About us 

Smart Works Leeds is part of Smart Works Charity, a UK charity that provides high quality interview clothes, styling advice and interview training to women in need. We give women the confidence, the self-belief and the practical tools they require to succeed at interview and start a new chapter in their lives.

Smart Works started in one location in London. We carefully built our understanding and expertise until we were ready to open in other locations, and could take our service to help more women. We are now operating in Edinburgh, Manchester, Reading, Birmingham, Newcastle and Leeds. 

At the core of the Smart Works service is a two-hour appointment, during which time each woman receives a complete outfit of high-quality clothes (theirs to keep) and dedicated one-to-one interview coaching. This short intervention has a significant impact as our clients start believing in their own ability to succeed.

All our service delivery (the dressing session and the interview coaching) is delivered by trained volunteers. Our volunteers are all highly skilled and dedicate their time to helping our clients succeed. Their reward is seeing the impact of unlocking a woman’s confidence and finding out that the woman they saw has gone on to succeed at interview and move on with her life.

Whilst Leeds and Bradford have one of the youngest and fastest-growing labour markets in the UK, a factor in attracting Channel 4, there is a significant need to support women in this region who find it more challenging to enter the job market. With the support of this brilliant city and the talented people who live here we will get off to a flying start here in Leeds. 

The need for this addition to our team is to focus on raising funds for our biggest fundraising opportunity of the year; “Cycle for Smart Works”.  This is part of a national Smart Works campaign, where fundraising responsibility lies with each Centre. 

A highly organised and positive individual, you will be passionate about empowering women to thrive in work and life. You will be a strong communicator, both verbally and in writing, be able to multi-task, think on your feet and bring a determination to meet our aim of helping as many women as we can back into work.

The role would be based in Leeds City Centre, and there may be occasional evening and weekend work as the role holder will provide key events support. 

Smart Works Leeds is part of Smart Works Charity, and may will be some travel to London and liaison with the HQ team to support on induction, training and participation in regular meetings, phone calls and conferences with other Smart Works centres across the UK.

With over 1,000 members, we present a strong and unified voice to lobby on behalf of the sector, and ensure services can deliver the best quality care and support tailored to each family’s needs. We work tirelessly to raise awareness and understanding about childhood death and campaign for policy change, so every child and family can get the right care and support.

And we raise vital funds through our award-winning national corporate partnerships to ensure that children’s hospice care not only continues but continues to improve. With the support of our dedicated corporate partners, we have raised over £25 million since 2003 to support children’s hospices across the UK.
