nia has been delivering services to women, girls and children who have been subjected to sexual and domestic violence and abuse, including prostitution, since 1975. The organisation has three main aims: to provide services for women, girls and children who have experienced men’s violence; contributing to ending male violence against women and girls, and to inform and influence policy and public awareness.
nia is a professionally approved member of Rape Crisis England and Wales; an umbrella organisation supporting Rape Crisis Centres across the country. Rape Crisis is completely independent of the government and the criminal justice system.
East London Rape Crisis provides free, confidential specialist support for women and girls who have been raped or experienced any other form of sexual violence or abuse at any time in their lives, regardless of whether or not they have reported to the police. We offer confidential and independent support. Services include advocacy, emotional and practical support, one-to-one counselling and group work. The service is provided across Barking & Dagenham, Hackney, Havering, Redbridge, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.
We form part of the London Sexual Violence Alliance. The Alliance brings together 225 years of expertise and experience and represents a bold, visionary and survivor-centred resource. The Alliance consists of eight members. Seven are organisations that have historically, and or currently, provide support for victims/survivors. MOPAC is the eighth member, primarily sitting at the oversight and leadership governance level.
Note: each organisation continues to be an independent charity, so the Alliance is not a legal entity.

The Sexual Violence (SV) Alliance is a ground-breaking collaboration between seven specialist sexual violence organisations: four Rape Crisis Centres (nia, Rape Crisis South London, Solace and Women & Girls Network) and three specialist organisations, (Galop, Respond, and SurvivorsUK). Together, we bring experience in delivering expert, intersectional, and trauma-informed services to survivors of sexual violence.
We’re seeking a visionary Director to lead our strategic and operational transformation, ensuring our services are inclusive, responsive, and survivor-led. The role will be based at nia, but will work across, and be accountable to, all Alliance members.
Job Title: Specialist Support Worker Employer: nia (on behalf of the SV Alliance) Hours: Full-time-(35hours per week – we welcome discussions regarding flexible working patterns Salary: £57,000 – £60,000 per annum Location: Hybrid with in-person working across Alliance member offices and travel across London Contract requirement: Women-only – this role will be working across women-only as well as mixed-gender services. Contract type: Permanent
As Director, you will play a central role in shaping and delivering the Alliance’s strategic and operational goals. You will lead the Alliance Management Team, support the Leadership Team, and work alongside experts with lived experience to improve service access, consistency, and responsiveness for London’s diverse survivor communities — especially those facing the greatest intersectional disadvantage.
The Director will oversee the transformation of intake and referral pathways, monitor performance, manage risk and oversee governance structures, while fostering collaboration and accountability across all member organisations. You will also represent the Alliance externally, influencing policy, securing resources, and amplifying the voices of marginalised survivors. The ideal candidate will bring leadership experience in specialist sexual violence services, a deep commitment to feminist and anti-racist principles, and the ability to navigate complexity with clarity and compassion.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of sexual violence support in London and make a lasting impact.
