You will work closely with frontline staff, safeguarding leads, and leadership to document and improve processes across support services, ensuring all procedures reflect feminist principles and survivor-centred care.

Interview Process

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview, conducted via MS Teams.

Stage one: MS Teams with the Director of Programmes and two other panel members.

The whole process from advertisement to appointment, may take up to 1 - 3 weeks.

Due to the urgent need for support, applications will be reviewed and interviews arranged on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged.

Our vision:
A world free from sexual violence, where survivors are believed, respected and supported.
 

Our mission:
To provide high‑quality, specialist support and to challenge the structures that enable sexual violence.
 

What You Will Do

• Map and document end-to-end processes across all four frontline support services (e.g., intake, risk assessment, case management, referrals, crisis response)
• Develop trauma-informed, survivor-centred SOPs that prioritise safety, dignity, and confidentiality
• Collaborate with frontline practitioners to capture real-world workflows and best practices
• Ensure SOPs align with safeguarding policies, legal requirements, and ethical standards (e.g., data protection, confidentiality, consent)
• Standardise documentation formats, language, and terminology across programmes
• Identify gaps, risks, and inconsistencies in current processes and recommend improvements
