We are seeking a Community Development Officer to lead a major in-progress project improving recognition, support, and care for people with smell and taste disorders at a local level across England. 

This three-year, volunteer-led programme, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund has achieved significant success in its first eighteen months. We are now recruiting a new postholder to take this strong foundation forward through the next phase of delivery. 

Over the past eighteen months, we have recruited and established a thriving network of volunteers and local groups across England. This momentum is expected to continue.

We are looking for a motivated, forward-thinking individual with experience in leading and inspiring others. You will bring energy, creativity, and excellent communication skills to drive the project forward and help build an innovative, sustainable programme of volunteer-led activity, supporting our volunteers to influence change within their communities.

You will join a small, friendly and ambitious team committed to your professional development as the charity continues to grow. 

If you are passionate about making a difference, enjoy working with people, and want to contribute to a pioneering and collaborative organisation that values and empowers its community, we would love to hear from you.

• Deputise for other members of the Platform team and take on other general responsibilities as required.

Knowledge, skills, and experience

• The ideal candidate would have strong professional experience leading the continuous improvement of event-driven architectures using Serverless technologies such as Google Cloud Run, AWS Lambda or Azure Serverless.

• Considerable experience in designing and implementing monitoring, observability and reporting solutions for complex cloud infrastructures within a major cloud provider (GCP, AWS, Azure). In production we’re using Datadog as our main monitoring platform.

• Confident in understanding and maintaining web application code and able to design and build small apps, preferably using JavaScript/TypeScript.

• Experience working with Cloud computing platforms and a familiarity with Infrastructure as Code tools. We’ve chosen Terraform as our Infrastructure as Code tool.

We are an equal opportunities employer.

We are committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity and are determined to ensure that no applicant or employee receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of gender, age, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, marital status, or race, or is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be shown to be justifiable.

The role: This is a rewarding role where every day brings the opportunity to make a positive difference to people's lives. We regularly receive testimonials from service users describing the life-changing impact of receiving support from our caseworkers in the National Road Victim Service.

Working location: mostly remote work with some travel required. Based in Surrey or Hampshire you will deliver a face-to-face service to clients in their own home or safe meeting place across the Surrey and Hampshire area as well as providing support by Teams, phone, email or other means to suit the service user. We take a person-centred approach so the amount of travel will vary depending on your caseload at the time. You’re in control of your own diary. 

Why this role is important: Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads. For families affected, the emotional and practical challenges are immense. As a Caseworker, you will provide trauma-informed care to individuals and families suffering from the sudden bereavement or life-altering injury of a loved one. Working mostly remotely, with some home visits to service users, you’ll offer vital emotional and practical support—including helping them access therapeutic resources, financial assistance, and guidance through the complexities of medical and legal processes. 

About Brake: Brake is a renowned and respected road safety charity with a 30-year history dedicated to supporting people affected by road crashes and advocating for safer streets. 

You'll join a closely knit team of fellow caseworkers, each using their individual experience and skills to provide person-centred support to victims. This provides a ready-made peer group who share best practice and knowledge and support each other so, in turn, they can best support road victims. There's no sugar coating it, this isn't an easy role, it requires a special type of person with strong resilience, but the reward is a strong sense of purpose, every day. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so we have strong support systems in place to support our caseworker's wellbeing, including clinical supervision. 

What we offer:

· A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day end of year shutdown) 

· Birthday day off 

· Flexible working (choose a working pattern to suit you between the hours of 8am-6pm Mon-Fri) 

· Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave 

· Death in service benefit 

· Pension 

· Employee Assistance Programme 

· Clinical supervision and excellent support 

· A rewarding role with purpose 

· Be part of a skilled, friendly team with an engaged Board of Trustees 

· Opportunity to attend prestigious events such as the Brake annual reception and awards (if you want to) 

Who we're looking for 

Full training will be provided under the guidance of our dedicated Training Officer. Our induction program has been developed to equip caseworkers with the skills they need to provide high quality support to road victims and covers topics such as being trauma-informed, safeguarding and risk management. We're open to candidates from all sorts of backgrounds, as long as you're a compassionate, self-starter with a background in providing high-quality emotional support and advocacy. Your experience in roles within the NHS, any health and social care, road safety, counselling, lived experience or any type of casework could make you an ideal candidate. 

Essential Requirements: 

• A full, clean UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (travel expenses are reimbursed) 

• Resident in the Surrey or Hapshire area. 

• Experience delivering frontline support, preferably involving sudden bereavement or heightened vulnerabilities. 

· Strong advocacy and research skills to liaise with multiple organisations on behalf of service users. 

• Competency in I.T skills to work remotely. 

Desirable Experience: 

Comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system and coronial process

· Lead on the statutory reporting and oversee budget setting and management accounts.

Why Join Us?

Joining St John’s means becoming part of a long-standing Bath charity that puts people at the heart of everything it does. Your work will directly support older adults and people in financial need, and you’ll be part of a friendly, collaborative team that cares about doing things well and doing them with trust, courage and kindness.

We are looking for a Support Worker to be part of our small community farm team. This is a rewarding role working with both children and adults with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and/or social and emotional difficulties. 

Working with small groups or on a one to one basis, you will support our clients to develop and grow via a variety of practical tasks that utilise our farm's resouces. This could be looking after our animals, growing veg in our indoor and outdoor growing spaces, learning about nature in the woods, doing arts and crafts or helping with other jobs around the farm. 

We are particularly interested in hearing from people that have carpentry, woodwork, DIY or other practical skills.

The Soil Association is the UK’s leading charity working with people and nature to transform the way we eat, farm and care for the natural world.

With a turnover of £25 million, around 380 staff and a structure that includes two trading subsidiaries and a sister charity, we are a dynamic organisation with national reach and international influence. Together, we are a force for nature.

We’re now looking for a Group Finance & Resources Director to help us deliver even greater impact. This is a pivotal role at the heart of our group. Reporting to our Group Chief Executive as a core member of our Leadership Team, you’ll lead our finance, HR, IT, digital transformation, governance and facilities functions, ensuring they are future-focused and aligned with our mission. More than that, you’ll play a key role in investment planning, opportunity appraisal, and performance reporting, helping us make the right decisions across a diverse and entrepreneurial portfolio of work.

Key responsibilities include:

• Providing strategic financial leadership and investment advice to the Group CEO and Board, ensuring decisions are informed by both financial and impact considerations.
• Leading and developing high-performing teams across finance, HR, IT, digital transformation, governance and facilities.
• Overseeing integrated annual and multi-year planning, budgeting and financial scenario modelling across the group.
• Supporting and challenging senior leaders across the Soil Association group to drive performance and deliver coherent, sustainable plans.
• Ensuring robust governance, legal compliance, risk management and the effective delivery of shared services across the group.

We’re looking for someone who brings strategic financial leadership, a collaborative and people-centred approach, and the ability to navigate complexity with clarity and calm. You’ll be a qualified accountant with experience at executive level, ideally in a group structure or multi-entity environment. You’ll understand organisational governance, be confident in investment appraisal and risk management, and bring a track record of leading high-performing teams through change.

This is not a role for someone who wants to be in the back office. We want you to be at the heart of our decisions, motivated by our values and excited by the opportunity to play a lead role in enabling us to shape a better future for people and planet.
