Would you like to join a team working shoulder to shoulder with young women?

● Are you experienced in responding to safeguarding issues?

● Can you advocate on behalf of young women with statutory services?

 

If this is you, then we’d love to hear from you.

We are looking for someone to work with young women up to the age of 25 using Abianda’s unique model of
practice. You will deliver one-to-one sessions in the London area, with the possibility of some work outside of London. You will be part of a dedicated team of practitioners with regular support and clinical supervision.

​

• This is a full-time fixed term contract until 31 March 2022

• Salary is £28,000 PA, plus contribution to a pension

 

 

​We are hoping the successful candidate will be able to start in June or July. The funding for this contract is
currently until 31 March 2022, but we hope to be in a position to extend it following securing additional funding.
As Covid restrictions lift it is hoped that all sessions with young women will be delivered face to face, although
some online sessions are still expected for the time being. There will also be opportunities to deliver training to
professionals and attend public speaking events for which there will be additional remuneration. A job description
with more details of the role, including a person specification, can be downloaded from the supporting documents
below.

Who we’re looking for

Importantly you will have a strong values match with our principles – we believe that:

• Young women are experts on their own lives

• People affected by a problem are best placed to find the solutions

• Young women must participate in building solutions and influence the design and delivery of services

• If this is to happen traditional power hierarchies in service delivery must be overturned

• We have a fundamental belief in young women’s innate strengths, resources and competence

​

• Abianda is a women’s only employer, and as such positions are exempt under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010.

• We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities, Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, LGBT+ and from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds.

• We welcome applications from people from all walks of life, including those who may have had exposure to similar experiences that young women across London are facing.

• We will not consider CVs. Please do not submit these with, or in place of, an application form
