“Remaking the world with and for girls”

Purposeful is a movement-building hub for adolescent girls and young feminists. We resource their resistance, accompany journeys of political education, build solidarity between and across movements, amplify their voices, catalyse collaborative philanthropy and support innovation in grassroots programming with and for girls and young feminists.

Our work is both global and deeply local. In Sierra Leone, we bring our work together into one integrated strategy, sparking a groundswell of girls and young feminists who can access and imagine new possibilities for themselves and their communities. We move money to their allies to influence change, from communities to courtrooms. Across the world we support girls’ and young feminists’ organising and activism through a girl-led participatory grant-making process called the With and For Girls Fund. In times of crisis, we move money rapidly to girls and young feminists organising on the frontlines via the Global Resilience Fund.  No matter where we are, we work so that girls and young feminists can access the resources, networks and platforms they need to remake the world for themselves.

Purposeful is a proudly feminist organisation, with a strong intersectional power analysis. We pursue strategies that prioritise the collective liberation of girls. We are looking for team members who share our feminist ideals. We believe the best work happens in dialogue, and we value collective decision-making.

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 2025 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 National Systems Change programme is currently focused on four systemic gaps: Children’s Social Care, Housing, LGBT+ communities, and Racialised Communities.  Sitting within this programme you will play a key lead role in progressing our work on improving responses to domestic abuse for minoritised communities.

Your remit includes line managing the National Systems Change Practice Development Leads (NSCPDL), supporting both the Head of NSC and the Practice Manager in addressing systemic gaps in the provision of services. You will also work alongside key stakeholders and partners, including commissioned projects, and victim survivor groups, to enable long term systems change.

The successful candidate is likely to bring knowledge and experience of working within the domestic abuse sector, experience of working with multi-agency partnerships and/or other voluntary and statutory services involved in the response to domestic abuse.

An understanding of systems change and working with perpetrators and/or victims of domestic abuse (including those with protected characteristics, e.g. racialised communities, LGBTQ+ people, or people with related/complex needs such as substance misuse issues, mental health) would be welcomed.

We are currently looking for a Senior Service Manager to oversee safe houses  based in Liverpool, Manchester and Halton areas. This role is a chance to combine your leadership skills, compliance excellence and compassion.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience in team management and compliance within a care or support setting.
• Strong knowledge of Health & Safety, safeguarding, and quality frameworks.
• Excellent communication, organisational, and IT skills.
• Experience in modern slavery support is desirable, but not essential as training will be provided.
