We’re on the look out for a new member of our team, a new member of our Executive Team, and someone that is going to be part a key part of this inspirational organisation, We Are Survivors.
Could you be our new Criminal Justice Services Director?
Are you the person that wants to lead an amazing team of therapists working both outside in the community and inside prison and secure settings?
Do you want to inspire a team of ISVAs, the first male focused ISVA team in the UK to do more for those victims/survivors in the criminal justice process as the system across England and Wales is straining?
Do you, like us, think that every person has the capacity to create change and so want to be part of an organisation that is not only ground breaking but now the largest male victim/survivor organisation in the UK?
Role: Criminal Justice Services Director
Salary: £40,000 (rising to £47,000)
Benefits: 33 days annual leave + Birthday leave + Clinical Supervision + Coaching + Tech Scheme + Vaccinations + more
The Criminal Justice Services Directorate is an incredibly important part of our organisation, delivering services in the community and in secure settings including Prisons, with a range of individuals and groups that have all been impacted by sexual harms (including sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation, or boys and men) alongside the impact on their families and friends.
Over the past 15+ years we have grown as an organisation, both physically and metaphorically, and we’re now supporting approximately 2,500 male survivors every single year across all our services in the Community Services Directorate and the Criminal Justice Services Directorate. The current state of the criminal justice system, the difficulties in the mental health system, the cost of living and other societal pressures will make the next few years both challenging and fascinating and you could get to help shape our local and regional response, along with influencing the national discussion on tackling sexual and domestic abuse, gender-based violence, and the ever-growing prison population.
This role is one that will give you the opportunity to use your:
- strategic planning skills;
- systems leadership experience;
- people management and influencing; and
- governance and performance leadership.
You’ll work with the Community Services Director and the Operations Director, and alongside the Deputy Chief Executive Officer to be part of the Executive Leadership team; whilst supporting and working with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure we make our vision a reality.
How to apply:
Download the role profile and write a personal statement about how your experience will help you meet all or as many of the main duties and responsibilities detailed in the document; and use the person specification to give me a good insight and evidence into skills and experience you have now.
Once you’ve written your personal statement, attach it to an email with your CV and send to [email protected] (deadline midnight on 12.01.25).
We welcome and strongly encourage applications from the widest of diverse communities as we want to be a workforce that is representative of the Greater Manchester population.
Whilst approximately 48% of the workforce have lived experience, being a survivor or having lived experience is not a requirement to working at We Are Survivors but as a survivor-centered organisation we will always very much welcome and encourage applications from survivors (male, female and gender identity diverse) and those that have had a survivor in their life.
