Senior Manager Commercial Projects Jobs in Nottingham

We look forward to discussing with candidates the exact terms of appointment, if you are applying as a secondment, period of leave from your home employer or other situation.

About SafeLives & This Role

Small organisations like ours don’t often have chance to recruit at senior level. This is a rare opportunity to make change across the UK, bringing us all closer to a day when domestic abuse is a thing of the past. Our long-serving Director of Quality and Innovation is taking a 12-month sabbatical, and we look forward to appointing a fantastic candidate to cover her role for a year. This could be done as a secondment or a fixed term appointment.

You will be an ambitious, curious, generous professional, comfortable questioning data, overseeing multi-million-pound budgets and inspiring teams, as well as having deep knowledge of VAWG and wider safeguarding practice. You will be able to draw on up to date insight into life at the frontline of domestic abuse response, whether that’s in the public or voluntary sector, and will be enthusiastic about working with a huge array of colleagues from all professions who have a role in ending domestic abuse.

You might have direct personal experience of domestic abuse – if so, we value and recognise that even if you don’t choose to use that openly in your work. Whether you have this experience or not, you will be able to bring empathy to interactions with victims and survivors, as well as sensitivity to all aspects of the role internally and externally. You will want to create and sustain practice and research which works for everyone in the UK, inclusively, no matter what their characteristics or what front door they live behind. You will read the EEDI pages of our website and our latest diversity data and feel confident we can continue to improve and meet our own and other people’s expectations.

You will be in a leadership position in the organisation at a pivotal time, as we continue to increase the extent to which our work addresses all family members in an abusive situation – non-abusive and abusive adults, adolescents, and children.

SafeLives’ has a valued track record around the UK of driving change. We are known for being practical not theoretical, and bringing pragmatism and openness to what we do. We combine practice, high quality data and the voice of those with lived (personal) experience to influence change at all levels. You will operate UK-wide and locally, with the statutory and voluntary sectors and with commercial partners who are increasingly supporting their workforce and customers.

Our Director of Quality and Innovation is an assertive human voice in the organisation, with the real world at their heart. You will advocate for the needs of those we work for, based on your direct work with vulnerable people and trauma. You will make others – including those who are unsure - feel passionate and driven, including in difficult times. We can’t wait to work with you!

Hours: 37.5 hours per week (will consider 30 hours per week minimum)

Location: Hybrid working, required frequent travel across the UK.

Benefits include a generous package including 25 days’ holiday per year plus public holidays, employee pension scheme with 4% employer contribution, Cycle2Work scheme, access to a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) and Flexible Working.
