Further information about Respond
An important part of our work at Respond is working in a trauma-informed way. What this means for us is that we hold in mind the impact of trauma at all levels of the organisation, and all staff take part in reflective practice or team dynamics.
We provide a range of trauma-informed services for children, young people, adults and professionals. These include psychotherapy, advocacy, campaigning, training and other support services. The work we do is generally long term in recognition of research that clients with autism and learning disabilities who have experienced abuse and trauma take longer to process their trauma and to recover.
We are keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates including people with lived experience, who are both interested in working in partnership to provide support, as well as supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people who have experienced trauma.
We are committed to the furthering of human rights, equality, and positive social change through our therapeutic and advocacy work and are committed to anti-racism and other forms of anti-discriminatory practice. We recognise that we need to continually keep this as a focus in our work and as an integral part of our organisational strategy.
We celebrate diversity as an employer and as a provider of services to people who often experience multiple discriminations because of (but not limited to) being autistic or having a learning disability and experiences of trauma.
We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement in the person specification, we encourage you to apply anyway and demonstrate how your experience is transferrable for this role. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles within the organisation.

Our priorities and approach
• The human rights framework• The criminal legal system
• Migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum• Access to justice
The A B Charitable Trust exists to promote human dignity and defend the human rights of the most marginalised and excluded people. Our approach is founded on liberal principles of universalism and human rights. We believe in justice, not charity. For us, this means supporting work that promotes rather than diminishes dignity. It also means supporting efforts to change the systems that shape the lives of marginalised and excluded people in pernicious ways. We have a particular interest in work that uses the law to address inequities and injustices.
Our journey
The Trust was founded 33 years ago to promote and defend human dignity. Since then, we have given £33.4m to organisations, and this year we will spend some £8m. We have significantly increased our grantmaking over recent years and intend to continue a trajectory of growth.
Over the years the board has developed into a mix of both family and independent trustees, all of whom bring a wealth of experiences, skills and a shared passion for the work. Our talented executive team brings a high level of knowledge, expertise and skill both around grant making and our priority areas.
About the role and you
The key purpose of this role is to work closely and collaboratively with the trustees and executive teams to:
·Provide strategic leadership and management
·Have oversight / management of ABCT’s grants portfolio and our partnerships, ensuring we meet our priorities.
·Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders.
·Build a culture of learning and best practice in ABCT’s work.
The new Director will be critical in shaping how the Trust continues to grow and develop, so candidates will need to be able to demonstrate a relevant leadership and management background and a passion for the work.
This could be the right opportunity for a range of potential candidates. We really want to hear from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and we particularly encourage people with lived experience to apply.
If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role then please contact Allyson Davies (see link) who is advising and supporting the trustees in this appointment.
