ASSISTANT MANAGER (Weekend)

ROLE AND PERSON SPECIFICATION

Permanent, part time 14 hours

Remuneration - competitive

Background

The Vision Foundation has been supporting and speaking out on behalf of blind and partially sighted people across London for close to 100 years.

Formerly known as the Greater London Fund for the Blind, we support organisations that provide a necessary lifeline and essential resource for London’s visually impaired community. 

But people living with sight loss in the capital are facing significant and growing challenges, and ever worsening life chances. Meanwhile, a very high and growing number of people are needlessly going blind. We have identified that the Vision Foundation can play a critical and unique role in both saving sight and transforming lives by working in partnership with others to deliver projects which inform, empower, and include.

A new strategy, launched along with our new name in October 2019, gives us the opportunity to have more impact than ever before. We will work to improve the opportunities, wellbeing, and inclusion for blind and partially sighted people. We will do more to ensure London is open and welcoming to the visually impaired community across employment, and social and cultural spaces. We will strive to reduce loneliness and isolation. And we will ensure that blind and partially sighted people further marginalised through homelessness, poverty or domestic violence are reached. Above all, we will emphasise what people can do, rather than what they cannot.

But our work is more than just providing support. It’s also about amplifying voices to ensure that blind and partially sighted are heard. And it is about changing our society and the systems that structure it, by inspiring more people to advocate and take action.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Weekend Assistant Manager to share the running of our Hampton Hill outlet. You must be committed to creating an outstanding shopping experience for our supporters and have experience of driving sales plus increasing donations from your local area.

Recruiting and maintaining a team of volunteers is also a requirement, together with administering to the business needs of this outlet.

Vision Foundation operates a small number of shops selling donated goods as part of its income generation strategy, with an ambitious programme of more openings over the next 5 years.

An understanding of charity retail would be a distinct advantage.

The role demands a great blend of skills, along with the belief that every blind and partially sighted Londoner should be able to lead their life to the full. As an equal opportunities’ employer, the Vision Fund welcomes applicants from all backgrounds irrespective of race, religion, belief, gender, disability, age or sexual orientation.

We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

Job Brief

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager who will manage the Media Movers programme, Media Movers North and Media Movers South. This involves working closely with the Media Movers Project Coordinator and Project Lead, as well as with the participants within the programme; young people with migrant backgrounds and sector professionals, the media and funders.

About On Road Media

On Road Media is an award-winning charity that tackles social problems by improving media coverage of misrepresented groups and issues. We work towards long term narrative change by informing everything we do with research that tells us which stories are most effective to create positive social change for people.

We support people with first-hand experience of the issues to do safer, more strategic media work, whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes, bringing them together with the media on “interactions” to inspire fresh and nuanced content with a focus on popular culture.

Our projects include Talking About Poverty”, Angles: A Different Take on Sexual and Domestic Abuse”, All About Trans, and Media Movers which supports young people with migrant backgrounds. We have recently begun work in two new areas, Climate Stories That Work, and the palliative care of children.

Our work has leveraged over £6 million in positive programming on these issues in the UK through our media interactions; behind the scenes, facilitated sessions.

The kind of person we’re looking for loves working in a team towards the common goal of improving the world around us. You’re already passionate (or are keen to learn more) about inclusion, fairness and a representative media. You will be excited to learn about our methodology and about the prospect of playing a significant role in a small, award-winning charity. You will be up for a challenge and will enjoy the support of an experienced and friendly team.

We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their background or age. We are particularly keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; people with disabilities (visible and invisible, mental and physical); people who identify as being LGBTQIA; and people who identify as working-class or have done so in the past.
