A high capacity, resourceful project manager and effective leader of staff and volunteers is needed to coordinate the operational activities to deliver the mission of Samaritan’s Purse UK both internationally and in the UK.

The major annual project is to lead all the operational and logistical aspects of resourcing, receiving, collecting, processing and exporting all Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts donated each year by thousands of churches, schools and workplaces nationwide, which are then distributed through local churches in communities of great need globally. You will also be required to assist in other relief projects as they arise.

You will excel at analysing and interpreting data and information, and producing workable solutions to a range of problems. You will enjoy building wide and effective networks of contacts inside and outside the organisation; relating well to people at all levels. You will have a strong record of consistently achieving project goals, working systematically but also adjusting resourcefully to contingencies.  You will have proven people and project management experience.

In accordance with the Equality Act of 2010 and due to both the nature and context of the role there is an ‘occupational requirement’ for the post holder to be a committed Christian. The job holder should be committed to the purpose of Samaritan’s Purse and be able to demonstrate enthusiasm for the Christian purposes of the organisation and be able to live out, hold to, support and contribute to its Christian ethos.

Mermaids has evolved into one of the UK’s leading LGBTQ+ charities, empowering thousands of people with its secure online communities, local community groups, helpline services, web resources, events, training, legal support, policy and stakeholder engagement and residential weekends. 

The young people, children and families that we support are at the heart of everything we do at Mermaids. Local groups provide a safe space for these families to get together, make friends and offer each other support. As our work has expanded, so has the demand for these local groups. The purpose of this role is to manage our existing groups, set up new ones and look for ways to engage with service users we don’t currently see represented in our local group settings.

Bikeworks is looking for an Operations Manager to join our team. The role will work in collaboration with our new Programmes Manager, Finance Manager and Head of Business Development, under guidance from the CEO, as a member of the Senior Management Team. It is our expectation that as we grow, you will want to grow with us.

At Bikeworks we target communities who experience significant and disproportionate inequalities. Never has our role as a community-evolved social enterprise been more important as we continue to live with the effects of the pandemic.

The Operations Manager is responsible for overseeing and managing the successful delivery of our established commercial activities from the Bikeworks overall offer. You will be responsible for maintaining good relationships and communication with external stakeholders, while optimising processes that focus on the quality, efficiency and value for money of our delivery as a social enterprise, balancing at all times our social, environmental and financial bottom line. The role also has responsibility for ensuring all policies and procedures are implemented, updated and adhered to. 

In alignment with the Programmes Manager, the Operations Manager is responsible for the strengthening of our ‘eco-system’ of projects and activities, making sure each element works together to achieve our mission by promoting internal joined-up thinking and approaches. You will lead on the development of staff, freelancers and volunteers to achieve contractual outputs and outcomes, at a time when Bikeworks is scaling and has diversified its delivery model.   

Operation Christmas Child UK (OCC) has implemented a strategic volunteer ministry, investing in teams of volunteers who will multiply themselves and hugely extend the reach of OCC’s mission.

OCC is the world’s largest shoebox appeal where Samaritan’s Purse, together with local churches here and overseas, distributes from the UK hundreds of thousands of gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need overseas and in so doing demonstrates God’s love in a tangible way while sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

A resourceful and dedicated Regional Volunteer Manager is needed to recruit, select, equip, and lead teams of volunteers throughout Yorkshire, Humberside, East Midlands and North East England.

You will be passionate about developing others towards highly effective ministry, teamwork and increased personal competency.

You will be confident to take initiative with people and projects and have proven people and project management skills, administrative and organisational skills.

You will be effective at directly engaging churches to participate in OCC in areas not yet covered by volunteers, to model and coach effective engagement activity to volunteers. 

This role is based in region and so prospective candidates should currently live in the region and provide their own transport. Given the existing and potential supporter base in South and West Yorkshire, it is strongly preferred that the role holder lives in or close to this area.

In accordance with the Equality Act of 2010 and due to both the nature and context of the role there is an ‘occupational requirement’ for the post holder to be a committed Christian. The job holder should be committed to the purpose of Samaritan’s Purse and be able to demonstrate enthusiasm for the Christian purposes of the organisation and be able to live out, hold to, support and contribute to its Christian ethos.

