No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you will be doing:
Working across six specialist sexual violence and abuse organisations, you will provide strategic leadership for an ambitious regional programme designed to improve access, strengthen first contact and navigation, reduce fragmented pathways and tackle postcode-based inequality.
You will lead partnership delivery, governance, performance, risk and shared learning, while helping to develop key regional infrastructure including the Single Point of Contact and shared regional dataset.
This is a senior role for someone who can build trusted relationships, influence across organisational boundaries and help ensure sexual violence and abuse remains visible, understood and central within wider regional systems and decision-making.
We are looking for an experienced partnership leader who can combine strategic thinking with strong programme delivery, use evidence and survivor experience to influence change, and help strengthen the long-term sustainability of specialist services across the region.
