What is The Multibank?

The Multibank is a clothes, bedding, baby, hygiene, toys and furniture bank all rolled into one.

Our idea is simple: businesses have surplus products that people need, while local charities and community organisations know the families who need them. The Multibank connects the two — getting essential products to people experiencing poverty, free at the point of delivery and with dignity at every step.

We were founded on the belief that businesses can help solve a social problem while addressing a business challenge. We take perfectly good products that businesses can no longer sell and put them to good use, helping alleviate some of the everyday challenges faced by families across the UK, while keeping products in use and contributing to a more sustainable economy.

While surplus is at the heart of our model, we also welcome product donations and use at-cost purchasing where needed to ensure we can provide the right products to meet demand.

We are a growing national charity, with an expanding network of Multibanks and an increasingly diverse group of business partners. As we grow, we're developing the supply partnerships, systems and processes needed to get more of the right products to more people.

What is the role and its impact?

We're looking for an experienced Supply & Partnerships Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day supply function at The Multibank.

You'll make sure products move efficiently from our supply partners through the Multibank network, while building strong relationships with suppliers and regional Multibanks and continually improving how we manage supply.

This is a hands-on role with significant responsibility. You'll manage the detail of stock offers, allocations and logistics, while also understanding the bigger picture and identifying opportunities to improve our systems, processes and supply base.

You'll work closely with the Director of Supply & Partnerships, taking ownership of operational supply and creating capacity for the Director to focus on strategic supply growth, senior partnerships and supporting the development of the wider Multibank network.

It's an opportunity to play a key role in helping The Multibank scale — ensuring we have the products, partnerships and systems needed to meet growing demand.

What you'll be working on

Supply operations

• You'll own the day-to-day movement of products from initial offer through to allocation and delivery.
• You'll act as the main operational contact for supply partners, providing a responsive and straightforward service.
• You'll coordinate product offers, allocations and deliveries across the Multibank network.
• You'll manage and triage the partnerships inbox, ensuring enquiries are responded to promptly.
• You'll work with Palletline and other logistics partners to coordinate the movement of products.
• You'll track stock movements and proactively identify and resolve issues.

Supply partnerships

• You'll build and maintain strong relationships with existing supply partners.
• You'll identify opportunities to increase the volume and range of support from existing partners.
• You'll prepare tailored partner updates and reports.
• You'll work with the Director of Supply & Partnerships on strategic partner relationships and new opportunities.

Supply development and insight

• You'll develop a strong understanding of product demand across the Multibank network.
• You'll identify gaps and opportunities across supply and demand.
• You'll support the development of new sources of surplus, donations and low-cost purchasing.
• You'll use data and insight to inform supply decisions and help us build a more diverse and resilient supply base.

Systems and improvement

• You'll own and improve the systems and processes used to manage supply.
• You'll identify operational bottlenecks and develop practical solutions.
• You'll improve visibility of supply, demand, allocations and stock movements.
• You'll lead or contribute to projects that enable the supply function to scale.

This job is for you if…

• You have experience in supply, operations, partnerships, account management or a similar role.
• You're comfortable managing multiple relationships, priorities and processes simultaneously.
• You're highly organised, with strong attention to detail.
• You have strong written and verbal communication skills.
• You're confident building trusted relationships with corporate partners and internal stakeholders.
• You're proactive, solutions-focused and comfortable taking ownership.
• You're able to work independently and make decisions with limited day-to-day direction.
• You're confident working with data and using insight to inform decisions.
• You're comfortable working in a fast-paced or growing organisation where priorities and processes can evolve.
• You care about The Multibank's mission and the difference our work makes.

Experience of logistics, surplus redistribution, donations or working within the charity/social impact sector would be advantageous, but you don't need to come from a traditional logistics background. We're interested in transferable experience and people who can demonstrate strong organisation, relationship management, problem-solving and attention to detail.

A growing charity

The Multibank is a relatively young charity that has grown quickly, with an entrepreneurial and ambitious culture. We are now at an exciting stage of development, building our team and putting the structures, policies and processes in place to support our next phase of growth. Many of these are still in their infancy, which means there is plenty of opportunity to shape how we work. To be successful in this role, you'll need to be comfortable with some ambiguity, enjoy finding practical solutions and be excited by the opportunity to help build the systems and processes of a growing charity.

Why join The Multibank?

