Senior Practice Development Lead (National Systems Change programme)
Home working with travel throughout England and Wales
Full time (part time considered)
£48,734 - £49,771 per year plus LW if appropriate, pro rata
Fixed term contract 6 months (asap to - June 2026)
In terms of travel, we would estimate that the successful candidate would need to be able to travel
around 1-2 days a month to delivery sites and/or head office for meetings.
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 2025 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 National Systems Change programme is currently focused on four systemic gaps: Children’s Social Care, Housing, LGBT+ communities, and Racialised Communities. Sitting within this programme you will play a key lead role in progressing our work on improving responses to domestic abuse for minoritised communities.
Your remit includes line managing the National Systems Change Practice Development Leads (NSCPDL), supporting both the Head of NSC and the Practice Manager in addressing systemic gaps in the provision of services. You will also work alongside key stakeholders and partners, including commissioned projects, and victim survivor groups, to enable long term systems change.
The successful candidate is likely to bring knowledge and experience of working within the domestic abuse sector, experience of working with multi-agency partnerships and/or other voluntary and statutory services involved in the response to domestic abuse.
An understanding of systems change and working with perpetrators and/or victims of domestic abuse (including those with protected characteristics, e.g. racialised communities, LGBTQ+ people, or people with related/complex needs such as substance misuse issues, mental health) would be welcomed.

To be successful, it is important that you have:
- Significant experience in institutional and/or philanthropic fundraising, with a proven track record of generating substantial income.
- Strong ability to build partnerships and develop compelling, fundable proposals with clear budgets and value propositions.
- Excellent account management skills with partners and donors across diverse sectors, including governments, institutions, private foundations and corporates such as the Clinton Foundation, Google, AWS, and ECHO, with particular experience in working with FCDO and other institutional donors.

- We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
- We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.
Closing date: 5th January 2026

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.
This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
