To work with school-age children and young people (CYP) across Gwent by addressing issues related to domestic abuse, unhealthy relationships, and gender-based violence. The initiative seeks to raise awareness of Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (VAWDASV), promote healthy relationship values, and challenge harmful gender and social norms that contribute to abuse and violence within society.
Delivered by a dedicated team of four Domestic Abuse Children and Young People (DACYP) Support Workers, the programme will provide a mix of interactive awareness-raising sessions, early intervention group work, and one-to-one brief support interventions. The team will work across a range of settings including mainstream schools, youth groups, EOTAS (Education Otherwise Than At School) environments, and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs), ensuring the support reaches high-risk and vulnerable groups.
Through educational sessions and group activities, CYP will be empowered to critically reflect on gender stereotypes, understand the dynamics of healthy vs unhealthy relationships, and learn how to manage their feelings in positive and safe ways. The programme also aims to connect those already affected by abuse with appropriate local support services, helping ensure no CYP is left unsupported.
Another key focus is encouraging CYP to take the lead in making a difference in their communities. They will have the chance to become “Youth VAWDASV Ambassadors” — helping to spread awareness, support their friends, and speak out against harmful behaviours. By working with local groups and creating youth-friendly resources, they’ll play a key role in promoting respect and kindness among their peers.
Due to the personal care needs of the people we support, this role is exempt under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, and Part 1. Section 7(2)(e) of the Sex Discrimination Act 1975, and is therefore open to female applicants only.
Interviews for these roles will take place on Tuesday 11th November and applicants must be available to attend.
At Llamau we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. But for thousands of the most vulnerable people in Wales, homelessness is a frightening reality.
30 years ago Llamau was founded to provide homeless teenagers with a safe place to stay. Since then, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women and their children who are either homeless or facing homelessness.
Many people think the job of a homelessness charity will be to provide accommodation - a safe place to stay. But it is very clear to us that for most people who are facing homelessness, their problems are far more complex than a lack of permanent shelter.
That's why we treat everyone who needs our support as an individual. We recognise their unique strengths and needs and make sure that they are supported to rebuild their futures.
