Community Education and Prevention Manager (Female Applicants Only)

About the role

The Community Education and Prevention Manager provides strategic and operational leadership for Women and Girls Network's (WGN) Community Education and Prevention work, shaping how we deliver prevention, engagement and survivor participation across London in response to Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG).

As Community Education and Prevention Manager, you will lead a multidisciplinary team working across community outreach, prevention education and survivor involvement. You will ensure all work is grounded in Black feminist, intersectional, trauma-informed and anti-racist practice, and that survivor experience is central to how programmes are designed, delivered and developed.

You will oversee a portfolio of work delivered across key partnerships, including initiatives focused on Black and Global Majority young women, pan-London sexual violence prevention collaboration, and WGN's wider survivor participation and engagement activity.

This role brings together strategic leadership, team management, service development and external collaboration to strengthen WGN's impact, reach and influence within the sector.

This role is offered on a part-time basis (3 days / 21 hours per week).

Job description

As the Community Education and Prevention Manager, you will:

• Provide strategic leadership for community education and prevention work, ensuring programmes are high-quality, coherent and grounded in WGN's feminist, trauma-informed, anti-racist and intersectional values.

• Lead and develop a multidisciplinary team, fostering reflective practice, collective care, accountability and a supportive, learning-focused working culture.

• Hold responsibility for safeguarding across community education and prevention activity, ensuring safe, consistent and survivor-centred practice across all delivery.

• Drive programme development and improvement using survivor voice, community insight, data and sector learning to strengthen impact and innovation.

• Build and sustain strong partnerships and external relationships across community organisations, statutory services, education settings and VAWG sector networks, while representing WGN externally and contributing to income generation and sustainability.
