• Financially competent with experience of budgetary control, reading management accounts and reporting to trustees.
• Excellent communicator, credible at both operational detail and strategic discussion, with highly developed stakeholder engagement skills.
• Knowledge of domestic abuse and trauma-informed approaches is essential (practical experience in the VAWG sector strongly preferred).
• Commitment to equality, diversity and survivor-centred practice and the ability to travel across the boroughs and work flexibly.
