The mission of Everyman Project is to benefit the community by eradicating domestic violence and abuse and by relieving victims from the effects of violence and abuse. It does this by providing in-depth counselling to people who want help to change their violent and abusive behaviours, as well as by offering practical and therapeutic support to survivors of domestic violence. The counselling programme consists of a series of one-to-one counselling sessions followed by a series of group counselling sessions. First registered with the Charity Commission in 1996, Everyman Project is a long established charity. The Trustees registered the charity with Companies House in 2005 to additionally become a limited company. Referrals come from Social Services, GPs, family and criminal courts, solicitors, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, as well as self-referrers who find EP by word of mouth and by the website.
Each year around 2.1m people suffer domestic abuse. The Early Intervention Foundation estimated that in 2016-17, late intervention in domestic violence and abuse cases would cost the NHS £2,479 million, police £879 million, justice system £1,230 million, and local government £642 million. Evidence suggests that re-offending rates are high, and by some estimates, they are higher than for any other category of offending. Everyman Project enables individuals stuck in cycles of violence to reclaim their lives and often the lives of their loved ones by breaking cycles of domestic and other interpersonal violence.
The founder and current leading member of staff intends to retire this year, and the Board of Trustees/Directors is seeking to replace him with a dynamic new CEO, able to lead and promote the organisation effectively and provide the vision necessary to take the organisation forward. This will initially be a part time post, starting at the equivalent of two days per week, possibly increasing in line with the resources of the company and the preferences of the post holder. Pending satisfactory performance at the 6 month review, the post will be ongoing. The Board acknowledges that the current level of part time working and salary (£36,000 pa, FTE) are themselves insufficient remuneration for the challenges the CEO would have to face. That is why candidates must be motivated to help the community by making a positive difference to the domestic violence sector. If the CEO is successful at fundraising, greater remuneration would be readily approved by the Board.
With the support of a capable and motivated new CEO, Everyman Project will be able to develop and grow to be of even greater benefit to the community. The successful applicant will be rewarded with a role enabling her or him to make a significant positive impact on the lives of many individuals, as well as on their children and partners, and indeed on the wider community, by working towards relieving the affliction of interpersonal violence, and in particular domestic violence.

Street Child, a rapidly expanding global children's charity, are searching for an outstanding professional to lead our group marketing, media and communications (MMC) work - and take it to the next level, at a vital 'acceleration moment' in our organisation's development and impact.
We are looking for an energetic and imaginative communicator who will transform our MMC output by boldly, memorably and urgently carrying the case for Street Child’s cause and work - as far and wide as possible.
We need someone who can both roll their sleeves up; and work strategically. This role is for someone excited to be hands-on, 'leading through doing' with writing, designing, working with media contacts and leading a high-quality small team every day; but who can equally plan, coach, ideate, advise and strategize.
This vital role will report directly to our CEO; work intimately every day with UK fundraising; and provide frequent support to programmes and fundraising colleagues, globally.
The scope of this role is broad, almost insanely so ...
Geographically, Street Child UK is the 'mothership' for a diffuse global organisation whose programmatic and/or fundraising footprint extends over c.30 countries. The focus of the role at this stage is UK-centric activity; but advising, supporting, and working on the brand and MMC across the entire global group is also a key aspect. Moreover, supporting our key local NGO partners in effective MMC is also a central plank of our partnership offering, which in turn sits at the heart of our entire global strategy.
The role spans the entire range of the group's media, marketing & external communications:
- Website & social media channels - ensuring compelling, attractive, imaginative content that excites our audiences and pushes them towards deeper engagement;
- Third-party media - working to see Street Child's work, issues and perspectives covered as deeply, prominently widely as possible by highly credible and high-circulation/viewer media outlets;
- Physical & e-publications - helping ensure the organisation presents itself as well as possible, especially to professional audiences, with excellent publications and assets (e.g. annual review, summary documents, programmes reports and insight paper);
- Digital marketing - driving fundraising and event-recruitment through excellent digital activity;
- Campaign design - working with fundraising and other senior colleagues to imagine, design and execute brilliant campaigns;
- Advocacy - to work with senior programmes and policy colleagues to capture Street Child's key messages and perspectives and support their targeted and/or prominent amplification
- Brand - global brand guardian and lead; working to curate the strongest and most effective brand identity for the organisation;
Realistically, we know this is a super broad portfolio and set of challenges. And there are very few professionals with deep expertise and experience across all these areas. So what we are looking for is this:
- Someone who is excited, more than daunted, by the breadth of this! And, along with the generic skills and willingness to lead across the full breadth;
- Clearly brings impressive skills to at least one or two of the key aspects of the brief - of particular interest would be professionals with strong proven abilities to drive third-party media exposure &/or digital marketing;
- Key personal qualities: imagination, creativity, ambition; commitment to cause; collegiality; professionalism; flexibility.
A strong writer is preferred; but not essential if bringing great qualities in other key areas (e.g. digital or creative).
The final key aspect to highlight is the unique opportunity afforded by the charity's intimate and open-ended relationship with Liberty Global plc (following the merger of Lessons for Life, who LG helped found and massively backed, into Street Child in 2019). The MMC possibilities inherent in this relationship are significant, as is the willingness of LG to help pursue them. Ideas, willingness and the ability to work closely with LG, and those in their extensive networks, to drive great MMC outcomes is also critical.
The salary band for this role is deliberately broad as we can envisage a range of suitable candidates, and are not set at all on any particular path. A candidate with less experience could blow us away with their ideas and drive - but may need to convince on their ability to lead and manage effectively across the whole piece. A professional coming with a fantastic high-level track-record may deeply impress - but could also need to convince us of their ability and desire to roll sleeves up and work hands-on. Either way, we aim to pay attractively and the salary offered will depend on the profile and experience of the candidate appointed.
An optimal location for this role would be in London, with a willingness to work in our London office three, or more, days of the week. Other arrangements, UK or global, will be considered however for an exceptional candidate. We would also be willing to consider fantastic candidates preferring to work only 3 or 4 days a week.
Street Child began working in Sierra Leone in 2008 with one project for 100 children. In 2021 Street Child expects to make a material contribution to the education of half a million children in c.20 countries - and help over a million children by 2023. Powerful, imaginative, professional, and at times brave, communications and story-telling have been a key driver in our early development - and will be equally critical if we are to continue to grow our impact for children living in the world's toughest contexts. This role is your unique opportunity to lead in this key area.
To apply, please visit our website where you will find details on how to submit your CV and a brief covering note explaining why you think you could make an extraordinary impact in this role - ideally ASAP. We are reviewing applications and interviewing on a rolling basis.
Pre-employment checks will be required as part of our recruitment process in line with our Safeguarding Policy. Street Child welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age.
Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of e... Read more
