We are SafeLives, the UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good.
We work with organisations across the UK to transform the response to domestic abuse. We want what you would want for your best friend. We listen to survivors, putting their voices at the heart of our thinking. We look at the whole picture for each individual and family to get the right help at the right time to make families everywhere safe and well. And we challenge perpetrators to change, asking ‘why doesn’t he stop?’ rather than ‘why doesn’t she leave?’ This applies whatever the gender of the victim or perpetrator and whatever the nature of their relationship.
Last year alone, nearly 13,500 professionals received our training. Over 70,000 adults at risk of serious harm or murder and more than 85,000 children received support through dedicated multi-agency support designed by us and delivered with partners. In the last four years, over 2,000 perpetrators have been challenged and supported to change by interventions we created with partners, and that’s just the start.
Together we can end domestic abuse. Forever. For everyone.
You will lead the Practice Team, working nationally and with a strong strategic focus to establish a framework for disseminating best practice, embedding quality and enabling statutory and voluntary sectors to work better together, improving the experience and outcomes for children, adults and families. You will combine comprehensive and innovative practice experience with an entrepreneurial and strategic mind-set, focused on walking alongside partners to devise pragmatic solutions to complex problems.
Our Whole Picture strategy sets out our ambitious vision to end domestic abuse, looking from the perspective of the whole family. The Practice Team is at the heart of transforming the multi-agency response to domestic abuse and how children, adults and families are safeguarded; increasing safety sooner for all those at risk.
As a key outward facing representative of SafeLives and head of an evolving team, your leadership skills will ensure the provision of high-quality support, in strategic and operational environments, locally and nationally, building high trust relationships and securing a strong network across the UK. You will lead the team to work at their best together and act as a critical friend to local areas and services, supporting, advising and guiding them through a combination of free and paid for interactions.
You need exceptional leadership, communication and interpersonal skills; bringing a strength in building relationships with national partners and local areas. You must be dedicated and determined in the development of a coordinated and dynamic response to domestic abuse and related safeguarding complexities.
You will be confident about delivering new and dynamic ways of working in fast changing, challenging and untested environments. You will live our values, and lead a team who are part of building a culture where agencies working together to safeguard and end domestic abuse offer a compassionate, consistent and high quality response to victims, survivors, and their families.
Benefits include a generous package including 25 (FTE) days' holiday a year and public holidays, employee pension scheme with 4% employer contribution, Cycle2Work scheme, 365 days a year Employee Assistance Programme.
If this challenge sounds as exciting to you as it does to us and you believe you have the qualities we have described, please take a look over the job description and submit a 500-word cover letter, CV and equal opportunity form.

Position overview
This is a rare opportunity to work in the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF): one of the world's leading non-profits working at the intersection of environmental conservation and human rights.
This is a campaigner role, working in EJF’s international ocean team, whose work includes documenting illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and associated human rights abuses. The team then uses this evidence to advocate for policy changes with governments and improved corporate practices in the seafood sector. A particular emphasis in this government and industry engagement is the need for greater transparency in global fisheries through the adoption of EJF’s Charter for Transparency. The role will have a focus on engagement with European governments and industry groups, but also work closely across our global ocean campaign.
The role offers unique opportunities for career growth and personal development, working closely with a motivated and talented team of ocean campaigners working in Europe, Africa and Asia. The role will also work in coalitions with other leading NGOs that work in the sector. This is a challenging but rewarding role, giving insights and experience rarely available in the sector.
EJF is lean, agile, creative, strategic and most of all results driven. Join our world-leading professional team to help protect people, wildlife, wild places and our shared natural world.
Key responsibilities:
● Draft and implement campaign strategies for EJF’s work to combat IUU fishing and associated human rights abuses.
● Work within coalitions of NGOs working to improve measures to combat IUU fishing.
● Develop close relationships with key decision makers in European governments relevant to EJF’s work combating IUU fishing.
● Work with EJF offices and other NGOs around the world to document evidence of IUU fishing and human trafficking in the seafood industry that can then be presented to governments and industry in Europe.
● Use strong research and writing skills to convey EJF’s findings and recommendations, ensuring the highest standards of factual accuracy and integrity across our studies and documentation.
● Give articulate and forceful presentations and effective messaging, across all platforms.
● Report regularly, in detail to Directors and Management team.
Essential skills and attributes:
● You will have at least three years’ professional experience delivering measurable, high-impact outputs and positive outcomes for environmental or human rights campaigns or in other related disciplines.
● You enjoy research and understand the fundamental need for attention to detail and factual accuracy.
● You have a passion for writing and presenting to diverse audiences to secure their understanding, respect and support for your campaigns.
● You understand the need for creative thinking to resolve issues and have experience in building effective strategies for the delivery of core messages.
● You are happy to face challenging issues, to be a problem-solver and use tact and diplomacy to build productive partnerships and alliances, and to think creatively to generate coalitions and build audiences; you understand the need to work with integrity, tenacity and determination to secure positive change.
● You will be able to travel frequently, often at short notice.
● You enjoy working independently with minimal direction; you have great interpersonal skills and are happy to coordinate and share your work with the team.
● You take pride in delivering agreed outcomes on time and on budget, at times managing multiple projects and tight deadlines and knowing how to prioritize your workload.
● You are entirely comfortable taking direction, working in a team, with equal ability to work independently, taking initiative and responsibility.
● You appreciate the constraints of working in a smaller non-profit, and how to leverage cost-efficient outcomes where creativity, dynamism and flexibility rather than big budgets are the key to success.
● You speak and write English with complete fluency and you enjoy communicating with colleagues, the public and other audiences to inspire support for the environment, wildlife and human rights.
Desirable skills:
● Experience working on fisheries policy, including on the issue of IUU fishing.
● Experience working with or within EU institutions.
● Proficiency in French, German, Spanish or other language of a key EU Member State
