Our vision is a world where women and girls lead safe, just and equal lives.
We achieve this through our mission of delivering systems change and empowering women and children who experience domestic abuse, including those in contact with the criminal justice system, to lead safe, just and equal lives in their communities.
Our expertise lies in decades of providing specialist support by women and for women and girls, to achieve safety, justice and equality at the intersection of domestic abuse and the criminal justice system.
Why work with us?
We are Advance, an organisation working for a safe, just and equal world for women and girls.
We help women and girls who have experienced trauma through domestic abuse and the criminal justice system to rebuild their lives by providing practical and emotional support, wherever and whenever they want it. We understand that they are often facing multiple challenges at once, such as housing, mental health and personal safety, and we ensure their needs are at the heart of everything we do.
We are an innovative and award-winning organisation, led by and for women. You can become part of the Advance team, and join our life-saving and life-changing work, supporting women and children to cope and recover from suffering domestic abuse and those who are at risk of offending or with short term sentences, to rebuild their lives and keep families together.
We recruit people who are passionate about what we do and support them to ensure we are a team that is motivated and committed to learning and sharing.
Working practices
We understand that people have different needs and aim to support our team so that they are able to manage work and home responsibilities effectively.
Our employees’ wellbeing is critical to our ability to operate across all functions and we recognise that all individuals have a life outside of work. Enabling our employees to balance work and their personal life in ways that benefit everyone is in line with our values and enables people to contribute to their best ability. We regard flexible working as important and we try to accommodate flexible working practices where possible and practical.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We value diversity and believe the variety of ideas, perspectives and experiences it brings creates an effective environment in which talents can be fully utilised to achieve our goals.
We are committed to providing equality of opportunity and actively seek to recruit people from groups underrepresented in our current team. We have policies and processes in place to ensure that all employees are offered an equal opportunity in recruitment and selection, promotion, training, pay and benefits.
We are proud to be a disability confident employer.
