We are looking for a bold, ambitious, and dynamic Director of People to lead our newly created people and culture team and take the reigns from our Interim People Director. 2025 is a big year for us as we celebrate our 40th year. 2025 will also see the Charity launch a new brand, and new name as we change from Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre (RASASC) to Rape Crisis South London (RCSL).

Working closely with the CEO, and as part of a newly formed Senior Leadership Team, you will play a crucial role in creating and implementing our ambitious plans. You will lead on developing a brilliant culture across the organisation and build a professional, commercial and compassionate working culture where everyone feels able to bring their best self into the workplace. You will lead the development and implementation of a new people strategy, including working with teams across the organisation as chair of our people and culture working group, develop managers and leaders, and support the SLT and CEO in transforming the charity to continue supporting women and girls.

This is a career-defining role, working with a wonderful and passionate team. If you share our ambition and our values, we will give you the resources and support you need to succeed. You'll have a programme of activity to enthuse and engage the support we need to fulfil our mission of providing specialised counselling, support and independent advocacy for women who have experienced rape or sexual violence.

The successful applicant will be able to demonstrate their support for Rape Crisis South London’s values and commitment to feminist principles.

The position is offered as permanent, full-time opportunity, with three days in the office. The post is open to female applicants only as being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
