ROLE OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE
This is a specialist youth work role with two complementary areas of practice focus: (a) gender-responsive work with girls and gender-diverse young people experiencing or at risk of violence, harmful practices, exploitation, and coercive control; and (b) inclusive practice with neurodivergent young people whose support needs are routinely missed by mainstream youth provision.
VAWG specialism is the primary area of expertise for this role; SEN-aware practice is a complementary area of focus, supported by mentorship and consultation from Angel Shed Theatre and external SEN expertise where deeper input is needed. The role is designed to ensure that the cohorts most often underserved by violence-reduction provision — particularly neurodivergent girls — are reached and supported well.
The post holder will work within MGWT's trauma-informed practice framework, in close collaboration with the Dahlia Project on harmful practices, and within Andover's operational vision.
KEY AREAS AND OUTCOMES
Specialist practice — VAWG and gender-responsive work
• Lead on the design and delivery of a weekly girls and gender-diverse group at Andover, with structured progression and trauma-informed group work practice
• Provide 1:1 keywork to young people experiencing or at risk of gender-based violence, harmful practices (FGM, forced marriage, breast ironing), online and image-based abuse, and coercive control
• Hold a clear understanding of safeguarding pathways for harmful practices and serious youth-on-youth violence, working closely with MGWT's Safeguarding Lead and the Dahlia Project
• Support the wider Andover team to develop gender-responsive practice across all sessions
• Contribute to safety planning for individual young people in collaboration with the Safeguarding Lead
Specialist practice — SEN-aware and neurodivergent-inclusive work
• Co-design and deliver a sensory-aware parallel offer for neurodivergent young people, in partnership with Angel Shed Theatre
• Provide adapted 1:1 support to neurodivergent young people, including those with and without formal diagnosis
• Build and sustain referral relationships with SEN services, schools' SENCos, and partner organisations including the LYTP SEND project
• Support the wider Andover team to develop SEN-aware and trauma-informed practice across all sessions
Outreach, engagement, and youth voice
• Build and sustain trusting relationships with young people from the cohorts the role is designed to reach
• Lead on outreach and engagement activity to reach young people not currently accessing the service, particularly girls, gender-diverse young people, and neurodivergent young people
• Support the embedding of youth voice in the design and review of the specialist offer, with paid lived experience contributors where appropriate
Safeguarding and partnerships
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding pathways relevant to VAWG, harmful practices, and SEN-related vulnerability
• Identify and escalate safeguarding concerns to the Designated Safeguarding Lead in line with policy
• Work in partnership with the Dahlia Project, Angel Shed Theatre, and external specialist organisations to maintain the quality of practice
• Participate in multi-agency meetings as needed for individual young people
Reporting and learning
• Maintain accurate records of 1:1 keywork, group sessions, and outcomes
• Contribute to the monitoring and evaluation of the VRU Stronger Futures programme and other relevant funded streams
• Contribute to learning and reflective practice across the Andover team
This job description is a broad outline of your main responsibilities. Manor Gardens' employees may be required to undertake other work at times in order to provide flexible services. In addition, all employees are required to:
• Support the broader mission and objectives of MGWT and contribute to its overall strategy
• Contribute to the shared operational effectiveness of MGWT through attendance and contribution to organisational team meetings and working groups
• Ensure organisational data collection and reporting processes are completed as required
• Know and adhere to MGWT policies and procedures
PERSON SPECIFICATION
a) Specialist knowledge and experience of working with women, girls, or gender-diverse young people affected by violence, harmful practices, exploitation, or coercive control
b) An understanding of neurodiversity, with willingness to develop SEN-aware practice further through mentorship from Angel Shed Theatre and external training
c) JNC qualification in youth work, social work, or a related qualification (or working towards), or equivalent specialist experience
d) At least two years' experience of working with young people in a youth work, community, or specialist support setting
e) A strong understanding of trauma-informed practice and the principles of safe disclosure
f) Knowledge of the safeguarding landscape relating to VAWG, harmful practices, and exploitation, including referral pathways in Islington or comparable boroughs
g) Experience of running group work for young people, including closed groups, with structured progression
h) Experience of 1:1 keywork or casework with young people experiencing complex harm
i) Strong relational and communication skills with young people whose trust is hard-won
j) Ability to work flexibly across after-school and school holiday provision, including evening hours
k) Lived experience of any of the issues this role addresses is welcomed and valued, although not required
l) A mature, thoughtful, and reflective approach to equalities, diversity, and the intersection of gender, race, disability, and class

We are looking for an entrepreneurial leader to relaunch and build the next phase of the UK Democracy Network: a national network that helps organisations working to strengthen democracy across the UK connect, collaborate and coordinate more effectively.
