Join Our Team - Senior Policy Coordinator (VAW)

Published: Thursday, October 22, 2026

NWC is hiring a Senior Policy Coordinator to lead and coordinate policy development, advocacy, research, and campaigns in line with NWC’s Strategic Plan. The role will play a central part in advancing women’s equality through strategic analysis, stakeholder engagement, and high-impact policy work.

This role will involve a particular focus on women’s safety, gender-based violence, and tackling all forms of violence against women. NWC’s remit in this area is broad and intersectional, encompassing topics ranging from domestic and sexual violence to harassment, technology-facilitated abuse, and structural issues such as housing precarity and its relationship to violence against women.

We work in a hybrid system of remote/in office/in person working. All staff must work from the office on Tuesday and Wednesday, but this could be more days depending on role requirements.

This post is a five-day week (35 hours) position for an initial one-year fixed term contract with the potential for extension to a permanent role, subject to funding and performance. 

Salary: €48,329 (non-negotiable)
