Diversity matters
and we value it
Work for us
Victim Support is an independent
charity that has been helping victims
and witnesses for 40 years. We
provide a wide range of outstanding
services to thousands of people
affected by crime.
We have opportunities all over
England and Wales for you to join
Victim Support and make a big
difference to the lives of people
affected by crime. If you’re looking for
the next challenging and rewarding
step in your career we can give you
training, opportunities and a great
working environment.
We pride ourselves on the work we
do in local communities and our
provision of accessible and consistent
services across the country. This
helps us reach out to people in need,
whatever their circumstances.
How to apply
For more information about Victim Support including our job and volunteering
opportunities, please visit
to give advice and support, and address
any issues facing its staff and volunteers
who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans.
The organisation also works hard to
ensure LGB & T victims are supported
appropriately and works hard to ensure
the organisation is inclusive in its service
delivery. This includes the provision
of services to victims of homophobic,
biphobic and transphobic crime.
This is Victim Support’s sixth year in a
row in the Top 100 index and the charity
has been steadily rising in the ranking
from 92nd place in its first appearance
to 14th place in 2015, jumping 58 places
in a single year.
Adam Pemberton, Victim Support’s
assistant chief executive and LGBT
Ambassador in the charity, said:
“Reaching Stonewall’s top 20 employers
this year is a fantastic result for Victim
Support and recognition of everything
we do to make sure we are an inclusive
workplace.
“We are proud of this achievement which
is also reflected in the support we offer
to all victims of crime regardless of their
sexual orientation or any other diversity
issues.”
