About the Role

Based within our International Policing and Public Protection Research Institute (IPPPRI) you will be providing the project management for our Safe Online funded Survivor Hub project.

Victim/Survivors of online child sexual abuse whose engagement with law enforcement and support services have concluded, are a forgotten group, abandoned by professionals with little if any support, despite evidence showing they suffer excessive trauma. A two-year match funded Safe Online grant has been secured to address this 'system failure', through the creation and delivery of a Survivors Hub, designed to provide support to victims and survivors in 5 pilot countries. The Hub will be established to coordinate the activities of partners and stakeholders who include, lawyers, law enforcement and the Internet Watch Foundation to give victim/survivors, a voice through legal representation, prosecution of their abusers, removal of their abuse images from the internet and help to deal with their trauma through the creation and delivery of psycho-educational tools.

With a minimum of a degree or a relevant professional level qualification, you'll have demonstrable professional experience within project management and experience in coordinating complex research projects, preferably within a higher education or research environment. Excellent organisational and time management abilities are essential, along with strong communication skills to engage effectively with academic, law enforcement, legal representatives, NGO's and other stakeholders supporting the delivery of the project. Proficiency in project and financial management tools (e.g., Excel, Worktribe) is expected, as is the ability to work independently, solve problems proactively, and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
