Full time 36 hours per week Monday to Friday - £27,000 to £29,000 per annum depending upon experience

Using your communication skills and proactive attitude you will empower male survivors of domestic abuse to live a life without fear.  Working in our community-based service you will provide emotional and practical support, predominantly on a one to one basis, to men who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse.  Enabling clients to reach informed decisions about their future, you will undertake risk assessments, safety planning and signposting.  You will act as an advocate, deliver presentations to raise awareness and encourage joint working with external voluntary and statutory agencies to get the best possible outcomes for your clients. There will also be the opportunity to support the development and implementation of  prevention programmes for young people.

You must:

  • Have experience of supporting individuals who have been affected by domestic abuse or other trauma, including advocating, signposting and working on a multi-agency basis.

  • Be able to undertake presentations and deliver training

  • Be well organised with good administration and IT skills along with a professional, calm and flexible approach to your work.

  • Have a full UK driving licence, a car that you can use for business purposes, and be able to travel to appointments around Surrey.

  • Ideally have experience of working with male youths and knowledge of the issues which may promote risky behaviour.

 

In return, Your Sanctuary offers training opportunities, 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays, a contributory pension scheme, an Employee Assistance Programme, free parking and a dynamic and engaging workplace.  Your Sanctuary is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful and equitable environment for all individuals associated with our organisation.
