Are you looking for a rewarding role working for an intersectional feminist organisation? If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you to join our team as Children's Sessional Worker at Solace Women's Aid.

We exist to end the harm done through gender-based violence.

Our aim is to work to prevent violence and abuse, as well as providing services to meet the individual needs of survivors, particularly women and children.

Our work is holistic and empowering, working alongside survivors to achieve independent lives, free from abuse.

Our core values reflect our history and were developed in consultation with staff and service users.

Feminism and intersectionality are key to our work and we are committed to the principles of being survivor-led, trauma-informed, empowering, diverse, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory.

About the Service
Refuge Services provide emergency accommodation to women and children fleeing domestic abuse and sexual violence.

Sessional play workers deliver high quality safe fun activities that include a combination of enrichment activities, physical games and sports and nutritional education to children up to the age of 12.

About the Role

As a Sessional Play Worker you will be involved in the planning and delivery of a variety of sessions and activities for children and young people at the refuge.

This includes listening to children's ideas to design services around their needs, choices, and aspirations.

You will work alongside the Family Support Worker - encouraging all children to take part and have as much fun as possible whilst helping to develop children's learning, well-being, and social skills.

To be an effective member of our wonderful team the successful applicant will possess excellent communication skills, be enthusiastic and creative
