Welcome to Waythrough as a Service Manager.
Bakery Court and Chapel View are mental health, supported housing and community-based services, working to a recovery model.

We have been operating in the area for a number of years and offer a staffed service to our residents aged 18 and upwards.
We know that recovery can look and feel very different to each and every one of us.

Responsible for managing the day‐to‐day running of the service, you’ll ensure the quality of support we provide to people who use our services is second to none. Managing service contracts, line managing staff, carrying out inductions, undertaking investigations, putting team development plans in place and supporting business development colleagues – all are aspects of this challenging and rewarding role.
Substantial experience of managing a caseload of individuals with complex needs is a given, as is the ability to lead by example using a firm but inclusive management style. Some housing management experience would be useful too. Open and encouraging, you have lots of tact and diplomacy and are great at managing conflicting priorities. You also have a flexible approach to working hours and are happy to participate in on call arrangements.
In return for your skills and enthusiasm, this role comes with some really great benefits and excellent training and development opportunities.
You will be covering the areas of Ulverston and Kendal.

On 1st June 2024, Richmond Fellowship, part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we’ve all known has been needed for decades. In October 2024, Humankind was renamed Waythrough to reflect the new organisation.

We need a highly skilled, experienced and determined Campaign Manager to lead and grow a team of professionals and volunteers to win the support of the people of Cardiff. You will also work with the wider Wales Green Party to help build the Green vote across the nation.
The 2024 UK general election saw the Green Party make great strides forward, electing a group of 4 Green MPs to Westminster for the first time and becoming the clear choice for voters looking for a positive alternative to the tired old parties and their dispiriting offer of managed decline, and no real hope or real change.
The General Election showed increasingly widespread support for the Green Party in Wales, and especially Cardiff. With the coming change to the Senedd’s electoral system, it is essential that Greens take the opportunity to gain seats in the Welsh Parliament. You will lead the campaign and team that makes it happen.
You will have excellent strategic and tactical nous, and the ability to build strong relationships in a complex environment across national, constituency and local levels. And of course, you will know what it takes to persuade voters to support our lead candidate.
This is a full-time role (35 hours per week), mainly Cardiff based with some hybrid working from home. It is fixed term until the end of July 2026.

Our prior Program Manager has moved up to the role of Chief Programs Officer on our executive team. As such, we are looking for a deeply impact-motivated Program Manager to run our flagship Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program. In this role, you will train, advise, and pair exceptional potential founders through a twice-annual, two-month training program. This culminates in supporting the founders through a seed fundraising round and the launch of new charities delivering exceptionally cost-effective programs at scale across global development.
Our program has incubated more than 40 new charities over the past five years, with many receiving recognition from charity evaluators such as GiveWell and Animal Charity Evaluators as field-leading organisations.
IMPORTANT: This is a summarised version of the job advert for CharityJob's purposes. Clicking 'Apply' will take you to the complete and detailed version on our website, where you'll also be able to apply.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program is a twice-a-year intensive training program enabling cohorts of 8-16 exceptionally talented international entrepreneurs and nonprofit professionals to launch outstandingly cost-effective, evidence-based new nonprofits in the space of two months.
The program chiefly consists of a twice-annual sequence.
-
Preparing the upcoming cohort and running the initial book club where participants deep dive into our handbook and the recommended idea reports
-
The two-month program itself, which includes a 2+ week in-person section and consists of training and coaching participants to select co-founders and ideas
-
Post-program support to the new founders, providing ongoing guidance and facilitating connections with our networks of mentors and alumni.
-
Evaluation and improvement work for the program itself, and the post-program support and evaluation plus improvements period. In between, the team
The Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program team chiefly consists of ~two FTE preparing and running the program and interacting regularly with the recruitment team (for finding and selecting the ideal program candidates), the research team (for selecting and adapting the ideal charity ideas for the program participants), and the operations team (for supporting the incubated projects immediately upon launch through the program). This role reports to Samantha, our Chief Programs Officer, and works closely together with Steve, the second Program Manager who focuses mostly on participant training and coaching.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
The exact %s of these will depend on what will be most impactful and the interests and skill areas of the successful candidate, but will likely look something like this:
Direct Program Management - 40%
-
During the preparation phase:
-
Clearly and proactively managing timelines and communications with internal staff, external partners, and program participants
-
Improving systems such that running the program becomes more efficient and effective round over round
-
-
During the program phase for 8 weeks twice a year (February to March and August to September):
-
Facilitating training sessions - discussions, presentations, workshops - with participantsbased on best practices
-
Providing key feedback on participant project work on short timelines, including on materials such as cost-effectiveness analyses, geographic assessments, theories of change, budgets, pilot plans etc.
-
Mentoring participants directly in 1:1 calls and chats
-
Guiding participants through two intense in-person weeks in our London office, including in their co-founder and charity idea testing and decisions
-
-
Towards the end and immediately following the program:
-
Helping participants develop our raw researched top nonprofit ideas into organisations ready to implement a first pilot within mere months of graduating
-
Advising participants on key decisions regarding their charity and providing encouragement and support to get their project proposals across the finish line in time for the seed network funding circle to award seed grants
-
Connecting graduates with suitable mentors from our network and identifying, engaging, and onboarding new mentors
-
Alumni/Community Management & Development - 40%
-
Identifying, championing, and, where suitable, delegating post-program support initiatives that would improve charity outcomes (e.g., speed, likelihood, and size of impact)
-
Creating opportunities for connection, collaboration, and cross-learning of our growing alumni and extended community
-
Managing a growing extended community of mentors, advisors, and service providers that could support our charities at different stages of their development (e.g., seed, pilot, scale-up, external evaluation)
-
Managing shared digital knowledge and communication bases like our resource hub and 300+ member slack community
-
Evaluating opportunities and focusing on the most impactful ones
Program Improvement / M&E - 20%

-
Implementing or delegating improvements
-
-
Identifying priority gaps in program curriculum and structure based on M&E, proactive research, and later charity outcomes
-
Designing or adapting existing content, including applied projects, workshops, or written material, to support program goals
FUTURE GROWTH TRAJECTORIES
This is a senior role within AIM, but future growth and expertise development trajectories for excelling hires could look like:
-
Focusing on charity strategy development and advising: a hire with more experience and expertise in launching, piloting, and scaling could play a more active hand in revamping our content and mentoring charities on their strategies from the outset; i.e. advising closely on plans, giving more feedback on early project plans, mentoring directly post-program, etc.
-
Leaning into building out a thriving alumni ecosystem: optimising our post-program coordination, expanding our partnership work, spending more work on post-program content and community, coordinating our networks of alumni and mentors, creating digital/in-person events, and other strategies to help our charities and their staff reach & expand their potential
-
Becoming an expert in M&E: playing a heavier role in the impact assessment & optimisation of Charity Entrepreneurship as the key impact arm of AIM. This would involve more collaboration with our research and recruitment teams to improve our systems and feedback loops, and/or our M&E specialist working to create early internal evaluations of our charities and later external evaluations
-
(At some point) going through our Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program themselves as a participant, bringing all the built skills and expertise to bear in their own nonprofit

Our commitment to diversity
Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. If the environmental movement is to succeed in creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart of our programmes. We therefore encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply.
Guaranteed interview scheme
We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.
