£60k – £70k (hybrid working, with at least 3 office-based days per week)
Rape Crisis South London (RCSL) is entering an exciting new chapter. We are laying the foundations for a bold new organisational strategy. As a specialist charity supporting survivors of sexual violence across twelve South London boroughs, we provide counselling, group therapy, advocacy, casework, prevention education, and professional training. With an annual income of approximately £4 million, we are growing and strengthening our infrastructure to better serve survivors and communities.
This is an exciting and career-defining opportunity to lead the people agenda at RCSL, and to ensure an exceptional people experience across the charity. We want People & Culture to be a strategic enabler of broader organisational change, and we see this role as being at the heart of that transformation.
