Your new company
A newly opened, trauma-informed, women-only accommodation based in the centre of Plymouth. It provides a safe and secure environment where women can find rest, peace, and stability as they begin their journey of recovery from trauma, abuse, and substance misuse.
This service offers a vital alternative to unsafe living arrangements, where women may otherwise be sofa surfing or staying in perpetrators’ homes, often at high risk of domestic and sexual violence. It gives women the space to address their trauma, understand how it manifests, and take positive steps forward in life.

- Building trusting, respectful relationships with residents

- Passionate about supporting women and promoting recovery
- Trauma-informed, empathetic, and non-judgemental
- Experienced in working with vulnerable individuals or within safeguarding settings
- A confident communicator with strong boundaries and emotional resilience
- Flexible and reliable, with availability for shift work including evenings and weekends
