From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be.

Our Ealing Young Champions programme has been developed over the last four years, and we have secured multi-year funding to run projects designed to engage and empower local young people to advocate for practical solutions to address the issues that they and their peers face. Whilst a core group has been established over time, the way the project is run will be set by the successful applicant according to their own experience of working with young people.
We are also about to begin an exciting new project, taking over a local Library and developing it as a hub for services for children, young people and families in Greenford, alongside a core library offer for the local community.

Are you a digital technology expert that wants to help Methodist communities explore the online world?
Do you have a desire to develop new ways to fulfil our calling?
Can you inspire others to use and grow technology in their own contexts?
If so, we are keen to hear from you…
The Role
The North West England Methodist District (NWED) is seeking to appoint a Digital Enabler. The role is home-based, with travel throughout the District. The Digital Enabler will facilitate the effective participation by all members in the life of the Church in the North West England District by supporting stakeholders at all levels to facilitate digital evangelism and building and maintaining the District’s online presence.
NWED
NWED came to being in September 2024 following the joining together of a number of Methodist Districts. We cover the geographical area of Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and parts of Cheshire and Derbyshire. Within this are inner city, industrial, post-industrial, suburban, and rural areas – no two towns are the same.
The District embraces a rich breadth and variety of theological perspectives and worship styles. A range of fresh expressions of Church (messy church, café church, arts-based projects, digital spaces etc.) are nurtured without neglecting the other, more traditional, expressions and all are equally valued.
We exist primarily to advance the mission of the Methodist Church in our District by supporting churches and circuits (a circuit is a group of churches served by a team, including one or more ministers). The District seeks to support each circuit and church to meet the needs of their members and the communities in which they serve, offering opportunities to worship, work and learn together.

The opportunity
We are seeking a passionate and dedicated candidate to join our Housing team at Standing Together. If you are someone who shares our passion to improve the lives of those experiencing the sharpest end of multiple disadvantage then we would love to hear from you.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our Multiple Disadvantage and Homelessness programme. The programme was set up in 2017 in response to the gap in provision for meeting the unique needs of women experiencing domestic abuse, homelessness and other forms of multiple disadvantage. By ‘Multiple Disadvantage’ we are referring to those with cooccurring experiences of homelessness, substance misuse, interpersonal violence and abuse and poor mental health (Gender Matters). We recognise that multiple disadvantage is a systemic, not an individual issue; structural inequality creates the conditions in which experiences of poverty, abuse, trauma and neglect intersect. In addition, disadvantage is further compounded by systemic discrimination based on concepts of identity, such as age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, religion, or belief. There are currently three funded projects that make up
the programme, that are united by a common purpose:
We work across sectors to educate organisations around the needs of survivors of abuse and other forms of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) who experience homelessness and severe and multiple disadvantage.
We work to highlight the structural barriers this group face in accessing services and support and build a coordinated community response to domestic abuse, VAWG and multiple disadvantage.
We work to change the systems that create and reinforce multiple disadvantage in the lives of survivors of domestic abuse and VAWG by supporting organisations to pilot and embed new approaches and by engaging with policy and commissioning at both the local and national level.
We are looking for someone with direct experience of working with women impacted by multiple disadvantage, who can draw on this experience to lead on the delivery of programme workstreams, in particular our Housing First work and partnership work with Westminster Council Changing Futures project around VAWG and multiple disadvantage. You will have strong project management skills and experience and the flexibility to work across multiple workstreams at once.
We are looking for a creative and passionate, motivated, and engaging person who can build and maintain strong partnerships with a range of stakeholders, and advocate for women and survivors of domestic abuse impacted by multiple disadvantage across sectors and at the highest level. At STADA we know a coordinated community response to domestic abuse, VAWG and multiple disadvantage is essential to enable women and survivors to access the housing and support that they need, and to change the systems that reinforce suffering and discrimination for this cohort. Come and help us bring organisations together to make change!
For further information about the role, please see the job description and person specification attached.
Please check out our social medias for more information:
About us
Standing Together was founded 20 years ago with the ambition to eradicate domestic abuse by transforming the way organisations and individuals think about, prevent, and respond to it.

The Housing Team at STADA, focuses on responding to the housing and homelessness needs of victims/survivors of domestic abuse, through influencing national and local policy and practice, across all relevant agencies, but with a particular focus on the role of the housing and homelessness sector as a part of a Coordinated Community Response to domestic abuse.
