About Woman’s Trust
The charity was established in 1996 to meet the gap in specialist mental health services. Woman’s Trust is led by and for women and aims to ensure that women affected by domestic abuse can live a life free from further harm and abuse. Our approach is trauma-informed and person-centred, empowering survivors on their journey to recovery from the trauma. We are committed to a positive, inclusive and equitable environment for our staff, service users and volunteers.
Alongside delivering our existing 1-1 counselling, self-development workshops and therapeutic support groups for women who have experienced domestic abuse, we are focused on developing our innovative mental health services for young women and girls, delivering new peer-led support groups and providing therapeutic groups to children and their mothers. We are also committed to developing further awareness-raising workshops and training for professionals, building on our research and policy to improve systems nationally.
Background
The lack of recognition of domestic abuse as a mental health issue within the NHS leads to delayed and inadequate support for survivors. This gap in understanding and response often result in survivors only being able to access and receive appropriate care when their mental health deteriorates to the point of requiring secondary mental health services (Women’s Aid 2021). Meta analysis suggests that CBT, one of the NHS’s most prescribed approaches for mental ill-health, is not the best approach for domestic abuse survivors as it does not recognise and take into account the external factors and dynamics of abuse, specifically power and control, the role of the perpetrator and the resulting trauma for the survivor.
In March 2025, WT published its first major report, ‘Living Without Hope’ which consolidates existing and increasing academic, government and sector research demonstrating the significant impact of domestic abuse on women’s mental health. Outlining the current agency responses at national, regional and local levels and the gaps in provision; the report also makes recommendations for change and improvement across the VAWG and health sectors.
Building on the research highlighted in our ‘Living Without Hope’ report, WT has secured funding to work with key stakeholders in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to examine the links between domestic abuse and mental health, the specific experiences of Arab and Moroccan women and their access to safe, appropriate services that meet their needs.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced arts-based therapeutic facilitator to deliver creative workshops for mothers who have experienced domestic abuse and their children aged 5-12.
The workshops use creative and expressive activities to support emotional regulation, strengthen mother-child relationships, and aid recovery from trauma. Sessions are delivered in a group setting and designed to be flexible, inclusive, and responsive to participants’ needs.
This is a sessional role, ideal for practitioners seeking flexible work alongside other clinical, therapeutic, or creative practice.
Contract & hours: Variable hours, up to 37 workshops per year. Sessional/fixed-term contract (subject to funding).
Please note, this post is open to female applicants only – Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1 applies.
Are you looking for a rewarding opportunity to use your experience as a Psychologist to support vulnerable adults in Bristol?
St Mungo’s Assertive Contact and Engagement (ACE) Service works with people with mental health needs who face barriers to support, and are not actively engaged with other mental health services. We operate across Bristol supporting people and communities that may have had difficulty accessing services that fully meet their needs in the past.
Working within St Mungo’s ACE team offers a unique opportunity to work creatively, and shape the provision for clients while working alongside another Clinical Psychologist.
The ACE Clinical Psychologist provides clinical leadership to the service as well as delivering therapy in a psychologically-led, trauma-informed mental health engagement service. The ACE service provides home- or community-based support/social interventions and location-based therapy for people who would otherwise need statutory mental health services, but who experience barriers such as multiple/chronic exclusion, complex trauma, personality disorder, and so-called ‘chaotic behaviours’ that would likely make current statutory services inaccessible for them. Key aspects of the role include:
- Provide clinical leadership for the service
- Lead, line manage and deliver the therapy aspect of the service.
- Lead and provide psychological assessments, formulations and interventions in group and one-to-one settings.
- Work in close partnership with the Service Manager and other managers to ensure that all aspects of the service are fully psychologically informed.
This post is offered on a part time basis (30 hours per week), to include Tuesdays and Fridays, with other days to be agreed.
About you
We are looking for a Psychologist with a passion for working with individuals and groups who face inequalities in accessing substance use and / or mental health services; and for developing services that are fully responsive to their needs.

Clinical Psychologist
Bristol
£58,000 pro rata
Part Time (30 hours per week)
Are you looking for a rewarding opportunity to use your experience as a Psychologist to support vulnerable adults in Bristol?
Our client's Assertive Contact and Engagement (ACE) Service works with people with mental health needs who face barriers to support, and are not actively engaged with other mental health services. They operate across Bristol supporting people and communities that may have had difficulty accessing services that fully meet their needs in the past.
Working within their ACE team offers a unique opportunity to work creatively, and shape the provision for clients while working alongside another Clinical Psychologist.
The ACE Clinical Psychologist provides clinical leadership to the service as well as delivering therapy in a psychologically-led, trauma-informed mental health engagement service. The ACE service provides home- or community-based support/social interventions and location-based therapy for people who would otherwise need statutory mental health services, but who experience barriers such as multiple/chronic exclusion, complex trauma, personality disorder, and so-called ‘chaotic behaviours’ that would likely make current statutory services inaccessible for them. Key aspects of the role include:
- Provide clinical leadership for the service.
- Lead, line manage and deliver the therapy aspect of the service.
- Lead and provide psychological assessments, formulations and interventions in group and one-to-one settings.
- Work in close partnership with the Service Manager and other managers to ensure that all aspects of the service are fully psychologically informed.
This post is offered on a part time basis (30 hours per week), to include Tuesdays and a strong preference for Fridays, with other days to be agreed.
About you
Our client is looking for a Psychologist with a passion for working with individuals and groups who face inequalities in accessing substance use and / or mental health services; and for developing services that are fully responsive to their needs.
You will also be experienced in supporting staff (psychologists and/or non-qualified staff) who are working with clients who experience complex trauma, substance use and homelessness – to foster psychological ideas and interventions.
You will hold a doctorate level qualification in Clinical or Counselling Psychology and be eligible for or hold chartered status with BPS.
Even if you are unsure whether you have all the skills and experience required, we encourage you to submit an application to have the opportunity to discuss the role further.
