A bit about the role
This is a unique opportunity to step into a function at a pivotal moment in its development. The Risk & Assurance team has spent the past year designing and implementing TSA’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework — and we’re now moving into the next phase: embedding it into how the organisation really works.
Our focus is shifting from building the framework to making it practical, trusted and genuinely useful. That means supporting teams and volunteers to engage with risk in a confident and proportionate way, helping leadership use risk information in decision-making, and ensuring our approach continues to evolve as we learn what works.
We work across the whole organisation — from governance and strategy through to safeguarding, safety and digital — building strong relationships with staff and volunteers at all levels. Our aim is not just to “do risk management”, but to support better conversations, clearer thinking, and more informed decisions.
The team culture is open, thoughtful and collaborative. We focus on being practical and proportionate, and on working with people rather than “checking up” on them. As maternity cover for the Risk & Assurance Manager, you’ll play a key role in sustaining momentum and helping the organisation move from implementation to confident, consistent use of ERM
