This is a unique opportunity for an astute, super-efficient, fast learner to join the first international climate campaign organisation focused on the steel sector, one of the largest and least-challenged drivers of climate change. In this role, you will provide critical executive administrative support to our Executive Director and leadership team in a fast-moving and developing organisation, bringing invaluable organisational expertise that we need to thrive.

You’ll use your own trade skills and coordinate with contractors and volunteers to complete tasks in plumbing, electrical work, general building maintenance, and appliance repair.

You’ll also play a key part in our planned maintenance programme, keeping records up to date and advising on improvements where needed. Occasionally, you’ll supervise and support residents as they take part in maintenance work, helping them develop new skills and confidence as part of their recovery journey.

Beyond the practical side, this role is about people. You’ll be part of a caring, faith-based community that supports men overcoming substance misuse. You’ll have opportunities to encourage residents in their recovery and spiritual growth, participate in times of prayer and worship, and contribute to the wider life of Yeldall Manor.

We’re looking for someone who is hands-on, organised, and able to maintain firm but caring boundaries. You’ll need to be comfortable working as part of a team, supporting others, and upholding the Christian ethos and values that underpin everything we do.

Yeldall Manor is a Christian organisation, and this role carries an occupational requirement for the successful candidate to be a committed and practising Christian, able to support residents in their spiritual journey (in accordance with Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010).

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our residents. The successful candidate will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check.

If you’re ready to use your practical skills to help transform lives, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your CV and a covering letter explaining your suitability for the role as outlined in the job description.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Yeldall Manor team!
