Employer Bio

As a small independent charity founded in 1998, SLDAS offer free and accessible support to women who experience domestic abuse in South and South-Central Liverpool. They provide volunteering and training opportunities to women who are concerned about the issues of domestic abuse experienced by women and children, as well as work to raise public awareness of domestic abuse in our local communities.

They currently employ a team of five staff who support the running of the service, including a director who joined them in April 2023, responsible for managing and developing the staff and service, and developing the strategic direction of the charity alongside the Trustees.

SLDAS is mainly funded by a number of local authority and other national grant providers with an interest in domestic abuse.  There are plans to source new multi-year funding to expand their services, making this an exciting time to join us on the board of Trustees.

Domestic abuse has a devastating impact upon individuals, families and communities. Year on year, recorded incidents of domestic abuse have increased in Merseyside and also rose sharply during the pandemic.  Women are falling through the net and they want to do more to help them.

Job Summary

• Develop individual support plans which address the risk of harm, and to offer information, advocacy and signposting to survivors on a risk/need led basis.
