Community Training and Volunteer Administrator  
Salary: £25,112.50 per annum, pro rata
Location: Norwich Office
Hours: Part-time, 21 hours per week, ideally worked Monday to Friday between 9:30am and 2:30pm
Contract: Permanent

East Anglian Air Ambulance is a regional charity that provides life-saving care across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and beyond. With two state of the art helicopters and a fleet of rapid response vehicles taking our crew of critical care paramedics and doctors to the scene of the incident, to provide advanced pre-hospital emergency medical care (PHEM). 

We have an exciting opportunity for a Community Training and Volunteer Administrator to join our life-saving charity. 

About our Community Training Programme: 

Since 2018 East Anglian Air Ambulance has been delivering lifesaving Community CPR and Defibrillator training sessions to over 100,000+ children and adults, but we need to train more people to save more lives across East Anglia.  

Every year approximately 11,000 people suffer a cardiac arrest in the East of England. Around 70% of those who suffer a cardiac arrest receive any form of bystander CPR before the arrival of the ambulance service, however, less than 20% have a defibrillator deployed before emergency services arrive.   

The cardiac arrest survival rate in the UK is only around 9%, but if a defibrillator is used alongside effective CPR within the first 3-5 minutes, the chances of survival can increase between 40% - 70%. 

About the role: 

As Community Training and Volunteer Administrator, you will provide excellent administrative support to EAAA's Community Training and Volunteering Team, helping to coordinate our flagship Community CPR and Defibrillator Training programme for schools, community groups and organisations across East Anglia.

You will manage a busy training calendar and coordinate Community CPR Training bookings and enquiries, ensuring all participants and supporters receive the highest standards of customer service. You will also oversee the logistics of our training equipment, ensuring resources are available in the right place at the right time to support training delivery.

You will ensure all CPR and AED training sessions are accurately recorded on our volunteer management system and will support and guide new and existing CPR volunteers throughout their recruitment and onboarding journey.

To be successful in this role, you will have strong administrative and IT skills, experience of using CRM systems, and excellent communication skills. You will be confident engaging with a diverse range of people and committed to delivering an outstanding supporter experience.

This is a vital role in ensuring our training participants, volunteers and supporters have a positive experience with EAAA and our community training programmes. Ultimately, your work will contribute to improving outcomes for patients experiencing cardiac arrest across East Anglia and help save more lives. 

Closing date: Tuesday 21st July 2026 (9am)  
Interview date:  Tuesday 28th July 2026 (In person at Helimed House)

Interim Head of Data and Evidence
£60,250 to £65,500 per year
Fixed term 12 months, full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves
This is a brilliant opportunity to lead our Data and Evidence Team on an interim basis while the postholder is on parental leave. You’ll help us understand and use the evidence that shapes our work, from clinical and real-world data to screening, Black health equity and wider health improvement priorities.

Working closely with teams across the charity, you’ll turn complex evidence into clear insight that supports our strategy, communications and programme delivery. You’ll also guide research and analysis across the four UK nations, helping us stay focused on the biggest opportunities to improve outcomes for men and their families.

What we want from you
We’re looking for an experienced evidence and data leader who can quickly build confidence, relationships and momentum. You’ll bring a background in health epidemiology, data science or biomedical science, with strong experience of working with healthcare data and real-world evidence.

You’ll be confident analysing and interpreting complex information, and just as confident explaining what it means to different audiences. You’ll also be a supportive, inclusive people leader who brings curiosity, judgement and an equity lens to your work. 

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.

We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

ABOUT UPREACH

Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?

upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because, currently, a student from a disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2. 

We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment. 

To find out more about how we support our students, visit our website and read our Annual Report and Impact Report.

ROLE OVERVIEW

This is an exciting time to join upReach as we begin a new phase of our digital transformation. We are investing in the systems, tools and ways of working that will help us support more students, improve the experience of the upReach team, and deliver our mission more effectively.

We are looking for a thoughtful, organised and motivated Junior Digital Transformation Manager to join the Product Team and play an important role in turning this ambition into practical, lasting change.

Technology plays a central role in how we support students, collaborate with partners and operate as an organisation. Working with the Director of Product, colleagues in the Product Team and teams across upReach, you will help deliver our digital transformation strategy. 

