Our Team Culture

At Safer Places, our team are our most important resource and a real asset to us. Having a highly competent, survivor focused, experienced and resourceful team is key to delivering a high quality service. We are proud of our team and our organisational culture is really important to us. We value diversity and recognise the strengths that different life and work experiences bring and so welcome applications from people of all work and educational as well as all other backgrounds.

Working for Safer Places is no ordinary job. Every role in our organisation plays a part in delivering on our Mission. We work hard to create an environment that inspires and empowers staff to give their best and we recognise that working with survivors who have experienced profound trauma and injustice is complex and challenging. We are committed to supporting our staff and to providing continued professional development and offer an excellent range of training and qualification packages.

In our last staff survey 100% of our staff said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their job. The survey was overwhelmingly positive with staff expressing very high levels of pride in Safer Places and a great sense of belonging.
