We want to see a world where everyone can provide for themselves and their family, where society addresses everyone’s needs and where it does not cost more to be poor. It should provide fair opportunity for all so anyone willing and able can access employment. Our job is to enable people to improve their financial wellbeing. Everyone needs to be able to manage their money well, find work and access every facility to help them do so, including online services. Clean Slate, in partnership with Quids in!, is re-writing the rulebook on helping low income households to become better off. We are proudly different by:
- Telling claimants, tenants and low-income earners what’s really going on, what to be cautious about and what opportunities exist

Since lockdown, our teams in Bath, Glos and London have re-imagined service delivery as a remote, phone-based and online programme revolving around a money health-check and triage process, followed by help to follow up on recommended next steps. This has led to contracts with social landlords and the Dept of Work and Pensions, on top of core activities already underway.
We have further opportunities to expand in the West of England (Bath & North East Somerset, Bristol, South Glos and North Somerset), and require an Interim Regional Lead to help assess and realise the potential for growth here. This is initially a 6-month fixed-term contract but with the possibility of becoming permanent.
Working closely with the Managing Director, Partnerships Manager and the B&NES Service Coordinator, the Project Manager will:
- Establish a sustainable presence in Bristol, networking and developing partnerships in the West of England that increase our reach and impact, and create opportunities for new contracts, commissions and funded programmes
- Explore and identify opportunities to meet the needs of local authorities (including the West of England Combined Authority), social landlords and DWP
- Identify and pursue funding opportunities, including corporate support from the significant finance and blue-chip sector in Bristol/ surrounding area, to support a permanent Regional Lead position and an increased team of Support and Peer Workers. (Help generate sales and sponsorship leads for Quids in!)
- Oversee the Service Coordinator and their team working with a minimum 200 people per year74
- Ensure our core contract with VirginCare is secure (or replaced with another long-term contract from April 2022)
- Increase the number of referrals accessing our existing service and increase Support Worker capacity to meet growing demand
- Support the development and implementation of a ‘Peer Worker to Support Worker’ learning and development programme
- Work with the Leadership Team to develop processes that improve recording, reporting, impact measurement and continuous improvement
- Post-lockdown, re-establish community-based services including drop-ins and a schedule of 7 Signs (employability) and 3 Bs (money skills) workshops
- Establish impact performance benchmarks and work with the team to build on these
To succeed in this role, you will need to be a skilled communicator, whether face to face or in writing. You must have an organised and structured approach to your work and have the ability to plan and manage your time to deliver to deadline. You must be an experienced manager with an approachable and supportive style, able to inspire, motivate and lead a team. You will need a flair for building strategic partnerships, drawing on your influencing and negotiation skills. You must be committed to delivering a high-quality service to service users, evaluating the impact of the work of the regional team and taking remedial action if necessary. The ideal candidate would also demonstrate an understanding of discrimination, equality and diversity issues, including those not set out in law such as the poverty premium. Knowledge of benefits and the welfare system would also be helpful, as would experience of delivering training or support to people from disadvantaged communities and diverse cultures. Above all, you must be committed to Clean Slate’s vision and mission, empowering service users and promoting independence.
Although all Clean Slate staff are currently working from home, as soon as coronavirus restrictions allow you must be able to travel around the region to liaise with our partner agencies, to find and develop new partnerships and to visit staff at our Quids In centres. You will work 22.5 hours per week and we would welcome a discussion with you on how you would like to organise these hours.
