Women and Girls Network (WGN) is a pan-London organisation that supports women and girls affected by all forms of gendered-based violence. Our overall aim is to promote, preserve and restore the mental health and well-being of women and girls who have experienced, or are at risk of, gendered-based violence, whilst working towards a society free of gendered-based violence.

About the Role 

The Rapid Response Senior Navigator plays a critical role within the SV Alliance Intake Service, supporting survivors of sexual violence at the point of first contact and ensuring safe, timely and coordinated responses across the Alliance.

You will provide senior practice oversight, risk and safeguarding guidance, and operational support to Navigators, while helping ensure a consistent, high‑quality survivor journey from first contact through to onward support. This role combines direct survivor‑facing work with senior practice leadership, partnership working and service coordination.

This role is offered on a 2-Year Fixed-Term Contract.

 

Job Description 

As the Rapid Response Senior Navigator, you will:

  • Provide senior guidance on complex, high‑risk or urgent survivor contacts
  • Support navigators to triage, assess risk and prioritise referrals effectively
  • Ensure timely follow‑up and coordinated onward referrals across Alliance partners
  • Oversee safeguarding practice, escalation pathways and quality assurance activity
  • Support rapid response, stabilisation, safety planning and holding support
  • Contribute to monitoring, data quality, reporting and service improvement
  • Build strong relationships with internal teams and external partner agencies
  • Promote trauma‑informed, survivor‑centred and anti‑oppressive practice across services
