Trainer - Homelessness & Multiple Disadvantage

Closing Date: 16th July 2025

About Us

At Standing Together, we believe no one should live in fear, yet domestic abuse affects millions of people, often hidden in plain sight.

We don't provide frontline services. Instead, we work behind the scenes to change the systems that too often fail survivors; from housing and health to policing, social care and beyond.

As a second-tier organisation, we support and strengthen the work of others. We bring agencies together, build skills, offer expert consultancy and drive improvements in policy and practice so that people facing abuse get better, more joined-up support wherever they live.

We're best known for developing the Coordinated Community Response (CCR) a powerful model that gets services working together to prevent harm and keep people safe. It's now recognised across the UK and shapes everything we do.

Our work is proudly feminist and anti-racist. We know abuse doesn't exist in a vacuum it's linked to inequality, discrimination and injustice. That's why we're building a team that reflects the communities we serve, with space for diverse voices and lived experience.

We're remote-based but closely connected through shared values, mutual respect and a deep belief in the power of system change.

We stand with survivors. We stand for justice. We stand together for change. To read more about our amazing work click here.

The Opportunity

Be part of a national team improving how services respond to domestic abuse.

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated candidate to join our Housing team at Standing Together. If you are someone who shares our passion to improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable groups then we would love to hear from you.

We are looking for an experienced trainer to come on board and lead on the delivery and development of our bespoke suite of training for frontline homelessness/rough sleeping teams and supported accommodation organisations. You will work within the Multiple Disadvantage & Homelessness Team at STADA; a team which focuses on transforming the housing and support available to survivors of domestic abuse experiencing multiple disadvantage.

We are looking for a creative and passionate, motivated, and engaging person who truly understands and can clearly communicate to learners the impact of domestic abuse on individuals experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantage and can support frontline workers in homelessness settings to identify and respond to domestic abuse as part of a Coordinated Community Response.
