ABOUT SUZY LAMPLUGH TRUST:

This post represents an opportunity for the right candidate to join the UK’s founding personal safety charity and leading authority on stalking.

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust was born out of the tragic story of Suzy Lamplugh, a 25-year-old estate agent who went missing whilst at work in 1986, was never found, and was eventually declared deceased in 1993. The Trust was set up in Suzy’s name and continues to be a pioneer in reducing the risk and prevalence of abuse, aggression and violence - with a specific focus on stalking and harassment – through education, campaigning and support.

You will be working for a growing charity that delivers high value impact to those we train, those we educate, those we support and to the general public through our campaigning and policy work. Our Stalking Helpline offers support and advice to thousands of victims of stalking every year, while our bespoke advocacy teams work closely with partners and stakeholders across the Violence Against Women and Girls’ (VAWG) sector, the criminal justice system, and both statutory and non-statutory services to ensure our clients can live a live free from abuse and fear.

We are an organisation that has:

• been responsible for training over one million lone and frontline workers across all sectors in personal safety;
• campaigned heavily and played a pivotal role in driving changes in the law to better protect people across the UK; and
• supported over 75,000 victims and survivors of stalking since the inception of our National Stalking Helpline and stalking advocacy service.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

This role is about making a difference, supporting the most vulnerable, standing up against what is wrong, driving systemic change, and holding decision makers to account. We work hard so our beneficiaries sleep better at night, so families can reunite at the end of the working day, and so that victims of harassment and stalking are given the chance to regain control of their situations,

• To lead on Suzy Lamplugh Trust’s policy and campaign work relating to stalking, in order to ensure that victims of stalking continue to have their voices heard and receive effective and appropriate responses and that the Suzy Lamplugh Trust continues to be the expert policy voice in this area.
• This role will also lead on the broader harassment, online harms and workplace safety policy and campaigns agenda of the Trust. The post holder will work on multiple, diverse and fast-paced projects in a committed and expert team.
• To provide line management to the Social Media and Engagement Officer
