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.
