Since being established in 1974, Leeway has grown to become the largest specialist domestic abuse charity in Norfolk. We have a team of more than 60 staff, as well as a large group of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. If you think you have what it takes to help us make a difference, there are a number of ways you can help us.
We are regularly looking for talented individuals to join the Leeway team. Due to an increase in the level of service we are able to provide, we are currently recruiting for the following roles.
Having recently undertaken a governance review we currently have a vacancy for a volunteer to join the Management Committee who ideally has had some experience of being involved at a board level.
The skills and expertise we will consider particularly are:
We would welcome any applicants from ethnic minority groups and in addition those who have had some previous experience in chairing meetings or have been a chair of another organisation in the past.
Management Committee meetings are at present held in Norwich approximately six to eight times per year for a maximum of two hours in the evening.

Volunteers play an important role in the development of Leeway and their work allows us to strengthen our voice and support more people experiencing domestic abuse. With no time commitment required for some of our roles and a busy calendar of events, we always have opportunities which you may be able to help us with across Norfolk and Suffolk.

“I firmly believe that spreading awareness about domestic abuse is vitally important. I want as many people as possible to learn about Leeway and its wonderful services, so they know that they are not alone and help is available, should they need it. I’d like to think that there is a tiny drop of my own contribution in the big battle with ending domestic abuse.”

“A worthy cause that does an excellent job and is worth supporting.”

“I had to flee from domestic violence with my children so I have some insight into the life of other woman and children who live in the refuge. I volunteer with Leeway because I wanted to give something back. I felt welcomed into Leeway from day one and I can honestly say I have got more back than I have ever given. Seeing the pleasure on children's faces at play groups and seeing mothers being able to enjoy family life again in a safe place is priceless. I feel proud to be part of that and to be part of the Leeway family.”
