Respect is a pioneering UK membership organisation in the domestic abuse sector. Founded in 2000, we have built our expertise over the last 23 years in what was then a fledgling sector.
Our vision is to end domestic abuse. It's a simple ask and a daunting task. We know it will take generations of hard work to get there. In the meantime, we want to live in a world where domestic abuse is not tolerated where perpetrators are held to account and survivors' safety and wellbeing is centred.
We are a growing charity and one that is focussed on tackling domestic abuse by holding perpetrators to account and working with young people who use violence in their close relationships. We are a second tier organisation whose key purpose is to support our sector to grow and thrive; to innovate and act as a catalyst for the development of practice and good quality service provision; and to influence public policy and bring about social change.
Over the last 7 years have grown our annual turnover from £750k a year to over £3m.
The management of our finances is of fundamental importance to making the best use of the resources, plan for our future, and to enable robust and timely decision making. As we grow and develop as an organisation we need to ensure that our financial procedures and processes are developed and maintained, along with concise and accurate reporting to funders, our leadership teams and our Board.
Operations is also a crucial area of our work. We have a brilliant and inspirational staff team, a positive working environment and a culture of listening, learning and development. This leadership role is critical in maintaining our organisational culture.
We have recently published a bold and ambitious 5 year strategy (2023-2028) and we are looking for someone to build on the existing work of our finance team, identify areas for improvement and develop our finance systems allowing us to make strategic evidence based financial decisions, helping to shape the use of our resources and the direction of the charity.
