Director of Operations – Solace – 23rd May 2011
Solace Women’s Aid works with women and children who have experienced domestic and sexual violence. We work in a holistic and empowering way so that service users can live independent lives free from domestic and sexual violence. SWA delivers a wide range of focused services across London.
We are currently undergoing a transformation involving a restructuring of our staff team and we are seeking a Director with expertise in domestic and sexual violence services and a sophisticated approach to working with multiple stakeholders. As Director of Operations you will lead a large team of over 70 staff and around 100 volunteers delivering and developing services.
The Director of Operations is a significant new role, which will draw together all our services under single leadership and direction. This will include a range of development and support work, quality assurance functions, service development, and project management.
We are seeking a high calibre individual who can work strategically, drawing upon wide-ranging business operations awareness and a very strong track record of high quality service delivery. Providing leadership to a large, geographically dispersed team, you will need to demonstrate excellent influencing and networking skills in a multi-stakeholder environment.
Solace Women’s Aid values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We encourage and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic women, as they are currently under represented at this level.