This is a rare opportunity to shape a growing national network. The Network already has strong foundations, sector backing, and three years of core funding secured. The next step is building it into an independent, trusted and influential organisation that helps the democracy sector work together more effectively.
About the Network
The Democracy Network exists to help make collaboration across the democracy sector more effective. It connects organisations, practitioners and professionals across the UK democracy ecosystem, helping to reduce duplication, strengthen relationships, share intelligence, and enable more coordinated collective action.
About the host organisations
The Network is jointly incubated by two organisations with deep roots in UK civic tech, democratic education, and sector-wide network building:
The Politics Project supports young people to use their voice by giving them access to brilliant democratic education. They work with young people, teachers, youth practitioners and politicians to help them learn about, teach and actively participate in democracy. The Politics Project also leads the Democracy Classroom Network, a sister network of over 100 organisations across the democracy, education and youth sectors which support over 3,500 teachers and youth practitioners to engage young people in democracy.
Democracy Club produces the most comprehensive election data in the UK. Established in 2010 and registered as a Community Interest Company in 2015, it runs the national polling station finder Where Do I Vote and candidate lookup service Who Can I Vote For, serving election information to millions of UK voters each year and supplying data to the Electoral Commission. Democracy Club brings a mailing list of 35,000, an active community of 1,200 volunteer contributors collaborating on election information, and strong digital and data expertise to the Network.
Our vision for the Network
Over the last year, we have carried out extensive consultation with members of the UK Democracy Network, the Network’s Steering Group and funders. Through this process, we have developed a new vision for the Network that is designed to reflect and support the diversity of the democracy sector, and the wide range of approaches, perspectives and organisations within it.
Our model is built around a series of smaller thematic, geographic and demographic-based “hubs” within the wider Network. These hubs will create spaces for organisations and individuals working on particular issues, in particular places, or with specific communities to collaborate more effectively, while remaining connected to the wider democracy ecosystem.
Alongside this, the Network will support stronger coordination and information sharing across the sector through activities such as a monthly bulletin, shared events, an annual conference and practical tools and databases that help partners collaborate more effectively.
Importantly, we want to build on and strengthen the excellent work that already exists across the democracy landscape, rather than duplicate it. Over time, we also hope the Network can help incubate and support new hubs and collaborations around emerging issues and opportunities within the democracy sector.
About the role
The Network will be delivered by a small core team: a Network Director (this role), a Network Manager (in post), and a Network Coordinator (to be recruited).
Our medium-term ambition is for the Network to become an independent organisation in its own right. We see this role as central to shaping that transition, with the successful candidate expected to lead the Network into its next phase as an independent organisation over the course of the grant period.
Key responsibilities
The Network Director provides overall leadership of the Network and is responsible for its long-term sustainability and strategic direction.
Specifically:
Represent the Network. In networking and fundraising events, high-level roundtables and in high-profile relationships with government, funders, media and sector leaders.
Lead on fundraising. Develop relationships with major funders, alongside Hattie Andrews at The Politics Project, building a diversified, sustainable funding base.
Oversee the Network's transition to an independent legal structure. Support the establishment of the Board, working with Harriet Andrews and Sym Roe to recruit members with a mix of professional expertise and elected network representatives.
Build an inclusive, supportive team culture. Line manage the Network Manager and Network Coordinator.
Oversee monitoring and evaluation. Lead reporting to funders, and support the annual review process with the team and Steering Group / Board.
Person specification
We are looking for a values-driven, experienced, strategic leader. They will have strong people and financial management skills, and the ability to build trusted relationships across the democracy sector. They will be an excellent communicator, comfortable leading through complexity and change, and motivated by a commitment to strengthening UK democracy.
The postholder will be expected to work in-office two days a week and attend regular in-person engagements in London.
Benefits
33 days’ annual leave pro rata, including Bank Holidays (with three days off between Christmas and New Year).
4% employer pension contribution.
2 working days / 15 hours of volunteer leave a year.
Cycle to Work scheme.
Further information about the role and job specification can be found in the Candidate Recruitment Pack.
Equity, diversity and inclusion
The UK democracy sector has historically been less diverse than the country it serves, and we want to help change that, starting with how we recruit. We particularly welcome applications from people who are underrepresented in democracy sector leadership, including people of colour, disabled people and people from working-class backgrounds.
How to apply
Please apply via charity job with the following:
Your CV (no more than two pages).
A supporting statement of no more than 500 words, setting out how your experience, skills and knowledge meet the person specification and why you are drawn to this role.