This is an exciting time to join The Multibank. We're growing our national network and developing the supply model needed to support that growth.

You'll have the opportunity to shape how we manage supply at scale, strengthen relationships with businesses and help build access to the right products for the communities we support.

You'll also have significant autonomy and the opportunity to make a tangible difference in a small, ambitious and rapidly growing charity.

How to apply

Alongside your CV, please provide a short covering statement addressing the following:

• What attracts you to The Multibank and this opportunity?
• Organisation and coordination: Tell us about a time when you have had to manage multiple moving parts or competing priorities to get something delivered.
• Relationships: Tell us about your experience building and managing relationships with customers, suppliers, partners or other stakeholders.

We expect significant interest in this role and may close the advert early if we receive a strong field of candidates.

We believe in flexibility and trust. We’re happy to work with the successful candidate to find a working pattern that works for both them and the organisation. This could include flexibility around when hours are worked, alongside the option to consider a slightly reduced-hours arrangement for the right candidate.

We're a small and growing team, so there will be times when collaboration and availability are important, but we focus on outcomes rather than being prescriptive about when or where work is done.

We also recognise that people don't always meet every requirement listed in a job description. If you're excited about the role and can demonstrate strong organisational, relationship-building and problem-solving skills, we'd encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match everything we've described. The role involves occasional UK travel, including to meet supply partners, Multibanks and colleagues.

About the role 

This is an exciting opportunity to join Women and Girls Network's Senior Leadership Team and lead two of our most impactful service areas: the Intersectional and Anti-Oppressive (IOS) Team and the Criminal Justice and Violence Against Women & Girls (CJS, VAWG) Team. 

As Head of Services, you will play a vital role in shaping and driving services that support women and girls affected by gender-based violence, ensuring they receive empowering, trauma-informed and culturally responsive support.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced leader to make a lasting impact, both within our organisation and across the wider VAWG sector.

Job description 

As the Head of Services, you will:

• Lead and inspire the IOS and CJS, VAWG teams, providing strategic direction and oversight to ensure services are accessible, high-quality, survivor-centred and aligned with WGN's feminist values and vision.
• Champion intersectional and anti-oppressive practice, ensuring services are responsive to the diverse experiences of women and girls, particularly those from Black and Global Majority communities and others facing systemic barriers.
• Drive excellence in service delivery, safeguarding and quality assurance, ensuring robust risk management and compliance while creating environments where survivors can heal, recover and thrive.
• Lead, support and develop Service Managers, fostering a culture of collaboration, wellbeing, accountability and continuous learning that enables staff to deliver their best work.
• Build influential partnerships across statutory, voluntary and community sectors, strengthening pathways for survivors and ensuring WGN's expertise informs local, regional and national responses to violence against women and girls.  
• Use insight, evidence and survivor feedback to evaluate impact, drive innovation and shape the future development of services, ensuring they continue to meet emerging need and deliver meaningful change.
• Represent WGN as a sector leader, advocating for systemic change and helping to create a society where all women and girls can live free from violence, inequality and discrimination.

The Programme Manager will provide leadership for the Meet N Match programme, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, inclusive services that support people with learning disabilities and autistic adults to build friendships, develop relationships and increase social connections. Meet N Match is our friendship and dating agency, supporting people to develop friendships, relationships and greater independence. Alongside relationship support, the programme delivers a range of inclusive social events that reduce social isolation and create opportunities for people to build meaningful connections. Now in its tenth year and funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, Meet N Match continues to respond to a growing demand for high-quality relationship and social opportunities.

Alongside leading a small team who provide the day-to-day delivery of Meet N Match, an exciting part of this role is the development of a new Partnership Network. This is an exciting opportunity to shape an innovative model that will enable other organisations to deliver inclusive social events using Spring into Action's framework, training and support. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the development of this model, with the long-term ambition of creating an accredited network that extends our reach, improves opportunities for people with learning disabilities and autistic people, and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the organisation.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone to help shape the future direction of Meet N Match while supporting Spring into Action's long-term sustainability.

The role                     

To place ex-offender candidates into sustainable paid employment with local employers

Purpose

We place people with convictions into paid work, so they can build purposeful lives and see their families thrive

Mission

We do this by providing practical employment support, linking them to companies with good jobs

Vision

A  society  where  people’s  past  convictions  don’t  define  their  employment future

Duties and Tasks

There are three main areas of work, all of which are vital to achieving the key positive outcome for the individuals we support: sustained meaningful employment.

