The Drive Partnership, formed by Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance, is working to transform the national response to perpetrators of domestic abuse. We work to end domestic abuse and protect victims by disrupting, challenging, and changing the behaviour of those who are causing harm. Together we have developed the Drive Project to address a gap in work with high-harm, high-risk perpetrators of domestic abuse. We also work to advocate for systems and policy change- to develop sustainable, national systems that respond more effectively to all perpetrators of domestic abuse.
In July of this year the Home Office announced a £53m investment over the next four years to enable the Drive Project to roll out across England and Wales. To end domestic abuse, we must address the source of the problem - the perpetrator. This funding will make a huge difference to our efforts to support survivors, by holding perpetrators to account, stopping them from causing further harm and giving them the chance to change.
The Drive Project Manager will play a pivotal role within the Project Management Office (PMO), supporting the successful delivery of key work strands across the partnership. You will work closely with Respect, Safelives, Social Finance and external stakeholders to oversee commissioning contracts, support programme implementation, manage stakeholder relationships, and provide regular progress reports to commissioners.

Bringing love, imagination and kindness to children and families’ services.
Love Squared exists because so many children are brave. Children who, despite overwhelming anxiety, still find the courage to support their friends, join therapeutic groups or offer kindness to others. We work with some of society’s most vulnerable children and young people, including those facing mental health challenges, trauma, special educational needs, disability and neurodivergence. Many cannot access school because there is no suitable place for their needs, or because school is not safe for them. Their families fight every day to get the help their children need, often while facing housing insecurity, exhaustion and systems that can feel indifferent or overwhelming.
At Love Squared, we believe that you have to care deeply if you want to transform outcomes. We bring love, imagination, nurture and bravery to everything we do, creating long-term change for children and families who need understanding most.

We are seeking an exceptional Chief Executive to lead Love Squared through its next stage of growth and development.

You will:
- Lead with courage, curiosity and care, empowering staff, volunteers and partners to deliver excellence.
- Shape and deliver a bold, forward-looking strategy that strengthens impact and secures financial sustainability.
- Be a visible and credible ambassador for Love Squared, helping to build our national profile and champion our values.
- Ensure safeguarding, governance and accountability remain at the heart of all we do.

About you
You will bring:
- Proven senior leadership experience in a values-driven organisation, ideally within charity, education or social care.

- A collaborative leadership style that inspires trust and brings out the best in others.
- A genuine commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and trauma-informed practice.
- Imagination to see opportunities where others see obstacles and resilience to lead with warmth through uncertainty.
