Previous Job Next Job VOICES Centre Administrator Job Pack About VOICES VOICES was founded in 2014 by a group of women who had experienced domestic abuse. Details of their founding principles and values can be seen on our website https://www.voicescharity.org/ VOICES has progressed to become a nationally relevant centre of excellence in trauma recovery after domestic abuse, with a growing range of trauma-informed, holistic services with and for survivors. During lockdown, the charity’s vision of a Safe Space Centre where survivors of domestic and sexual abuse can receive specialist, multi-faceted support became a reality when it acquired dedicated premises in Bath and opened in January 2022. VOICES Values Framework Lived experience is at the heart of all we do. Our approach is strengths-based, person-centred and recovery-focused. We subscribe to the No Them and Us approach, as Domestic Abuse can affect anyone and can inform and enrich the approaches of professionals and volunteers working with VOICES. We believe that an understanding of the long-term impacts of trauma and injustice/re-traumatisation through systemic or professional responses is essential for VOICES to provide a trauma-informed environment for clients, staff, trustees and volunteers. We strive to uphold inclusivity, equity, equality and diversity. Our principal focus as a charity founded by and for women impacted by domestic abuse is to create a Centre of Excellence, with physical premises that address the specific needs of women and girls impacted by domestic abuse first and foremost, while championing all survivors’ needs for appropriate and timely support and empowerment after abuse and working with partners to achieve this. VOICES believes in creating a working environment of mutual respect and compassion. Funding supervision and support for staff and volunteers is seen as essential to ensure the wellbeing of all. VOICES strives to provide a working environment that is supportive of staff who have parenting and caring responsibilities and is flexible and inclusive. The volunteer and consultation work should be as effective as possible in providing routes into working with the charity and promoting the empowerment of those with lived experience. The development model for VOICES aims to enable effective team work and line management as well as collaborative ways of working. The growth model for VOICES prioritises the development of a unique combination of services - lived experience-based training & consultation and peer support alongside holistic, long-term support for clients - rather than the expansion of client-related support services only. This reflects our understanding that the lived experience of service users must inform policy makers and services if the response to domestic abuse is to improve and meet the needs of those affected Job Description and Person Specification Job Title: Centre Administrator/Reception role Location: Office based - VOICES’ premises in Bath Responsible to: Executive Officer Contract: Permanent Hours: Part-time, 30 hours per week, Monday-Friday Salary: £22,500-24,000 per annum depending on experience Benefits: 25 days holiday, bank holidays, pension scheme, staff wellness fund Closing date: 5pm 30 November 2022.

The role will allow scope for a committed and outgoing individual to develop skills and knowledge around premises administration and the development of a trauma informed environment in a unique setting and as a key member of a small charity team.
