Are you passionate about safeguarding, professional learning, and making a real difference? The National Organisation for the Treatment of Abuse (NOTA) is looking for a dynamic and committed Training Chair to lead our national strategy.
What’s the Role?
As Training Chair, you’ll be at the forefront of commissioning high-quality, evidence-based training for professionals working to prevent sexual abuse and sexual violence.

. Knowledgeable in practice issues in safeguarding, offender management, harmful sexual behaviour or related fields
. Passionate about preventing abuse and supporting professionals

. Join the NOTA board and contribute to strategic leadership of the charity
. Work with a passionate, multidisciplinary team of experts
. Gain valuable leadership experience and expand your professional network