1. Job Finder Support

Interviewing ex-offenders, offering one-to-one job coaching to help them into work, and providing ongoing mentoring for the first 12 months in employment.

Ours is a face-to-face, holistic and wraparound service that culminates in our candidates finding good jobs that last, with a wide array of socially inclusive employers on our books. Our job finder support can begin in custody and continue through the gate into the community, or start in the community. Typically, we will work with a person for between one and three months to establish work readiness and will continue to support them for up to a year once they find employment. Many people stay in touch and return to us for their second or third job over a period of years, and we consider our door to be open for as long as support is needed.

You will:

• Conduct one-to-one assessments with job-seeking candidates and, using your professional judgement, accept them directly into our paid-work search services or refer them to partner organisations for pre-employability support where issues such as substance misuse or homelessness remain significant barriers.
• Work with candidates over several weeks and months as a job mentor, meeting regularly to assist in all aspects of their job search.
• Help craft strong CVs and disclosure letters, ensuring candidates understand the facts and disclosure obligations relating to spent and unspent convictions.
• Check that candidates have the correct Right to Work documentation and arrange replacement birth certificates and National Insurance letters where required.
• Book candidates onto relevant training courses with third-party providers, including CSCS cards, HGV driver training and renewable energy qualifications.
• Encourage and support candidates in their own job search activity, including teaching them how to use online job boards and complete application forms.
• Submit candidates for vacancies with our inclusive employer partners and proactively identify additional opportunities on their behalf.
• Organise interviews, ensuring candidates have suitable interview clothing and the financial means to travel to interviews where required.
• Follow up immediately after interviews, helping candidates process outcomes, manage expectations and rebuild confidence if unsuccessful.
• Confirm job starts with both candidate and employer, ensuring candidates have access to any required workwear and travel-to-work support.
• Offer practical assistance as needed, including food parcels, hygiene packs, pre-loaded SIM cards, clothing and utility top-ups.

2. New Employer Engagement

Expanding our network of employers to generate a regular flow of job opportunities and enable more candidates to move into work.

This requires new business development and excellent relationship management. You will identify the roles most sought after by our candidates and focus on employers who demonstrate agility and responsiveness in their hiring processes. Contacts are likely to include business owners, divisional managers and site supervisors rather than social value or EDI teams.

You will:

• Proactively approach local employers advertising roles that match the skills and experience of current candidates, with the aim of securing interviews and recruitment instructions.
• Approach organisations that are not currently recruiting but are likely to offer suitable opportunities in the future.
• Maintain and develop a database of active and prospective employers.
• Take ownership of specific sectors or geographical areas in consultation with colleagues to maximise reach and avoid duplication.
• Visit employers to explain our services, answer questions about employing people with convictions and gain a thorough understanding of the workplace environment.
• Select and submit suitable candidates, advocating for each individual based on your knowledge of their strengths, achievements and progress.
• Positively challenge employer concerns where appropriate and advocate for fair consideration of candidates.
• Disclose offending history and risk profiles appropriately, highlighting personal attributes and workplace strengths while guiding employers through the recruitment process in partnership with the candidate.

3. In-Work Support

Supporting candidates to sustain employment for up to one year after starting work.

Maintaining employment is a key part of the journey. Newly employed candidates, particularly recent prison leavers, can face a range of practical, emotional and lifestyle challenges. The strongest chance of successfully supporting both candidate and employer comes from strong relationships built on trust, honesty and confidence.

You will:

• Advise employers on successfully onboarding new employees during their first weeks and months in work.
• Help employers understand and accommodate any additional support needs, such as housing transitions, medical appointments or probation requirements.
• Be aware of and proactively manage issues relating to media attention around previous convictions, including advising on measures to protect privacy and reputation where appropriate.
• Maintain regular contact with candidates during their first 12 months in employment through phone calls, meetings and ongoing mentoring support.
• Record all candidate and employer interactions, progress and outcomes on the Itris recruitment CRM database.

This is a non-exhaustive list of tasks and may be amended from time to time in line with the needs of the charity.

Our Interview Process

This vacancy will close on 6th September, with applications being shortlisted on 7th September.

If you are successful at the shortlisting stage, you will be invited to attend the first stage of our interview process on Wednesday 9th September, between 4:30pm and 7pm, at our new offices in Preston.
