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.

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.

As the Sexual Violence Helpline Manager, you will lead and develop our Helpline service, ensuring consistent high-quality, survivor-led support. You will provide leadership, guidance, and support to your team, ensuring our service is responsive and effective.

You will lead and support the Helpline Practitioners and Volunteers, ensuring shifts are resourced. You'll oversee day-to-day operations and safeguarding issues, promote and represent the service internally and externally, and ensure accurate record-keeping and data analysis. You will foster a collaborative team environment, support professional development, and maintain high standards in helpline support.
