The Drive Partnership, formed by Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance, is working to transform the national response to perpetrators of domestic abuse. We work to end domestic abuse and protect victims by disrupting, challenging, and changing the behaviour of those who are causing harm. Together we have developed the Drive Project to address a gap in work with high-harm, high-risk perpetrators of domestic abuse. We also work to advocate for systems and policy change- to develop sustainable, national systems that respond more effectively to all perpetrators of domestic abuse.

In July of this year the Home Office announced a £53m investment over the next four years to enable the Drive Project to roll out across England and Wales. To end domestic abuse, we must address the source of the problem - the perpetrator. This funding will make a huge difference to our efforts to support survivors, by holding perpetrators to account, stopping them from causing further harm and giving them the chance to change.

The Drive Head of Programmes will provide strategic leadership across our programmes, leading our Managers in the design and delivery of our programmes to ensure all our interventions are grounded in robust evidence and best practice, working to end domestic abuse and protect victims. You will hold accountability for programme performance, safeguarding and quality assurance whilst working closely with the Drive Head of Operations to ensure effective operational delivery is embedded our across programmes.

Whilst income generation is not a central function of this role, you will work closely with the Drive Deputy Director to ensure each programme has a clear and robust business plan in place.
