The SV Alliance brings together The Bridge (SARC), SARSAS, The Southmead Project and Womankind to improve access to, and quality of, services for adult survivors of rape and sexual assault across the Avon and Somerset Constabulary area.

The Lived Experience / Co-Production Co-ordinator will build on the work of the Pathfinder Project, commissioned in 2022 to improve therapeutic provision for adults who have experienced sexual violence at any point in their lives. The project culminated in the Improving Access to Services report, which identified priority areas for service development, strengthened pathways and wider system change.

The role will lead and embed co-production across the SV Alliance, ensuring that the voices and expertise of people with lived experience meaningfully shape service design, delivery and system improvement.

The Lived Experience / Co-production Co-ordinator will be passionate about the power of lived experience and committed to meaningful, ethical co-production. You will have a strong understanding of the impact of sexual violence and bring a trauma-informed, compassionate and strengths-based approach to your work.

You are proactive, well organised and adaptable, able to work confidently on your own initiative and take responsibility for driving work forward. You are comfortable coordinating complex activity, setting priorities and maintaining momentum.

You place inclusivity at the heart of your work and are committed to ensuring co-production is accessible, equitable and reflective of diverse experiences, particularly those from underrepresented communities. You build trusting, respectful, inclusive spaces for people with lived experience, and individuals feel valued and supported.

You are confident working with multiple organisations and stakeholders. You are motivated by collaboration, learning and continuous improvement. You are committed to ensuring survivor voices meaningfully influence service design, delivery and wider systems change.
