* Community awareness and stigma reduction
You will ensure Safeena becomes compliant, data-driven, financially sustainable and ready for national expansion.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead organisational development, governance and risk management
* Embed safeguarding, GDPR and quality assurance systems
* Build and oversee operational systems (CRM, reporting, dashboards)
* Strengthen partnerships with NHS, mosques and community partners
* Support income generation and long-term sustainability
* Develop a high-performing, accountable culture
About You
You will bring:
* Proven experience delivering organisational transformation
