Rent-flex

The Customer Relationship (rent-flex) officer will play a critical role in the delivery of a pilot involving three housing associations testing the rent-flex platform. This platform enables residents to propose monthly payment plans so that they can underpay and overpay according to demands on their income.

The first part of this pilot involving residents of Optivo has already started and over 450 residents have signed up to the rent-flex platform. Your role would be to work with the dedicated contact at Optivo, liaising with him around issues relating to the platform, discussing practical learning from the current pilot and responding to requests for support.

We have now secured funding to expand this pilot to involve another two housing associations: MTVH and Inquilab. We will be onboarding these two HAs in October and November. Your role will be to work with consortium members to develop and codify the onboarding process, taking a lead in liaising with dedicated personnel within each housing association. As each HA is onboarded onto the platform, you will then lead on a day-to-day basis with them, supporting the promotion and onboarding of residents onto the rent-flex platform.

We are in the process of developing a reporting dashboard and you will take a lead in monitoring this, identifying where there are issues with any of the three pilot organisations. You will also be a point of contact for the independent evaluators, IFF Research, as they conduct their ongoing evaluation of the pilots.

We are also looking to secure further funding to onboard additional housing associations onto the pilot, so that we can test the platform across multiple audiences. If and when this happens, you will be responsible for onboarding and managing these relationships.

HACT also sells licenses to its UK Social Value Bank and has plans to develop further licensing and subscription products in the future.

Welcome Churches’ vision is for every refugee to be welcomed by the local church. We do this by equipping and resourcing churches to welcome refugees and asylum seekers to their local community and by profiling them on our national Welcome Network. In 2021 so far our Welcome Network of refugee-welcoming churches has grown to over 600 churches across the UK and this number is increasing every month. Most recently we have been responding to the urgent need to help welcome newly-arrived Afghans to the UK, since the collapse of the Afghan government in August. At the end of September we had connected around 2500 Afghans with their local church and provided training to over 400 local church volunteers to be ready to welcome them. We have helped to establish the ‘Afghan Welcome’ response across different organisations.

In addition to responding to urgent needs, we have a number of projects which churches can run. We provide a variety of training and resources to churches to support, disciple and include refugees in all aspects of church life.  Our Welcome Boxes project provides a way for churches to proactively welcome newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers in their location. We train Coordinators and volunteer Welcomers from the church to visit those newly arriving, welcome them with a Welcome Box and continue to welcome the family or individual over a period of 3 months, introducing them to others in the church community and wider community.  Another of our newer projects, Welcome Holidays, provides an opportunity for refugees to enjoy a short break somewhere new in the UK, hosted by a church who generously provide hospitality and some planned days of holiday. 

We are at a pivotal moment as a charity as demand for our work is growing exponentially. We are seeking to provide consistent and high quality support to churches in our Welcome Network, focusing initially on churches in areas with high numbers of asylum seekers and refugees. This role will particularly focus on engaging with churches and other refugee-related organisations in the North of England regions respectively, supporting and equipping churches, delivering Welcome Churches training to churches and engaging with churches not yet in our Welcome Network. 

The Regional Coordinator roles would be suitable for a self-motivated leader with knowledge and experience of supporting refugees and asylum seekers at a local level. You should be able to relate well with church leaders of all backgrounds and work professionally in local partnerships across organisations supporting refugees and asylum seekers.  We are a highly-committed team who work collaboratively to support one another. 

Applicants are required to have an active Christian faith and be passionate about the UK Church welcoming refugees into the church community. Applicants from a refugee background are strongly encouraged to apply.

About the Organisation

Stroke Association. Rebuilding lives after stroke.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.

We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.

We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

We’re working to improve the diversity of our team.  Because we know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for those affected by stroke.

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. And we’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke and those from under-represented communities. 

Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.

To help us deliver our strategy and make a real difference, we are looking to recruit talented people to a number of new roles.
