  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Good administrative and computer skills including proficient use of Zoom/Microsoft Teams, Microsoft packages and Outlook.

  • Excellent attention to detail.
  • Strong organisational skills and be able to prioritise your workload.
  • Carry out any other duties appropriate to the role as requested by your supervisor.
  • Maintain confidentiality in all matters relating to the organisation.

What can you gain from this opportunity?

As part of this role, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Gain experience and understanding of Violence against Women and Girls.
  • Enabling service users to access valuable support that assists in their journey towards safe, independent lives, free from abuse.
  • Contribute and support a busy and diverse team.
  • Play a pivotal role in delivering services.
  • Hands on experience in a dynamic charity working in the Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) Sector.
  • Work as part of a feminist organisation.
  • Have the opportunity to shadow a number of roles.
  • Start to develop and understanding of risk assessment and safety planning.

We offer great volunteer induction training, where you will be fully supported to understand and carry put every aspect of the role.
