Current vacancies
Hertfordshire Authentic Voice Coordinator
To truly transform the response to domestic abuse we must place the experience of survivors at the heart of everything we do. The Authentic Voice Coordinator will support the organisational commitment of SafeLives, and that of the Partnership, to Authentic Voice. Working within the Innovation team and alongside the Partnership to develop an influential panel, a powerful approach to gathering and amplifying survivor voices, challenging ‘them and us’ attitudes, you will have the skills and values to support and engage with survivors of domestic abuse. You will coordinate the implementation of the Authentic Voice principles, embedding co-creation throughout the work of the Partnership. You will establish creative ways to reach out to survivors across Hertfordshire including those who have increased vulnerability or multiple disadvantage, those who are marginalised and others who have not yet found their voice. You will ensure all who want to have their voice heard, are heard and that what we learn from their lived experience shapes the response to domestic abuse in Hertfordshire and nationally.
You will demonstrate the value of expertise by experience to influence all stakeholders, breaking down perceptions of ‘them and us’ and uniting voices of experts by experience to keep families safe and end domestic abuse.
