About the role
Women & Girls Network (WGN) is a grassroots black women’s organisation that has grown alongside the many women and girls experiencing gender-based violence. We are passionate about what we do. We want women totally committed to our values and ethos to join us and work in solidarity to overcome violence against women.
We have been supporting survivors of sexual violence for over 35 years. One of our first services was the Sexual Violence Helpline which offers confidential emotional support affected by any form of sexual violence. Over the last 5 years we have undergone significant growth and development as a provider of Sexual Violence services in London, primarily with the addition of the London Survivors Gateway (which is a collaboration between eight specialist London agencies – the four Rape Crisis Centres, SurvivorsUK, Galop, Respond and the Havens – who work with survivors of sexual violence and abuse and this partnership is led by WGN).
We are now looking for two dynamic leaders to take these services to the next stage of their evolution. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to lead around WGN’s pan London Sexual Violence helpline-based services both internally as well as coordinating the London Survivors Gateway partnership externally. The available opportunities are:
- Data and Partnerships Lead (Part-Time, 21 hours per week)
- Safeguarding and External Communications Lead (Full-Time, 35 hours per week)
About you
The ideal candidates will have an in-depth understanding of sexual violence and a proven track record of delivering, managing and developing specialist support services offering advice, emotional support and / or advocacy of front-line services which has involved responsibility for safeguarding and ensuring the highest quality provision.
You will have the excellent management and leadership qualities required to lead and motivate a multi-disciplinary team including Navigators and Lines Workers.
