About Surviving Economic Abuse:
At Surviving Economic Abuse, we deal with one of society’s biggest issues. Last year, 5.5 million UK women reported that a current or former partner had controlled their economic resources – money and the things it can buy such as food, clothing, transportation, and housing. Through economic control, abusers limit women’s freedom, they steal their futures, and, in far too many cases, they take their lives. Yet too few people are aware of economic abuse – even those who experience it. We are the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of economic abuse and transforming responses to it. The speed and scale of our growth since 2017 are evidence of how much we are needed. We may be young, but we are already creating big waves.
What We Offer You:
- Remote working with occasional travel for team events
- Competitive salary
- 25 days of annual leave plus (pro rata) plus bank holidays
- 5 'Wellbeing Days' (pro rata)
- Enhanced maternity and paternity pay

- Reflective practice
- Opportunities for personal and professional growth in a supportive and innovative environment.
How to Apply:
