About the Alliance

The Sexual Violence (SV) Alliance is a ground-breaking collaboration between seven specialist sexual violence organisations: four Rape Crisis Centres (nia, Rape Crisis South London, Solace and Women & Girls Network) and three specialist organisations, (Galop, Respond, and SurvivorsUK). Together, we bring experience in delivering expert, intersectional, and trauma-informed services to survivors of sexual violence.

About the role

We are seeking a visionary Director to lead our strategic and operational transformation, ensuring our services are inclusive, responsive, and survivor-led. The role will be based at nia, but will work across, and be accountable to, all Alliance members.

As Director, you will play a central role in shaping and delivering the Alliance’s strategic and operational goals. You will lead the Alliance Management Team, support the Leadership Team, and work alongside experts with lived experience to improve service access, consistency, and responsiveness for London’s diverse survivor communities — especially those facing the greatest intersectional disadvantage.

The Director will oversee the transformation of intake and referral pathways, monitor performance, manage risk and oversee governance structures, while fostering collaboration and accountability across all member organisations. You will also represent the Alliance externally, influencing policy, securing resources, and amplifying the voices of marginalised survivors. The ideal candidate will bring leadership experience in specialist sexual violence services, a deep commitment to feminist and anti-racist principles, and the ability to navigate complexity with clarity and compassion.

This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of sexual violence support in London and make a lasting impact.

A note on AI

While we understand that some people may use AI tools for accessibility (and recognise and support that many assistive technologies may use elements of AI), we ask candidates to consider what tools are most appropriate during the application process. For example, we recognise the value for many people of machine learning language tools like Grammarly. On the other hand we would discourage the use of generative AI tools in writing your application, as we'd like to understand your personal interest in working for Julie's Bicycle, and be able to understand your non-AI-assisted communication skills just as they are. We also recognise that for many of the people and creative communities we work with, the rise of generative AI poses a threat to their livelihoods, while the environmental impacts of AI are only set to grow: this means we also have a responsibility as Julie's Bicycle to consider where and when (and if) we use AI in our work. 

Thank you for your interest in working at Julie’s Bicycle.
