About The Violence Intervention Project (V.I.P)

The Violence Intervention Project (V.I.P) is a forward-thinking charity focused on reducing serious youth violence (SYV) among young people in West London.

Founded in 2017, V.I.P. combines therapeutic approaches with practical support to help young people, their families, and communities build safer, more positive futures.

At the heart of our work is the Urban Therapy model, a clinically informed, trauma-focused intervention that supports youth in navigating the challenges of violence, poverty, and emotional distress.

We collaborate closely with statutory services and community partners to ensure long-term impact and sustainable change.

With a strong presence across several boroughs, V.I.P. is dedicated to innovation, prioritising employee well-being, and fostering a supportive, growth-oriented team culture. We work with young people where they feel most comfortable—whether at home, in the community, or on the streets—ensuring flexibility and accessibility in our approach.

Our mission is to create a lasting impact in the lives of those we support, driving meaningful change through evidence-based practice and compassionate, relationship-driven care.

You will have a direct impact on V.I.P.’s growth and ability to expand our transformative work, ultimately improving the lives of young people affected by violence across West London.

Who we are looking for

We seek a strategic and results-driven leader with a proven track record in programme delivery and operational management. The ideal candidate will bring a blend of leadership, innovation, and a passion for tackling youth violence.

• Extensive experience in leading and scaling programmes, ideally within the charity or social sector.
• Proven success in driving operational efficiency, resource management, and quality assurance.
