About Zero Tolerance
We are a Scottish charity working to end men’s violence against women by promoting gender equality and challenging attitudes which normalise violence and abuse.
We are a values-led organisation and seek to improve the way we integrate feminism, equality, and diversity into our work. We ensure our HR policies and practices reflect our values (including enhanced parental leave, miscarriage and menopause policies and flexible working) and our salary framework is fair and competitive. We are committed to staff learning and development and have a paid reading week for all staff.
We are committed to diversity and challenging all forms of inequality alongside gender inequality. We are open to as many different voices as there are experiences, and to all genders, and particularly welcome applications from Minority Ethnic, LGBT+, disabled, migrant, and other backgrounds currently underrepresented within the women’s sector.
We achieve change in the following ways:
- - Raise public and political awareness of the root cause of VAWG (gender inequality) and call for action.
- - Challenge and support key institutions to embed primary prevention of VAWG in their work.
- - Advance and share the evidence base on preventing VAWG.
What you’ll do

- - support the organisation’s aims by building strong relationships with stakeholders
- - develop effective networks
- - identify effective strategies to promote positive attitudes and behaviours
- - represent Zero Tolerance in public forums as required

- - have previous experience in a similar role – in a paid or voluntary capacity
- - have knowledge and understanding of violence against women and gender equality
- - be an engaging communicator with the ability to influence a wide variety of audiences
- - have a creative mindset, and enjoy a challenge
- - be someone who learns quickly and can work strategically to promote our aims
You will also have:
- - A shared understanding of our vision, values, aims and positions
- - Proven experience of building networks
- - Excellent written communication skills with experience producing engaging and accessible resources
- - Organisational skills with the ability to see projects and events through from inception to completion
What do we offer?
- - Competitive salary with annual pay progression.
- - Staff pension scheme (6% employers’ contribution).
- - 28 days annual leave plus 10 public holidays (pro-rata) and a flexible working hours policy.
- - We actively encourage continuous professional development for all our employees and have implemented a paid reading week and continuous training opportunities for individual learning and whole team development.
