Jobs and volunteering
Ella’s works with survivors of trafficking and sexual exploitation. The need is urgent and vast, and we do all we can to meet that need.
We are a passionate, growing organisation. Last time we asked, 100 per cent of our staff said they’d recommend Ella’s as a place to work. As a team, we are strong, women-led, authentic, professional and supportive of one another. Join us, take the next step in your career and be a crucial part of ensuring survivors have all they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free.

We're looking for an experienced and organised Resettlement Caseworker to support survivors of trafficking and other forms of violence at a key point in their journey.

survivor advisory board member
Our Survivor Advisory Board brings together women with lived experience to advise Ella's on how we support survivors. Members have helped shape our safe houses, services, hiring, fundraising, how we talk about our work and more. An external facilitator runs each meeting. Our Co-Directors join to listen and always report back on what has changed, and other staff sometimes come to present their work and hear your ideas. Meetings are relaxed and friendly, with lunch and snacks provided, and you can share as much or as little as you want.
If you want to use your experience to help other women, email our Survivor Advisory Board Coordinator, Emily Clifford, at emilyclifford@ellas.org.uk for an informal, confidential chat.
Volunteering
We’re grateful to have some amazing volunteers who make a huge contribution to our work with survivors, both on the frontline and behind the scenes. We also accept university students on placement during courses such as psychology and social work.
We are unable to accept general volunteers at the moment, but we will update this page once our needs change.
Chair of Trustees
The Chair of Trustees is a vital leadership role that ensures the board operates effectively and collaboratively while providing strategic oversight to achieve Ella’s mission and goals. The Chair works closely with trustees, directors, and staff to create a culture of excellence, accountability, and service-user focus.
We would particularly love to hear from people who have benefited from a service like Ella’s, so we can learn from your lived experience.
We will provide any required access and support to ensure equality of opportunity for anyone wishing to be a trustee. In line with our values and equal opportunities policy, we welcome applications from all individuals interested in this position, regardless of background, race, religion, or anything else.
