About us

Carers UK is the leading national charity, supporting, advocating for and connecting unpaid carers across the UK.

Unpaid Carers are those providing support for family, friends, relatives or loved ones.

With over 6.5 million unpaid carers in the UK and 6,000 individuals becoming a carer every day the need to support them is growing and urgent. Unpaid carers save the country an estimated £530 million each day and are vital to the friends and family members they support, as well as to the wider community.

COVID-19 has dramatically affected carers across the country. Our recent polling suggests that the figure for unpaid carers could now be as high as 13.6 million, with 4.5 million people starting to care overnight due to the impact on coronavirus on services and individuals.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented throughout Citizens Advice. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK.

In Customer Journey we often design digital services and products, but we’re not limited to digital. Our Service Designers work on discoveries, prototypes and continuous improvements that span the breadth of our services. We believe Service Design is about understanding, translating and joining up user and organisational needs into the end-to-end design of valuable services - no matter the channel.

In this role, you’ll lead a multi-level team of service designers working in multifunctional teams across a variety of services and products, in partnership with development and service delivery teams across Citizens Advice: you will create the right conditions for Service Designers to work effectively, set the strategic direction of their practice, assure the quality of our work, and ensure we always design with all users in mind.

The Prince’s Trust is excited to be recruiting passionate people across England and Wales, to work with and support young people via the Government’s new Kickstart scheme!

What is Kickstart?

The Kickstart Scheme is the UK government’s flagship employability scheme for young people in response to the COVID pandemic and provides funding to employers to create job placements for 16-24 year olds on Universal Credit. For further information, please visit our website (this will open in a new window).

Objectives:

To help young people make the most of their Kickstart placement and build the skills and confidence to sustain employment beyond.

What will I do?

As a Prince’s Trust Executive, you will be delivering a combination of group workshops, webinars and 1-to-1 support in employability and personal and social development. You will also provide ‘buddy training’ for employers to help them support young people during their placements.

You must be comfortable delivering programmes on virtual platforms, as all sessions will be delivered virtually. You may at some point, be asked to occasionally deliver face-to-face, but there are no plans for this anytime soon.

Requirements:

We are particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals with the following:

• You engage in challenges with optimism and resilience.
• You are adaptive and flexible, ready to embrace change and innovation.
• You are experienced in Employment training in both a 1-to-1 setting and in group sessions.
• You have experience in partnership management to engage with employers effectively.
• You deliver high-quality learning & development sessions to young people.
• You are a natural and effective communicator, delivering excellent customer service.
• You are passionate about making the right decision for young people.

For a full list of essential and desirable requirements, please click here for the job description. You can also head to our ‘Working with young people’ page for more information. (These will open in a new window, however, if you're viewing from an external job board, please click apply to be directed to our website.)

We work with young people from every background, so we’re passionate about building a diverse workforce that represents the young people we support. We, therefore, welcome applications from everyone who meets the essential criteria for the role. If you think you could do the role, but don’t have all the desirable experience, we would still love for you to apply, as you’ll have the chance to complete a supporting statement to let us know what you would bring to the table, that will help young people on the Kickstart scheme.

Why we need Prince's Trust Executives:

Senior Project Manager

Cardiff (but currently remote working due to Government Guidance)

28 hours per week

This role is a Fixed Term Contract (ending 31st January 2022 - but with the potential to extend until the 31st January 2023)

JobSense is a collaborative employment support project (RNID being the lead partner), which supports people who are deaf or have hearing loss and people who are blind or have sight loss, into volunteering and paid work. The c£3m project is funded by the Wales European Funding Office (WEFO).

This senior role will lead the JobSense project by planning and overseeing all aspects of project delivery; including co-ordinating the partnership, monitoring progress against planned performance, ensuring key milestones are met and managing a complex budget, requiring stringent reporting and compliance.

The successful applicant will have strong leadership skills, be confident in managing a large budget with excellent attention to detail and have demonstrable experience of successfully monitoring and managing a diverse project. Experience of European funding requirements, or the ability to quickly learn and apply the requirements, is essential. Familiarity with the employment policy landscape in Wales is advantageous.

Communication is a basic human need. Yet most of us know someone who struggles to communicate through hearing loss. It can cause substantial harm to friendships, family relationships, confidence, employability, mental health and life chances.

The RNID (formerly Action on Hearing Loss) is the UK’s largest charity for the 11 million people in the UK who confront deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss every day. Established in 1911, we help people to take control of their lives and live the life they choose, removing the barriers standing in their way. We give people support and care, develop technology and treatments, and campaign for equality. 

We champion the value of difference and equality and celebrate our diverse and inclusive workforce. We actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from BAME backgrounds or who are deaf or hard of hearing. With almost 20% of our employees having a disability we proudly hold Disability Confident Leader status and guarantee an interview for disabled applicants meeting the minimum essential criteria.

Natural Resources Wales is a young and ambitious organisation with a unique remit that is breaking new ground in its sustainable management of Wales’ precious natural resources. When natural resources and our ecosystems flourish, society and the economy thrive as well. Established in 2013 by the Welsh Government, this pan-Wales organisation of 2000 people with a budget of £200m is the first of its kind in the world to bring together the tools needed to manage, maintain, enhance and sustain natural resources. NRW have a unique legislative framework within Wales that gives exceptional scope for this role to make a real difference on a significant scale. The organisation wants to be one of the first to leave the natural environment in a better state than they found it in, and to help improve the well-being and prosperity of the people of Wales.

Due to a restructure, NRW seek a Head of Sustainable Commercial Development to join their leadership team. This role offers an exceptional opportunity for someone with a passion for the sustainable management of natural resources and commercial development to lead a team of c. 35 staff in Commercial and Business Development and an annual budget of £30m timber sales, £13m commercial income, and £11.5m spend.

NRW’s commercial activities including Energy, Timber, Tourism & Recreation, Culture and Analytical Services provide an important income stream at a time when public funding continues to be stretched to cover more and go further with less. However, their commercial activity is not focused on financial gain alone. Planet and People are as important as ‘Profit’ (income/investment) and NRW are focused on Prosperity for Wales.

NRW are looking for an inspiring individual with passion who can nurture the organisation to grow in confidence in its commercial delivery, the energy to help NRW, customers and partners achieve their goals, shape their long-term commercial proposition and realise their potential as an organisation.

The closing date for applications is Friday 23rd April 2021 at 12pm.
