Staffordshire Women’s Aid is run by a team of staff and volunteers who are passionate about ending Domestic Violence, Sexual Violence and Violence Against Women and Girls.
Please be aware that as a local charity we do not have the capacity to provide feedback on applications that are not selected for interview.
We are committed to ensuring that individuals subjected to any form of violence against women and girls are involved at every level of our organisation. Therefore, we welcome applications from individuals with lived experience of violence and abuse who also meet the person specification, so we can work together to amplify survivors’ voices and ensure our organisation is user centred.
There are currently no vacancies available at this time. Please check back soon.
