April 2026

We are looking for 2 compassionate, highly motivated and skilled individuals to join our Adult Services Team in our Eve’s Space Project and our Children and Families Team in our RUNA Project.

Eve’s Space is our Women-led service providing a clear gendered approach in supporting the women we work with through a safe, trauma informed approach. We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate women’s worker to join us.

RUNA focuses on supporting families, children and young people who are affected by periods of missing from home and the risks associated. The job involves empowering young people to have a voice and to be listened to through the delivery of independent return interviews. RUNA provides bespoke, one-to-one support, and contributes to a multi-agency safeguarding response.

The successful candidates for both positions will be passionate about developing our work in providing life-transformational support to those afflicted by poverty and disadvantage in our town, as a practical expression of the Christian faith we share. They will help individuals to develop strategies to overcome the difficulties they are facing, make positive life-style changes to reduce the risk of further issues arising and to live healthy, safe and rewarding lives.

Ideally, these positions are full time (35hrs per week), however part-time may be considered. Following the probationary period, the full-time salary for each position is £24,486 pa.

If you would like to discuss these roles further, you can get in touch with Nicola Gillard (Chief Operations Officer) on 01204 385848 during office hours or email on nicola.gillard@urbanoutreach.co.uk.
