The Role
As Project Lead for United Learning, you have the opportunity to make a difference on a large scale.

Supporting with performance management you will monitor progress against our five-year strategy, annual plans and group wide KPIs, providing timely management information to our Executive Board and Trustees to ensure they are aware of key issues and have visibility of progress towards our strategic objectives.
As part of Strategy and Performance you will also have the opportunity to be involved in projects outside these main areas of responsibility.

We are delighted to be recruiting for a Director to lead Respond, in our final year in our current strategy. This is also a new role, developed within the context of change following an in-principle agreement that Respond will join the Bild Group of charities in 2024.
Respond is entering its thirty fourth year as a charity and has grown from a small London based charity to a medium sized national charity in recent years. Our mission is to reduce the impact of trauma in the lives of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, by developing trusting relationships, through psychotherapeutically informed services.
As Director you will be the clinical and safeguarding lead across Bild group and will lead Respond to fulfil its mission of reducing the impact of trauma in the lives of people with learning disabilities, autistic people and their families. You will champion our highly regarded trauma informed advocacy and psychotherapy services and ensure appropriate clinical governance processes are in place. You will also work in collaboration with Bild to continue to develop the Respond branded training and consultation service and develop key stakeholder relationships within the sector, enhancing Responds reputation, encouraging partnership working and supporting the diversification of income generation.
It is an exciting time to join Respond as we join Bild group of charities. We recognise that this is a specialist leadership role for someone who is passionate about reducing the impact of trauma in the lives of autistic people and people with learning disabilities and their families.
Therefore, this new role may attract candidates with a variety of skills and experiences, and we’re keen to encourage diversity, inclusion and authenticity across Respond in line with our ongoing work within our EDI action plan. So, you may be a specialist from the Violence Against Women and Girls sector (VAWG), a Psychotherapist, an Arts Therapist, a Healthcare professional or Social Worker for example within significant transferable leadership experience.
If you’re enthusiastic about this opportunity 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. You may be just the right candidate. We really look forward to hearing from you.
About the Bild Group

Each is an independent charity with their own governance arrangements, who share a number of back-office functions including communications, admin, HR and IT.
Collectively, the Bild Group work with people with lived experience to promote best practice, improve lives, champion human rights and build a more inclusive society that empowers and enables people to thrive.
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.
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.
