About us

Changing Lives is a nationwide charity helping people facing the most challenging of circumstances to make positive change - for good. We believe that everyone deserves a safe home, a rewarding job and a life free from addiction or abuse. We know that given the right support, anyone can change their life for the better.

Our services across the country help thousands of people each year who are experiencing a wide range of complicated challenges, including homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, unemployment, involvement with the criminal justice system, sexual exploitation and domestic abuse. By focusing on their strengths, potential and opportunities, we support the people we work with to overcome their problems and live safe, successful, independent lives.

Our charity is powered by over 600 passionate colleagues who bring a diverse and inclusive environment for our colleagues to grow. We are proud to say that many have actual lived experience of the challenges faced by those we support. We are looking for committed and compassionate professionals to join our team, who share our enthusiasm for changing lives.

About the Service - Women and Children's Services

We run services and dedicated women’s centres for those who are at risk or struggling with challenging circumstances, including women in the criminal justice system and those with experience of trauma, selling sex or sexual exploitation.

We understand that women and girls have experiences which are different to men and can experience vulnerabilities that are specific to their gender. Childhood abuse and domestic abuse are common features in the lives of the women we support which impact on their health and wellbeing. Underpinning all our services is an in-depth understanding of trauma and a focus on recovery, resilience and community integration.

About the Job

Changing Lives has been commissioned by the North Yorkshire Police, Fire, and Crime Commissioner to co-ordinate the newly refurbished York Women’s Wellness Centre (WWC). The WWC is a community venue that provides holistic, trauma-informed support pathways for women facing multiple disadvantage in York including multiple and complex needs, women with criminal justice involvement and women who are chronically excluded. Changing Lives has also developed partnerships with other local organisations, who are offering groups and support from the WWC. Ultimately, the WWC is a place where women can gather together to seek support, develop peer networks, and enjoy time in a safe, non-judgemental, women-only space. Our aims are to address substance misuse, mental health problems, improve family contact, build skills in emotion management, supporting women to build and maintain a pro-social identity, help women to build social capital and to help women achieve their personal goals.
