    Advocate (South London)

    Women in Prison is a national, women-led, feminist organisation. We deliver front line support to women harmed by the criminal justice system, through our work in prisons, in the community and 'through the prison gate' as they resettle back into their communities. We also campaign for systems change that addresses the root causes of offending, reduces the harmful impact of prison, and creates workable, community-based alternatives to imprisonment.

    Duties and Key Responsibilities :

    • Client Care: provide high-quality, trauma-responsive advocacy and emotional and practical support to women in contact with, or at risk of being in contact with the criminal justice system.
    • Monitoring and Evaluation: accurately document all client interaction on Women in Prison's case management database, working in line with Women in Prison's case management policy at all times.
    • Communication: develop and utilise a variety of strategies to communicate effectively with women using our services, colleagues, external organisations, stakeholders and the general public.

    If you require reasonable adjustments to support you during the application process, please contact the HR team on .

    We are happy to invest in developing the right person, so you are welcome to apply even if your professional experience does not fully meet the job description or person specification.

    We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and minoritised women, and women who have personal experience of the criminal justice system.
