About us:

Endometriosis UK is the leading UK charity that supports those living with endometriosis.

We have a big job to do and ambitious plans.

It is an exciting time for endometriosis care in Scotland. The Scottish Government recently launched a new Women’s Health Strategy including ambitions to improve endometriosis care and reduce diagnosis time. We look forward to continuing our work with the Scottish government, NHS Scotland and other stakeholders to make this a reality.

RoadPeace has an exciting opportunity for a compassionate individual to join our organisation and make a significant difference to our charity and to the lives of the road crash victims we support. This is a new position and the postholder will play a key role in developing and expanding our fundraising activities.

Sexual violence against children and adolescents (SVAC) is one of the largest silent pandemics of our time. It is a problem that festers in homes, online, and in communities in every country on Earth. To end this silent pandemic, a NEW global networked movement of survivors and allies is being created to drive advocacy and campaigns as a powerful voice for transformative change. 

Working with the direction of global survivors and allied partners, this newly forming movement will demand an end to the pandemic of sexual violence through advocacy for bold public policy solutions and campaigns to shift societal norms, eradicate survivor stigma and break the conspiracy of silence that enables sexual violence to continue. Our movement is mobilizing survivors and allies that are globally connected, nationally coordinated, and locally grounded.

The Movement Executive Coordinator works with and supports three key stakeholder and governance groups:

• Movement Action Team (MAT): This team of movement staff and consultants (a.k.a. Secretariat) will drive the day-to-day work of the global movement.
• Global Survivors Advocacy Group (SAG): This group includes 15 survivor advocacy leaders from around the world; it defines the vision and priorities for the movement.
• Global Steering Group (GSG): This group will include representatives from the SAG and also large, global organizations; it is a decision-making body and it will determine priority campaigns and advocacy efforts.

The Movement Executive Coordinator’s direct supervisor will be the Chairperson of the GSG.  Initial members of the GSG are selected representatives from The Army of Survivors, ECPAT International, End Violence Lab at the University of Edinburgh, Girls Not Brides, Together for Girls, We Protect Global Alliance, World Vision International and representatives from the Global Survivors Advocacy Group.

Role Context

The Movement Executive Coordinator will coordinate and oversee the movement’s inception, development and expansion, being both a leader and a facilitator of this movement.

This global movement has received a funding commitment for its initial 4 years, which is a rare and unique opportunity for a start-up.  A $10.3 Million grant has been secured from the Oak Foundation that will flow through Together for Girls from 2021-2025.  As part of this effort, the Movement Executive Coordinator will manage a campaign budget of approximately $1.9 Million once allocated. The movement is looking for other funding partners to expand investments as it establishes and grows its strategy. 

As the leader of a newly formed expanding movement, the Movement Executive Coordinator will be a seasoned entrepreneurial leader, who will support the development of the strategy. They will hire, supervise, and empower key staff and consultants that will operate on a Movement Action Team (MAT) to achieve the goals of the movement.  Experience working on ending sexual violence against children and adolescents (ESVAC) prevention, healing, and justice, would be interesting but not required.  More so required for success in this position are political savvy, strong campaign vision, and energetic and charismatic movement building qualities to help build this new exciting team and to drive advocacy and campaigns to end sexual violence against children. A long term commitment to measured impact is essential.
