About the role

Hammersmith & Fulham is committed to ending Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) and creating a borough where everyone feels safe. We are seeking a skilled and motivated VAWG Programmes and Partnerships Lead to play a key role in delivering the Council’s Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy (2022–2027).
