at Victim Support

🏢 About Victim Support

Victim Support is a unique charity that provides specialist, independent support to victims and witnesses of crime across England and Wales. Unlike many organizations, they combine commercial training services with a clear social mission, allowing professionals to directly contribute to improving outcomes for victims while generating income that funds their charitable work. Working here means your commercial success directly supports vulnerable people during difficult times.

About This Role

As a Training Account Manager at Victim Support, you'll be responsible for expanding their commercial training portfolio by developing client relationships and securing new business across England and Wales. This role is impactful because every training contract you secure directly funds their charitable services while also improving professional practice in victim support across multiple sectors. You'll bridge commercial success with social impact by promoting training that enhances victim outcomes.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing your pipeline of leads across England and Wales, prioritizing follow-ups with existing clients while identifying new business opportunities. You'd spend time conducting virtual meetings with potential training clients, collaborating with internal delivery teams to ensure smooth service transitions, and documenting client interactions in the CRM system. The day would balance proactive outreach with responsive client service, all while tracking progress toward monthly income targets that directly fund victim support services.
