The London Borough of Waltham Forest is excited to be piloting a new ground-breaking and innovative project to embed Violence Reduction at a hyper-local level, working in four neighbourhoods.

The postholder will strategically manage, develop, organise and control the pilot delivery, ensuring the delivery of the service meets all Council, professional and legislative requirements. They will oversee the day-to-day operations of a multi-disciplinary co-located team and eventually hold line management responsibility for teams across each Neighbourhood. They will be responsible for project management, creating a plan for engaging with each neighbourhood and for working with our evaluators to conduct an evaluation of the pilot. Working closely with each community setting is an essential element of this role and building and maintaining these relationships will play a vital role in the success of this project.

We are looking for a self-motivated individual who can lead the team and this project towards achieving its goals and outcomes. As this is a pilot, we want an individual who is keen to be part of the development of this new approach to Violence Reduction work and who will be enthusiastic to be part of this exciting pilot. The manager will be based within community settings and the role will involve travel to other community settings.
