Jobs and volunteering

Ella’s works with survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation. The need is urgent and vast, and we do all we can to meet that need. 

We are a passionate, growing organisation. Last time we asked, 100 per cent of our staff said they’d recommend Ella’s as a place to work. As a team, we are strong, women-led, authentic, professional and supportive of one another. Join us, take the next step in your career and be a crucial part of ensuring survivors have all they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free.

ROLE: COMMUNITY SESSION LEADER

We run a range of one-off and regular workshops and activities for the women we work with, to help them build knowledge, skills and confidence, keep active or just have fun. These happen online as well as in person (covid allowing), and range from yoga and cookery through to CV writing and job interview practice. If you have a particular skill to share and would like to explore the possibility of facilitating a session, please get in touch. Please be aware, all Ella’s volunteers will be asked to go through a DBS check.
