About the organisation

Ella’s is a London-based organisation working with women who have survived trafficking and sexual exploitation. Our mission is to do everything we can to ensure survivors have all they need to recover and build lives that are safe and free.

Here is a summary of our main activities:

  • We run three safe houses. This supported accommodation is crucial for survivors of trafficking and exploitation, until they are ready and able to live independently.
  • We provide regular support for women and families in neighbourhoods across London, and many more further afield when they need us.
  • We speak out on issues affecting the women we work with. We care deeply about survivors of trafficking and exploitation and want to see a world where these crimes are not tolerated.

Ella’s is an equal opportunities employer. We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities, as we believe having a diverse team adds value and positively impacts our service. We actively encourage applicants from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ applicants and those with disabilities. We are committed to equality and diversity within our organisation.
