to work across the partnership (and therefore the sector) providing high quality support to victims of domestic violence.
The floating support worker will carry a smaller caseload of survivors and their children to enable them to provide a more holistic and intensive support package. They will work closely with victims of domestic abuse from the point of crisis, to provide high quality support to survivors of domestic abuse and their children.
The job involves informing survivors of the full range of civil, criminal and practical options that might increase their safety. There is an expectation that the FSWs will work in partnership with both statutory and voluntary sector partners to ensure that the whole range of survivors’ needs are met.
