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 of this year 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 Drive Head of Programmes will play a central role in maintaining strategic oversight of internal operations, including project planning and risk management across workstreams, and partner coordination across the Drive Partnership. This is a senior leadership position providing operational leadership, staff management, and cross-partner coordination to ensure workstreams within the Drive Partnership function effectively, efficiently and in in alignment with the Drive Partnership’s core mission.

The role will report directly to the Drive Director, form part of the Drive Senior Management team and work alongside the Drive Deputy Director and other Senior Leads to embed a high-performing, values-led culture across The Drive Partnership.

As an Undercover Investigator with the Animal Welfare Investigations Project (AWIP), you will work as part of a dedicated and highly skilled investigations team committed to disrupting organised animal cruelty and protecting animals worldwide.

• Undertake long-term employment-based assignments in industries using animals for human consumption.

• Work collaboratively with solicitors, prosecutors, and law enforcement partners to support prosecutions and intelligence-led operations.

• Provide witness statements and give evidence in court when required.

• Ensure the confidentiality of all sensitive material and operational matters.

• Maintain regular communication with the Investigations & Intelligence Team regarding case activity and developments.

• Uphold AWIP’s mission and values in all aspects of your work.

Essential Requirements

• Strong alignment with AWIP’s mission to investigate, disrupt, protect, and rescue animals from organised cruelty.

• Proven ability to work independently, including in isolated or high-pressure environments.

• Confidence operating covert recording equipment and strong photography/videography skills.

• Excellent observation and attention to detail.

• Ability to adapt quickly, make sound judgments under pressure, and take calculated risks when necessary.

• Strong written communication and reporting skills.

• Full UK right to work and valid driving licence.

• Willingness to travel extensively and remain away from home for prolonged periods (typically 2–4 months per assignment; accommodation and expenses covered).

• Professional, discreet, and capable of maintaining operational secrecy at all times.

Desirable

• Prior experience in covert investigations, intelligence gathering, or law enforcement.

• Understanding of animal agriculture, animal fighting, or wildlife crime.

• Familiarity with evidentiary procedures and working with legal teams or enforcement agencies.

The Person

We’re looking for someone audacious, determined, and mission-driven — someone who thrives under pressure, has a meticulous eye for detail, and possesses an unshakeable commitment to protecting animals from harm.

About Alzheimer's Society

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.  

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society. 

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.
