At the heart of Sophie Hayes Foundation’s work will be the support to and empowerment of survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking, this role is critical to survivor’s journeys to sustainable freedom.Alongside a small, friendly, and dedicated team, you will coordinate and deliver the Foundation’s programmes for survivors of modern slavery, including our flagship Employability Programme and our brand-new Conversational English for Independence course.
