About Woman's Trust

Woman’s Trust was established almost thirty years ago and is the leading specialist in mental health services for women. Led by and for women, it aims to ensure that women affected by domestic abuse can live a safe and healthy life, free from further harm. Our approach is trauma-informed and person-centred, empowering survivors on their journey to recover from the trauma. We support 900 women and children annually, with an income of £1.3m and 40 staff. We are committed to a positive, inclusive and equitable environment for our staff, service users and volunteers. Alongside our current service provision, we are focused on developing innovative mental health services for young women and girls, launching peer-led support groups and providing therapeutic groups to children and their mothers. We are also committed to developing further awareness-raising workshops and training for professionals, building on our research and policy expertise to improve systems nationally. As demand for our service grows, we are ambitious to double the number of women we support each year, achieved in large part through the success of our fundraising team in increasing our income.

About Adolescent Health Study

Role Title: Assurance & Policy Governance Specialist (Maternity Cover)
Salary: £36,998-£43,417 (Pro-rata)
Location: London or Chard, Somerset -Hybrid
Tenure: Fixed term  - Part Time for 8 months

ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We work with our partners and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want

Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies? 

Do you have a strong background  in governance, policy, assurance, or compliance?

Then we'd love to hear from you!

At ActionAid UK, we’re driven by a powerful purpose — to end poverty and injustice by advancing the rights of women and girls around the world. We’re looking for a dynamic and meticulous Assurance & Policy Governance Specialist to join our Impact & Innovation department during a period of maternity cover.

This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in ensuring ActionAid UK’s policies, processes, and governance frameworks are robust, accessible, and aligned with our feminist values. You’ll be at the heart of the organisation, connecting teams, supporting leadership, and strengthening the systems that enable us to deliver our mission with confidence and integrity.

In this role, you’ll coordinate our UK policy governance framework — keeping policies up to date, ensuring consistency and clarity across departments, and helping colleagues understand and apply them in their day-to-day work. You’ll also play a key part in our global assurance processes, working with colleagues across the Federation to provide assurance to our UK Board of Trustees about how funds are being used and managed internationally. In this role you will act as focal point and coordinator for AAUK assurance and policy governance work. You will play a key role in ensuring our UK policy governance work is robust and runs smoothly to ensure all policies are regularly reviewed, accessible and understandable.

You’ll be someone who enjoys structure, clarity, and communication — able to translate technical or complex information into clear, accessible language. With excellent organisational skills and an eye for detail, you’ll manage multiple stakeholders, timelines, and review processes with ease. You’ll be confident working independently, proactive in problem-solving, and motivated by the opportunity to make systems more effective and inclusive.

This role offers the chance to collaborate across diverse teams and functions — from People & Culture to Finance, from internal audit to international partnerships. You’ll gain deep insight into the operations of a leading international NGO, while contributing directly to strengthening transparency, accountability, and trust at every level of the organisation. You will also get to co-lead an exciting new project we are implementing in 2026, to review and launch new Standard Operating Procedures for our country assurance monitoring in line with our strategic goal to decolonize our systems and processes.

We’re looking for someone who combines excellent communication skills with tenacity, creativity, and a commitment to feminist principles. Whether your background is in governance, policy, assurance, or compliance, what matters most is your ability to bring clarity, coordination, and purpose to complex processes.

If you’re ready to use your expertise to help shape how ActionAid UK delivers its mission — ensuring our systems reflect our values and our policies empower our people — we’d love to hear from you.

Join us and help ensure the integrity, strength, and inclusivity of ActionAid UK’s governance as we continue to fight for a fairer, more equal world.
