About the organisation
The REIGN Collective is a forward-thinking Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to combating Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSA/E) through survivor-led initiatives. Our mission is to reshape how society, systems, and institutions respond to and support those affected by CSA/E. We achieve this by educating professionals, practitioners, and the wider community, using lived experiences to challenge and repair the systems that failed us as children. Through our training programs and advocacy, REIGN works to strengthen support for survivors and safeguard children across the UK.
At REIGN Collective, our work is rooted in values of equity, inclusion, sustainability, collaboration, and empowerment. We are looking for someone who not only shares these values but actively embodies them in their professional and personal life.
