We are recruiting for our first ever HR, Learning and Development manager to develop and implement our people strategy and directly support our exciting scale goals.

ABOUT US

Lively Minds is an award-winning NGO working to get preschoolers in rural Ghana & Uganda school-ready.

Over 250 million children under 5 years globally do not get the early childhood care and education (“ECCE”) they need, leading to poor health, poor education, lost life opportunities and poverty. We believe that one of the main barriers to ECCE is that parents in remote resource-poor villages lack the information, education and aspiration to provide basic and affordable opportunities for their children. We have developed an innovative behavior-change programme that empowers marginalized, poorly educated Mothers to run educational Play Schemes for preschoolers and to provide better home-based care, using cheap local resources.  Not only does this result in positive outcomes for child development, but also has positive impacts for the Mothers too.

These are exciting times for Lively Minds. In Ghana, we are finalising a partnership agreement with Ministry of Education (MOE) and Ghana Education Service to integrate the programme in to the national kindergarten system and scale across 60 rural districts in the northern regions of the country, reaching approximately 4000 kindergartens and 1.1million children. Our programme in Uganda is in a test and position for scale stage with the long-term aim of national roll-out. Our long-term goal is for the programme to be adopted in several countries in the global south so that it can have a large impact in tackling the global early childhood development crisis.

Over the next year we will be expanding our Ghanaian team significantly and building strategies to support our organisation’s scale-up.

Overview
Justlife works with people who are close to the streets, living in unsupported temporary accommodation (UTA). Justlife exists because we know that every time we don’t act another person living in unsupported temporary accommodation suffers. They suffer with deteriorating mental and physical health, become victims of crime, lose control of their life, drop off the bottom rung of the housing ladder or die prematurely. Our vision
is clear and simple: to make people’s experience of housing vulnerability as short, safe and healthy as possible.
Justlife works in Manchester providing re-housing advice, benefits advice and one-to-one key work support to empower vulnerable adults housed in UTA to move towards more secure housing, independent living and improved health and wellbeing. We run a similar project in Brighton alongside a Hospital Discharge Project
which, in partnership with the specialist homeless GP service Arch Healthcare, provides support to homeless people discharged from hospital into UTA.
Justlife have recently completed research mapping out the number of UTAs across Greater Manchester. Tenants were found to have low levels of wellbeing, were isolated, faced accommodation issues (poor food, no heating
or hot water, limited access to kitchens, and feeling their accommodation was chaotic), experienced deteriorating mental or physical health and felt that they were limited in the support they could access.
Now that we know WHERE individuals are, in the coming year we intend to roll out a new ‘mobile’ model of operating - taking our work OUT to reach beneficiaries where they are, enabling more residents to find out about and access the support Justlife provides.

Job Summary – Specialist Support Worker

The role of Specialist Support Worker involves playing an active part in the Specialist Support Team by taking part in regular outreach visits to UTA’s across Greater Manchester and supporting a caseload of clients that are experiencing varying stages of housing vulnerability. The role requires the use of specialist knowledge and relationship skills to support clients with varying degrees of mental health, addiction and trauma related issues
to engage with health services and to access suitable housing solutions. The Specialist Support Worker is also expected to develop good working relationships with UTA Landlords and Managers recognising the important role that they play in ensuring that their tenant’s experience of UTA’s is as positive as possible. This will include advocacy in registering them for medical services and accompanying them to appointments;
assisting them in addressing all aspects of physical and mental health and addiction needs, as well as advocating for them to get access to suitable housing and social security benefits. The role is dependent on excellent communication and joint working with colleagues and a variety of partners and professionals.
The role requires a high degree of motivation in addition to creativity and flexibility to support complex and vulnerable people. With a passion to work collaboratively with others for the good of our clients, and with some experience of working in a related field in a voluntary or paid capacity.
A high degree of emotional intelligence is required to support clients, many of whom have complex emotional needs, with backgrounds of trauma, neglect, abuse, crime and low self-worth. In a role of this nature you will experience a range of emotions from joy to grief and as such it requires a high degree of resilience to cope with
the emotional demands of the role.
Making decisions in the moment to do the right thing to mitigate risk with clients can place high emotional demands on the job holder. At times the role can be reactive and unpredictable. The role requires a high degree of self-awareness to one’s own resilience levels and exercising appropriate levels of self-care. The role sits within
a highly supportive team with all staff in receipt of regular line management, external clinical supervision and professional training. With reflective practice actively encouraged in weekly team meetings.

Head of Resources

Woodcraft Folk are looking to appoint a Head of Resources to join a newly formed Senior Management Team for the organisation.

Woodcraft Folk is a co-operative youth movement open to everyone. We support children to take the lead and change the world through weekly group nights and camps. Woodcraft Folk activities develop children’s understanding of the world around them and help them to span the world with friendship. We’ve been running since 1925 and we’re still going strong!

Reporting to the CEO, you will work closely with the Senior Management Team, to develop the vision for Woodcraft Folk, focusing particularly on the Finance, IT and HR systems. Woodcraft Folk has small financial resources (annual income of approx £1.5m and less than 20 staff) but significant human resources in the form of over 3,000 volunteers who play many roles, including over 100 volunteer treasurers. The Head of Resources needs to bring a professional approach to Woodcraft Folk’s systems and controls, balanced with an understanding of how to motivate and support volunteers.

Covid-19 has had a significant impact on the charity’s operations and we moved swiftly to online provision of quality education for social change. Woodcraft has 5 outdoor centres and campsites providing education through group accommodation. The centres are currently only able to offer accommodation to family groups. The Head of Resources will need to produce regular income reforecasts as society opens up and we are able to host groups of young people again.

Woodcraft Folk has decided that all staff who used to be based in our London office will now be based at home. This will enable the South London offices to be sold and release funds to invest in our educational work. The Head of Resources will lead on this sale.

The Head of Resources will be joining Woodcraft Folk at a time of significant change for the organisation. If you are a qualified accountant with strong financial management experience, gained preferably in the charity sector; and if you have a breadth of management experience and are looking for a senior management role, then we would like to hear from you!