This is a really exciting role in a small, focused charity which will provide the successful candidate with a range of powerful, challenging and rewarding opportunities. The position is central to our core goals and includes working with young people, children and their families, much-admired corporate partners and providing innovative campaigns across traditional and social media channels. Fundamental to the role is placing moving and inspirational stories in the press about the impact of a child’s cancer diagnosis on both the child and family, helping to raise awareness thereby driving early diagnosis and ensuring the charity has a strong digital and social media presence.

We are looking for a talented, experienced, highly motivated professional to continue to develop our communications ensuring the effectiveness of all our engagement with supporters, stakeholders, healthcare professionals and the general public.

This role will be responsible for the development, management and implementation of a collection of inter-related projects.  These projects comprise the implementation of two of the recommendations in the IICSA Report and other related developments which the Church has been planning.

In Phase One, this programme of projects will be introduced with a group of “pathfinder” dioceses and cathedrals. Following evaluation and adjustment, Phase Two will be rolled out across the Church.

The five projects which make up this role are:

1. The implementation of IICSA Recommendation 1

This is a major structural change in which the role of “Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser” changes to a new one of “Diocesan Safeguarding Officer” with greater autonomy. Supervision arrangements also change from being arranged locally to being directly supervised and quality assured by the National Safeguarding Team.

2. The introduction on a pilot basis of a “regionalised” model of support for dioceses and cathedrals in respect of safeguarding.

This is the second major, and related, structural change. In this pilot Regional Safeguarding Leads (RSLs) will be appointed to work with small groups of dioceses and cathedrals. The RSLs will supervise the dioceses’ / cathedrals’ safeguarding advisers but will also lead cross-diocese developments such as survivor engagement, sharing of expertise and good practice, joint commissioning of resources, peer review.

3.The implementation of IICSA Recommendation 8.

This involves the design and implementation of independent external auditing of the Church’s safeguarding practices.

4. The introduction of the Church’s quality assurance framework and national safeguarding standards.

The Church has a draft quality assurance framework. This now needs to be introduced into use in the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals so that it can be further developed in readiness for implementation across the Church.

5. The development of a consistent methodology to enable dioceses and cathedrals to assess local safeguarding need and determine the resources needed to deliver good safeguarding practice.

The 42 dioceses and 42 cathedrals are responsible for the funding of their safeguarding arrangements (which include, for example, investigation of allegations, responding to survivors, training, quality assurance). The level of funding varies considerably between dioceses / cathedrals. One reason for this is the lack of a consistent methodology to assess both local need and the resources needed to achieve a good standard of safeguarding.

The role is based in the National Safeguarding Team but also links with the Church’s Project Management Office.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Planning and co-designing (with the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals) the projects and proactively monitoring progress, resolving issues and initiating appropriate corrective action.
• Ensuring the integrity and coherence of the projects, and its continuous alignment with organisational strategies and departmental goals.
• Developing the plans for the delivery of the individual projects, setting out the key actions, steps and timescales needed for each project, the critical paths and the co-dependencies / interfaces between them.
• Leading on the direct management and delivery of specific elements of the projects. 
• Establishing effective working relationships (individually and collectively) with the key stakeholders in the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals. This will include, in particular, bishops, diocesan secretaries, deans, cathedral administrators, and diocesan and cathedral safeguarding advisers.
• Supporting the pathfinder dioceses and cathedrals in the establishment of local project groups and governance arrangements.
• Developing arrangements for the engagement of victims and survivors of abuse in co-design and programme development.
• Managing risks to the programme's successful outcome.
• Developing the evaluation framework for Phase 1 and potentially leading the evaluation process.
• Developing the plan for roll out of the projects across the Church in Phase 2.

The main duties and responsibilities of your post are outlined in your job description.  This list is not exhaustive and is intended to reflect your main tasks and areas of work.  Changes may occur over time and you will be expected to agree any reasonable changes to your job description that are commensurate with your banding and in line with the general nature of your post.  You will be consulted about any changes to your job description before these are implemented.
