Hello, I'm Saskia – Chief Executive at My CWA. Thank you for your interest in joining the team. Let me set out why we do what we do, and why we’d love to have you on board.
We are My CWA (formerly know as Cheshire Without Abuse), a Cheshire-based charity. We've been helping people impacted by domestic abuse since 1977.
Every year we help thousands of adults and children across the county through a wide range of services. These include crisis accommodation, a 24-hour helpline, recovery programmes, practical everyday support, and also behaviour change programmes for people who harm.
We're a close-knit, supportive bunch at My CWA and we value each and every member of our team. We hold a gold standard award from Investors in People, demonstrating our dedication to our employees. Here your skills and talent can help those impacted by domestic abuse – the survivors, their children and those who harm and want to change their behaviour.
Having experienced domestic abuse during my late teens and entered refuge accommodation along with my three children aged 21, I have made a life-long commitment to helping others and I believe passionately that we can build a community where adults and children live free from the fear of domestic abuse. I am extremely proud of our team, staff and volunteers who work tirelessly towards this vision.
