A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time.

Registered Charity Nos. 1072612 (England and Wales) SC043677 (Scotland)

Background to the role:

Suzy Lamplugh Trust is the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, established in 1986 following the disappearance of 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh whilst at work. We work towards creating a society in which people are safer - and feel safer - from the prevalence of stalking, harassment, aggression and violence, achieved through supporting people; education; and campaigning.

Over the last two years, the Trust’s policy and development function has continued to develop and deliver hard hitting campaigns and projects. In addition to our personal safety and stalking training, we are now delivering more bespoke consultancy services to organisations, in order to improve personal safety in the workplace, which we hope to continue to grow in the coming years. The Trust’s policy function also continues to deliver personal safety projects to small charities and communities at risk of violence and aggression, such as young people facing homelessness.

Building on the success of our annual National Personal Safety Day campaigns, National Stalking Awareness Week and leadership of the National Stalking Consortium, we have secured a further three-year grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation to accelerate our campaigning on stalking. We have also identified a need to build up our evidence base on broader personal safety issues in order to increase our campaigning on personal safety at work, safer transport and online safety.

We are looking for an ambitious, dynamic leader to lead this team and ensure that its work has maximum impact and is embedded into the core output of the charity.

Overall purpose of role:
