Solace is an innovative, exciting, grassroots charity working across London. Our purpose is to bring to
an end the harm done through domestic and sexual violence to all survivors, and in particular
women and children. Our work is holistic and empowering, working alongside survivors to achieve
independent lives free from abuse.
You will be joining a team of committed and inspiring individuals whose dedication has saved the
lives of thousands of women, men and children in the capital. We are looking for friendly and
diligent individuals to join our services and help us make a difference.
About the Service
Our Peripatetic Team provide front-line support to Solace’s Advice, Community and
Accommodation-based Services across London. Crisis Intervention Workers enable our services to
deliver a consistent high standard of service.
The team was created in order to have trained, skilled staff ready to cover gaps in service and
facilitate the continued smooth running of services, proactively supporting women and children who
have experienced domestic abuse. They are required to go into different teams and quickly
establish themselves and provide support in times where staff teams may be struggling.
About the Role
In all services, peri workers provide nonjudgmental, confidential, and psychologically-informed
support to survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. Typical tasks include risk assessment, safety
planning, and working with survivors to develop individual support plans. Other roles require
house management, outreach and health and safety tasks.
Peri workers have the opportunity to work in a variety of roles across Solace’s services. Working
across departments offers peri workers the ability to continually develop their knowledge,
casework skills, advocacy skills, multi-agency working, and ability to manage and thrive in a
changing environment.
The role will involve commuting to sites across London, and although hybrid working may be
available in some projects it is not possible for all. Travel is taken into consideration when
confirming placements, however you should be prepared for longer commutes.
This role in certain placements will require you to work a rota including weekend hours between
8am – 8pm.
About You
The Peripatetic Team is dynamic – our colleagues bring a wide range of transferrable skills and
different experiences to the team that informs our practice and work with survivors.
The Peripatetic Team is looking for passionate advocates who understand the importance of
working in a psychologically-informed way with both survivors and colleagues, who are willing to
continuously learn and develop their skills, and who understand intersectionality and the impacts
violence against women and girls can have on women with intersecting identities. While prior
experience of working with survivors of abuse is desirable, it is not a requirement and if you have
transferrable skills and a passion for supporting women and children then we would love to hear
from you.
You will be a great fit in the Peri Team if you embrace change, have a growth mindset, and are
comfortable working independently. Although peri workers are dispersed across different
services, the team offers regular opportunities to connect with fellow peri colleagues.
