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.

London Survivors Gateway

London Survivors Gateway (LSG) is made up of the four London Rape Crisis Centres, Galop, Survivors UK, Respond and the Havens and together make up the LSG partnership. Women and Girls Network (WGN) leads this collaborative partnership which provides an information and access service across London for survivors of sexual violence, aged 13+, who wish to access ongoing support. The LSG works with people of all genders.

LSG aims to ensure diversity and equality is at the centre of the service and service delivery, and that the service continues to be responsive to, and meet the needs of all survivors in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive way.

About the role

We are looking for highly motivated and experienced Navigators to join the LSG. The Navigators will act as first point of contact for survivors of sexual violence and the professionals supporting them, by providing holistic and non-judgemental information, advice and support. They will support survivors (via telephone) to access additional specialist sexual violence services through trauma-informed triage and assessment.

WGN is also looking for a highly motivated and experienced Rapid Response Senior Navigator to support the LSG team by responding effectively and efficiently to enquiries that need to be prioritised due to safeguarding risk.
