Respect is a pioneering UK membership organisation in the domestic abuse sector. Founded in 2000, we have built our expertise over the last 22 years in what was then a fledgling sector.

Our vision is to end domestic abuse. Its a simple ask and a daunting task. We know it will take generations of hard work to get there. In the meantime, we want to live in a world where domestic abuse is not tolerated where perpetrators are held to account and survivors safety and wellbeing is centred.

We are is a growing charity and one that is focussed on tackling domestic abuse by holding perpetrators to account and working with young people who use violence in their close relationships. We are a second tier organisation whose key purpose is to support our sector to grow and thrive; to innovate and act as a catalyst for the development of practice and good quality service provision; and to influence public policy and bring about social change.

Over the past four years Respect has quadrupled in size (income of £750k to over £3m and from 13 to 55 members of staff). This growth has been exciting - some might say breath-taking - and is the culmination of two decades of hard work building the case for a focus on perpetrators of domestic abuse. It looks likely that this growth will continue at a fast pace as we see increasing government interest with opportunities and funding opening up.

As a result we are reviewing our infrastructure and systems to ensure they are fit for purpose for the organisation that we are now.

The Deputy CEO role has been established for a six month period to take on the direct leadership of our Innovation and Support workstreams, line managing the four fantastic senior leaders who head them up and while the infrastructure review takes place.

Respect is an ambitious, thriving and growing organisation at an exciting time in its evolution. We are also an organisation that can be justly proud of the quality of our work and the supportive, inclusive, creative and flexible working environment that we have created.
