Chief Executive

Trevi is the leading women’s organisation in the Southwest of England.  In just 30 years, service provision has grown from one centre supporting approximately 28 women and children, to four centres and two outreach projects supporting more than one thousand women and children every year.

Our vision is for a society where all women in recovery can access good quality, psychologically informed, gender-based interventions without apology.  Our mission is to provide safe and nurturing spaces for women and their families to heal, grow and thrive.

As a leading voice in the fight to end male violence against women and girls, Trevi has made great strides in our campaigns and advocacy efforts. We are committed to being at the forefront of this critical work, influencing change and creating safer communities for all.

This is an exciting and pivotal moment in our organisation's history, and we are thrilled to be embarking on the search for a leader who will guide us into our next phase of impact.

We believe that with the right leadership, Trevi can build on these successes and continue to make a profound difference in the lives of women and their families. We are seeking a CEO who shares our passion, vision, and commitment to our mission — someone who will inspire our teams, engage our partners, and lead Trevi to even greater success.
