Pathway to Protection CIC is a newly established Community Interest Company being developed to provide a single point of contact and coordinated pathway of support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse.

Our aim is to develop referral pathways with the police, domestic abuse refuges, local authorities, social services, healthcare providers and other statutory and voluntary-sector organisations.

Following appropriate assessment and safeguarding, individuals will be supported to access relevant specialist services, including refuge and housing support, advocacy, counselling, welfare assistance and legal advice and representation.

Where legal assistance is required, we intend to establish a transparent and independent panel/referral network of suitably experienced solicitors and law firms, preserving client choice and the independence of the CIC.

This is a hands-on development role. Working closely with the Founder/Director, you will take a leading role in building the infrastructure required to launch the organisation.

Key responsibilities will include:

• developing a funding pipeline and preparing high-quality grant, bid and commissioning applications;

• assisting with budgets, monitoring frameworks, outcomes and evidence of impact required by funders;

• supporting appropriate governance and operational structures; and

• establishing clear and measurable milestones towards sustainable service delivery.

About You

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following:

• project or programme management within the charity, CIC, voluntary or public sector;

• establishing or developing a charity, CIC, community service or social-impact project;

• domestic abuse or Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) services;

• safeguarding and multi-agency working;

• grant and bid writing, fundraising or commissioning; and

• partnership and stakeholder development.

Previous success in securing grant or commissioned funding would be a significant advantage.

Knowledge of domestic abuse referral pathways, IDVA services, MARAC and multi-agency safeguarding arrangements would also be highly desirable.

You should be proactive, organised and capable of taking ownership of a project from concept through to implementation, with excellent written communication, project-planning and stakeholder-management skills.

What Success Will Look Like

By the end of the initial six-month contract, we expect substantial progress towards:

• an established operational and safeguarding framework;

• functioning referral and case-management processes;

• relationships with key referral partners;

• an independent legal referral/panel framework;

• a clear funding strategy and active funding pipeline;

• grant and commissioning applications submitted or in development; and
