Deputy Manager Jobs

We’re looking for someone special to lead our Kitchen Club programme, supporting families with children under 5 in temporary accommodation. If you’re passionate about food, families and fairness, with the right skills and experience, then we’d love to hear from you!

At Kitchen Club, families with pre-school children work together to make a healthy lunch alongside activities to support children's learning and development. We aim to support families by improving outcomes in five key areas:

· Nutrition

· The home learning environment

· Mental wellbeing

· Social connection

· Access to information & support

With management responsibility for up to 8 part-time staff, this is a crucial role within our small but growing organisation, combining team leadership with hands-on support for session delivery, including helping with the washing up if that’s what is needed!

We work with families who face a range of significant challenges, including low income, trauma, and inadequate housing. An important aspect of this job is working closely with the delivery team to understand and respond to individual and group needs. The Programme Manager is responsible for ensuring that families have access to the right kind of support, both within sessions, and from external organisations, from food banks to Family Hubs.  

Since 2014, we’ve been working to make Kitchen Club more effective and establish a clear model for what ‘good’ looks like. The Kitchen Club Programme Manager will play a key role in continuing to drive improvement. We’re looking for someone who is ambitious about what can be achieved within our existing frameworks, but who is also able to contribute new ideas to enhance reach and impact, working closely with the Chief Executive to take our work to the next level.

Whoever joins our small but committed team will have the opportunity to make a vital difference for families who face significant and complex challenges.

Summary of key responsibilities

· Lead and support a diverse team of staff and volunteers to deliver high quality Kitchen Club sessions across up to 6 settings per week

· Ensure processes to recruit new families are effective, including outreach and referrals-in

· Liaise with senior contacts in key partner organisations

· Represent the Parent Club CIO, and the interests of Kitchen Club families, in policy and practice forums in Hackney and more widely

· Work with the Chief Executive and trustees to develop the 5-year strategic plan

The successful candidate will have a proven track record as a manager, with the ability to lead a diverse team of thoughtful, reflective practitioners. You may have a background in community work, early years, parenting support, psychological support services, or community food projects. Above all, you will be committed to delivering positive outcomes for disadvantaged families with young children.

We particularly encourage applications from people with knowledge and understanding of the diverse communities in Hackney and Haringey, and who speak languages used within them. Those with lived experience of bringing up children in challenging circumstances are also particularly welcome to apply.

We need to expand our Strategic Programme Team, as we begin to put in place the practical steps that will move us towards our vision to “bless the 1.5 million people” in our diocese who currently have no meaningful opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

You will play a key role in shaping, articulating and securing funding for our transformation plan, and helping to develop and then manage key elements of the Strategic Programme. 

The post is based at Church House, Daresbury, with some travel around the Diocese.  A full driving licence and access to a car is essential.

At Great Western Air Ambulance Charity, we’re going big on charity retail. We already have nine shops located in Westbury-on-Trym, Yate, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cinderford, Bath, Thornbury and Keynsham but plan to open up to four new shops a year over the next five years, giving our charity a physical presence in the heart of communities we have served since 2007. Our Portishead shop is one of our next to open so this is a superb opportunity.

The shops will sell a variety of goods, as well as being a hub for our charity activity locally. Our shops need to perform well financially to help fund our lifesaving service, but we also want them to be a place where everyone feels welcome, the local community can learn life-saving skills and former patients or supporters can pop in for a chat.

We are looking for an experienced retail staff who can lead and support the financial delivery, team engagement and community presence in our new Portishead shop. In return, we offer a competitive salary, the opportunity to be part of an amazing retail team and involvement in the exciting variety that retail growth will bring. We also believe strongly in developing individuals’ leadership skills and provide leadership development opportunities.

GWAAC is a great cause to work for, and we have amazing stories to tell and experiences to offer. Our work is very rewarding for our team too – at GWAAC we know that we are contributing to saving local lives every week. We’re looking for someone who shares our passion for that.

You would be joining GWAAC at an exciting time, as the charity continues to grow and innovate in the field of pre-hospital care. You will be supported in developing your skills and be part of a dedicated team committed to saving local lives.

We actively encourage applications from candidates from a range of backgrounds and experiences as part of our keen commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. GWAAC puts people first and upholds a culture of safeguarding.
