Risk & Commercial Trustee
Victim Support
Mainly London based
Voluntary basis, with reasonable expenses reimbursed
Experiencing crime can be overwhelming. You may, naturally, feel unsafe. You might not know where to turn to. You may also find yourself overwhelmed with tasks related to your experience.
This is why Victim Support makes a profound difference to the lives of the people we support. We’re here to help people affected by crime. Not only those who experience it directly, but also their friends, family and any other people involved.
We are proud to be the leading victims’ Charity in England and Wales that supports people affected by crime and traumatic incidents. We provide personalised support to help people manage after crime and feel safer through a combination of dedicated specialist services as well as on-line support. We also inform victims of their rights and ensure their voices are heard throughout their support and beyond. We use the evidence from our experience of how crime affects victims to influence stakeholders and policy makers to effect positive change. We are a wholly victim centric organisation – victims are at the heart of everything we do.
THE ROLE
We are looking to appoint a Trustee with a background in Risk and Commercial, and who would also sit on the newly formed Risk Committee, which has been created to increase focus and support within VS to respond to the challenges of the current operating environment.
You will ensure that the needs of victims, witnesses and families affected by tragic events and crime are always at the centre of decisions taken by VS. You will help shape our strategic direction, and will support the outward facing activities of the charity as an ambassador. We’d be delighted to hear from senior professionals in risk management, ideally with a background spanning the commercial and non-profit sectors.
You will join a dedicated group of people supporting a talented team focused on building a future where victims’ rights are respected, their voices heard and their needs met.
