Your approach will be collaborative, survivor-centred and driven by SEA’s values.

• A confident communicator with strong relationship-building skills
• A commitment to SEA’s feminist ethos, values and mission
•

About the role

This is a hands-on, people-focused role at the heart of our programme delivery. As Programme Manager, you’ll work closely with communities, colleagues, volunteers, and partners to co-create and deliver meaningful programmes that centre on women’s voices and lived experience.
