Volunteer Coordinator — Women's Safety & Empowerment

Wise Women address women’s fears and experiences of crime and violence through the provision of Personal Safety and Confidence Building courses and workshops in local Glasgow communities. Our courses offer support, information, education, skill sharing, awareness raising and techniques for identifying avoiding and escaping potentially dangerous situations as well as challenging damaging women blaming attitudes and building women’s confidence and self-esteem.

The purpose of this post is to deliver Wise Women’s volunteering opportunities, courses and groups to women in the Glasgow area, to develop learning opportunities within the organisation and to link women to external training and learning organisations. This post is office based.
