Journey Enterprises is a local charity, which was founded by parents of young people with learning disability and complex needs 40 years ago

Our Hub Managers sit in the Middle Management Team (MMT) and are responsible for management of their Hub  premises, services and Staff.

As key managers in the Organisation, a Hub Manager manages a team of 8 -12 Staff consisting of employees, volunteers and practice-based student placements. Staff roles encompass: Company-wide Specialists, Senior Life Skills Coaches, Life Skills Coaches, Drivers, Activities Specialists. We also host occasional student placements, typically from health & social care, psychology & education disciplines and creative arts.

Hub Managers work with the Operations Manager to design and deliver programmes to develop Clients’ life and employability skills. Our Hubs accommodate up to 45 people daily who have intellectual disability and complex needs and we deliver a varied programme of activities weekly both on and off site. Clients choose their activities to meet the needs set out in their Care & Support Plans or Education and Healthcare Plans. All are designed in a Person-Centred Approach and Positive Behaviour Support approach enabling us to create bespoke programmes for each person.

Journey’s Clients are funded by Local Authority Adult Social Care or the NHS and have an assigned Care Manager responsible for approving the individual activities programme. Some families may also self-fund additional days in service.

Unpaid Carers (families) are involved in Care & Support planning and encouraged to attend Person-Centred review meetings, and other events, at Journey. We recognise and value the knowledge, expertise and role of unpaid carers and consult with Carers regularly as expert partners.

Hub Managers work collaboratively to develop enterprise and community fundraising initiatives, each providing opportunities for Clients to further develop their skills and service to the community, and for Hub Managers to build partnerships in their local area.  These partnerships enable us to build resources, funding for services and opportunities for Client work experience. They also act as critical referral pathways for new potential Clients and volunteers.

Hub Managers are given an opportunity to take on whole-Company part-time responsibilities for which they are paid at SP9 (pre specialist qualification) or SP10 when qualified.

Hub Managers are the public face of their Hub and our liaison with Adult Social Care.  They maintain regular contact with Care Managers and are encouraged to attend networking and provider forums externally whenever possible. 

We have been operating out of our Lewisham Hub for over a year now and while it's good, it isn't perfect. We want someone who will roll up their sleeves, get stuck in and proactively build on what we've achieved and help improve our operations.

We regift pre-loved baby equipment, clothes and toys onto other families.

To allow us to do that, we need a steady flow of good quality donations, which need to be checked, sorted and organised within our Lewisham hub, ready for delivery to families. Lewisham is our main hub and donations flow from here to our equipment warehouse in Eltham and other local storage facilities..

These donations are used to create bespoke bundles for families. This needs to be co-ordinated and their dispatch organised – most are collected and delivered by the referring agency however a good number require delivery.

Cycling Projects trading as Wheels for All is a National Inclusive Cycling Charity, working to make cycling accessible to every person on their own terms. Through our growing number of inclusive cycling hubs across England and Wales, Pedal Away and Bike Buddy initiatives, we have enabled many people to enjoy the benefits of cycling so far and are on a journey to upscale our delivery to reach many more.

We couldn’t do what we do without our volunteers. Volunteers are the lifeblood of our charity. With a variety of roles offered, we attract a diverse range of enthusiastic individuals who help us deliver our services in their local area.

You will ensure we are delivering a high-quality, consistent, and enjoyable service whilst maintaining a rewarding and fulfilling relationship with those who join our volunteer journey in an engaging, effective, and efficient way.

We believe that an inclusive workplace, where people of different backgrounds work together, ensures better outcomes for all employees and the organisation as a whole. We therefore strongly encourage suitably experienced people from a wide range of backgrounds to apply.
 

Key skills needed for this exciting role: You will be a strong communicator with excellent and adaptable interpersonal skills in person, virtually, and in typed context. You will have significant experience of volunteer management (ideally on a large scale) and leading successful recruitment drives and delivery of high-quality volunteer support, training and management.

A key element of this role will include working with the team to capture & monitor the impact of our volunteer services.  You will work with our HQ and Regional Staff to deliver the volunteer strategy for 2022/23 which encompasses coordination and support of existing volunteers, recruitment and succession planning, and be involved in the delivery of improved two way communications from HQ and within the regions.

You should be competent on all Microsoft software, with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail when processing data ensuring compliance with the GDPR at all times.

Experience of managing databases, writing e-newsletters, managing mailing lists, coordinating, and facilitating online meetings (with help from our team) is desirable. Training will be provided for the right candidate. In return we offer a competitive salary with 24 days annual leave (plus bank holidays) and pension.

You don’t need to be a cyclist to apply for this role, but you do need to share our passion to deliver our services and enjoy making a difference to people’s lives.

Closing date for applications: 25th August with interviews being held week commencing 29th August 2022.

Are you passionate about green initiatives and community development? 

We have a fantastic opportunity to manage an exciting new project. As the Green Community Hubs Manager, you will lead on the development and creation of a network of green community hubs across the North of England.

A green community hub is a physical space that a local community has the responsibility for managing. They bring other services together and offer a broad range of activities that build resilience and reduce health inequalities in communities.
Examples include community gardens, food growing projects, woodlands or parks.

You will lead a team of six staff members, including five Community Hub Facilitators supporting projects on a local basis and a Marketing and Communications Officer providing support across the region. Your role will be to develop green community hubs across the region and lead on the development and coordination of a centralised training programme, available for each locality to support them in establishing and developing their projects.

Background

The Green Community Hubs Manager will lead a team of six staff members on the creation of a network of green community hubs across the North of England.

Green community hubs are natural spaces that act as a base for community activities. They might be community gardens, parks, nature reserves, or a small pocket of land on a housing estate. Green community hubs form part of the social infrastructure of a neighbourhood – the places and spaces that enable social connections to flourish. Activities delivered at green community hubs will vary based on the assets within each community but could include volunteer development, education programmes, physical activity programmes or biodiversity and conservation projects.

In addition to this, the role will lead on developing a support and resource programme available to a further 30+ organisations yet to be identified. The aim of this is to provide external organisations with the knowledge of how to set up and run their own green community hubs. This will be delivered through a centralised training programme, available for each locality.

The successful candidate will have a passion for green initiatives and community development. They will be experienced in sharing good practice and facilitating co-production. The role will include identifying potential funding streams and sources of income to support the long-term sustainability of new green community hubs.

The Green Community Hubs Manager will lead a team of six Groundwork staff members including five Community Hub Facilitators supporting projects on a local basis and a Marketing and Communications Officer providing support across the region.
