You’ll have the unique opportunity to set up the centre and build on the achievements of the Vulnerability Knowledge and Practice Programme, the VAWG Taskforce and the Soteria Joint Unit. You will be able to agree and implement a plan for the Centre and how it will deliver for the public, policing and the government’s Safer Streets mission and ambition to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade. 

As a member of the College’s executive team you will work across all of policing and in collaboration with our board, the NPCC and relevant committee leads. You’ll need fantastic stakeholder communication skills, strong political awareness and be able to influence and engage with ministers, senior civil servants and chief constables.
