Mental Health: All of the young people Baobab supports suffer significant mental health and developmental difficulties and many function in an unstable and more immature way than their chronological age. Due to their experiences it takes time to gain trust from the young people in our community.

Baobab’s Model: Please read the accompanying ‘Baobab Clincial Context and Model’ document for a detailed introduction. It often takes a significant amount of time to understand Baobab’s model of working, which aims for rehabilitation and justice through attending to both the internal and external world of each young. It is important that you strive to have an insight to the experiences of both the internal and external factors impacting on the lives of unaccompanied young people attending our centre. It is also important that you understand the ways in which UK society and policy impacts on young asylum seekers (including invisibility, marginalisation, discrimination, and the fact of waiting in uncertainty for a long time).
Multi-disciplinary Working: Baobab aims to be a reflective, thinking organisation and we place a high value on shared thinking time, sharing responsibilities and working together with others. A key aspect of the role is communicating and working in a holistic way.

About UKHIH
Founded in 2020, the UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub (UKHIH) is an initiative hosted by Elrha, a global organisation committed to solving complex humanitarian challenges, and is funded by the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO). Our mission is to address significant humanitarian issues through rigorous research and innovative solutions. We achieve this by bringing together diverse stakeholders from both within and beyond the humanitarian sector, fostering collaboration, co-creation, and the mobilisation of resources. This approach integrates the perspectives of crisis-affected communities with the expertise of humanitarian actors, leveraging UK and global capacities to develop effective, relevant solutions.
Since its inception, UKHIH has been at the forefront of advancing humanitarian innovation through Accelerated Innovation Collaborations (AICs), which are high-impact partnerships that drive major advancements in the field via a shared strategic learning process.

Additionally, UKHIH supports the Humanitarian Rapid Research Initiative (HRRI), which conducts real-time research on emerging crises, producing pivotal reports on issues such as ethical concerns in Afghanistan, response capacities to cholera, and the humanitarian impacts of natural disasters like the Turkey/Syria earthquake and the Pakistan floods. More recently, UKHIH has expanded its efforts to include ecosystem development within the humanitarian sector, focusing on UK capability mapping and exploring emerging technologies to tackle future challenges effectively.

About us
Women and Girls Network (WGN) was established in 1987 and has spent over 30 years supporting women and girls across London affected by gendered violence. This includes childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, rape, prostitution (including trafficking and sexual exploitation), female genital mutilation (FGM), and so-called ‘honour’ based crimes such as forced marriage.
Our goal is to promote, preserve, and restore the mental health and wellbeing of women and girls, to empower them to make a total and sustainable recovery from the experiences of violence. VAWG crimes, which include domestic abuse, rape, sexual assault, stalking, and harassment, accounted for 20% of total police recorded crime in England and Wales between 2022 and 2023.
