Background Information

Fortalice was established in 1977 to provide emergency accommodation and support for women and children experiencing domestic abuse within their own homes.

The organisation has expanded over the past years and now provides a wide range of services for adults, families, children and young people within both the Refuge and the Outreach Support Centre.

The ethos of Fortalice in relation to support is to focus on self-help, promoting self-esteem, confidence and independence to enable women to break free from abusive relationships and reduce the chance of re-victimisation thus moving on to a self-sustaining, independent life.

Purpose of the role:

The post is based in our Outreach Support Centre delivering remote and in person group work sessions to victims of domestic abuse in the community.

Our group work programmes include the Freedom Programme and follow on programmes Next Steps and the Recovery Toolkit.

The aims of the group work programmes are to help victims recognise different types of abuse, explore the effects of domestic abuse on children and increase self-esteem in order to break the cycle of abuse and move towards a more positive future.

Group work sessions offer a safe space for victims to speak freely and share their experiences if they wish, therefore an ability to listen, be empathic and provide emotional support is essential.

Key skills:

Knowledge of and empathy with the aims and objectives of Fortalice and the issues relating to domestic abuse and violence
