Citizens UK 

Citizens UK is the UK’s biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems.

Living Wage Foundation 

The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.

Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation (LWF) continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting over 490,000 people and winning over £4bn of better wages for people who need it most.

Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty.  As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies. 

Purpose 

At Citizens UK (CUK), our organisers and project staff work within communities to develop leaders, strengthen organisations, campaign for change and organise across difference. There are various project roles and operational, communication, finance and HR roles that support the organisation and project staff and organisers to deliver on this mission and work. This work is rewarding and can be challenging; it requires a personal commitment to inclusion, a willingness to listen and disagree respectfully, and an interest in working in an organisation where our staff, member institutions and leaders will come from a diversity of backgrounds and often hold views that may be very different from our own. More information about how we operate within this context and build trusted relationships across difference can be found on our website and is covered in induction. Onboarding and navigating this relational culture, and type of work, is supported by line managers and further training.

Leading our busy frontline Support Team, you will ensure people receive compassionate, timely and high-quality support when they need it most.

You will lead the delivery and quality of our grant-giving service, ensuring applications are assessed fairly, consistently and confidently against Cavell’s criteria. But our support goes beyond a grant. You will help ensure we understand each person’s wider needs and connect them with the information, advice, practical support and specialist services that can make a lasting difference.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys both leading people and delivering services. You will work alongside the team to assess applications, coach and develop colleagues, manage demand and performance, and maintain high standards of decision-making. Using data, insight and frontline experience, you will also identify emerging needs and continually improve how Cavell supports the nursing and midwifery community.

You will play a key role in shaping a service that is compassionate, efficient, evidence-led and continually evolving around the needs of the people we support.

Overview of Responsibilities:

• Lead the day-to-day operation and quality of Cavell's grant-giving and support service, approving grant recommendations within delegated authority and ensuring applications are assessed fairly, accurately and consistently against Cavell's eligibility criteria, policies and available funds.

• Ensure applicants' wider needs are identified and, where appropriate, provide or facilitate information, advice, income maximisation, signposting and referral to Cavell services and external specialist support.
• Monitor team caseloads, demand and capacity, processing times and performance against Service Level Agreements, identifying emerging demand or capacity pressures and planning service coverage accordingly.
• Manage your own active caseload and assess applications alongside the team, particularly during periods of high demand.
• Lead the development and maintenance of the online Support Hub and other beneficiary-facing resources, ensuring information is accurate, current and useful, and using casework, data and recurring enquiries to identify gaps in information and self-guided support.

2. Safeguarding, Risk and Compliance

• Ensure safeguarding concerns, vulnerability and risk identified through applications and casework are recognised, recorded, managed and escalated appropriately.
• Regularly quality-assure grant assessments, casework and decisions to ensure eligibility criteria, policies and procedures are applied consistently, with learning or corrective action where required.
• Ensure assessments and decisions are appropriately evidenced and recorded, with clear rationale and audit trails, particularly for complex or exceptional cases.
• Work with Finance and the Head of Services & Impact to ensure awards comply with restricted fund criteria and delegated authority, monitor grant expenditure and available balances, and identify financial pressures early.

3. Data, Insight, Evaluation and Reporting.

• Collect, analyse, and present performance and outcome data in reports, dashboards, and evaluations to demonstrate the difference Cavell’s support makes to the nursing professionals we support.
• Lead continuous improvement of operational processes, workflows and systems, using data, applicant feedback and frontline learning to make support simpler, faster, more consistent and more compassionate. You will work with relevant colleagues and suppliers where required.
• Identify and report emerging needs, trends, operational pressures and risks from service data and frontline experience, providing insight to support service development, organisational planning, research and advocacy.
