Job Description

Women’s Aid is the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children. Over the past 44 years, Women’s Aid has been at the forefront of shaping and coordinating responses to domestic violence and abuse through practice, research and policy. We empower survivors by keeping their voices at the heart of our work, working with and for women and children by listening to them and responding to their needs.

We are a federation of over 180 organisations who provide just under 300 local lifesaving services to women and children across the country. We provide expert training, qualifications and consultancy to a range of agencies and professionals working with survivors or commissioning domestic abuse services, and award a National Quality Mark for services which meet our quality standards. We hold the largest national data set on domestic abuse, and use research and evidence to inform all of our work. Our campaigns achieve change in policy, practice and awareness, encouraging healthy relationships and helping to build a future where domestic abuse is no longer tolerated.

This role presents a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future sustainability of England’s leading domestic abuse charity. You will be joining a talented team, passionate about their work with survivors of domestic abuse to help build the strong internal foundations our charity requires following a period of rapid growth.

As a member of the Executive Management Team, this new role will be responsible for developing, implementing and strengthening the internal systems and culture that help our people and projects to thrive. Ensuring effective management of finances, HR, premises, good governance and planning, you will support the charity’s sustainability and help us be a strong voice and support for our network of member services. 

Essentially, you will be CCAB qualified with significant post qualified experience and in-depth professional knowledge acquired through experience. You will have senior relevant management experience (people, systems and projects) in financial management, HR and IT.