You will coordinate projects from initial discovery and planning through to implementation, training and continuous improvement. You will work closely with internal users, technology suppliers and other stakeholders to ensure digital changes are practical, inclusive, well-managed and aligned with organisational needs.

This role offers the opportunity to contribute to significant organisation-wide projects at an early stage, helping to shape how upReach uses technology in the years ahead.

You do not need to have previously worked in a digital transformation role. You may have developed relevant experience through project coordination, operations, process improvement, technology implementation, product management or another role involving organisational change.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving how things work and helping people use technology confidently.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

You will support the delivery of upReach’s digital transformation strategy by helping teams adopt better tools, systems and ways of working, including the responsible use of AI.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating the rollout and adoption of new digital tools, systems and AI-enabled solutions.

• Supporting digital transformation projects from planning through to implementation and review.

• Working with teams across upReach to understand their workflows, challenges and technology needs.

• Identifying opportunities to use AI and automation to improve efficiency, quality and user experience.

• Gathering and summarising feedback from users during testing, rollout and post-launch.

• Creating clear guidance, process documentation and training materials.

• Supporting colleagues to use new tools and AI responsibly, confidently and consistently.

• Identifying opportunities to improve, simplify or connect systems and processes.

• Monitoring how well new tools are working and recommending improvements.

• Supporting relationships with external suppliers and technology partners.

You will take ownership of agreed areas of work, while receiving support from the Director of Product and other experienced colleagues.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

There is no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those who may not have followed a traditional route into technology, project management or digital transformation.

We’re particularly interested in:

• Curiosity about how organisations, systems and processes work.

• A genuine interest in using technology to improve services and create social impact.

• Thoughtful problem-solving and strong attention to detail.

• The ability to organise work, plan ahead and manage multiple tasks.

• Clear written and verbal communication across different audiences.

• The ability to listen to users, understand their needs and represent their perspectives.

• Confidence building constructive working relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders.

• The ability to take ownership of work while seeking support when appropriate.

• A practical and balanced approach to change, recognising that successful transformation depends on people and processes as well as technology.

You do not need previous experience as a Digital Transformation Manager. However, experience or familiarity with any of the following would be helpful:

• Implementing or rolling out a new digital tool or system.

• Supporting organisational change or encouraging people to adopt new ways of working.

• Project management or project coordination.

• Process mapping, service design or business analysis.

• Gathering user feedback or conducting user research.

• Testing digital systems or features.

• Working with software suppliers, developers or technical teams.

• Supporting procurement, supplier evaluation or contract management.

• Developing or delivering training and guidance.

• Agile, iterative or user-centred ways of working.

• Understanding data protection, information security, accessibility or responsible technology considerations.

COMPETENCIES

Within upReach, the Junior Digital Transformation Manager is an equivalent level to a Junior Manager in other teams. This level involves you demonstrating more leadership capabilities. This includes having ownership of your responsibility area, and demonstrating an ability to informally lead and have positive influence on the wider team. We will be looking for you to demonstrate that you can plan ahead, proactively anticipate upcoming projects or challenges, and problem solve more independently.

upReach have created a Behaviours and Competency Framework to ensure the team have full visibility on the key capabilities required for effective performance, how these connect to our organisational values, and the level required for each band within the organisation. 

Within the Product Team, we’ll support you to apply these behaviours and competencies to product management helping you to learn and develop your skills across four key areas:

• Delivery & Execution – coordinating and delivering digital change, and solving problems

• User Insight – understanding and representing the teams and people who use our systems

• Transformation Strategy – thinking ahead, prioritising, and connecting systems and processes

• Influencing People – working effectively with colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders to drive adoption

You’ll be encouraged to take ownership of your work, build your confidence, and grow into greater responsibility over time. You’ll also have opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues and contribute to meaningful projects.

While you may not have experience in product management, we would expect you to be demonstrating most competencies at level 3 with some at Level 2.

 At English+, our mission is to empower people for whom English is not a first language, to build strong community connections, integrate into local life, and access opportunities within the UK job market. We provide inclusive services to individuals of all faiths and none, without prejudice or discrimination.

Each year, we support several hundred students through our free, weekly English classes, welcoming learners from over 40 nationalities. Our work is made possible by a dedicated team of volunteers, whose commitment is essential to delivering our services. In partnership with local churches, we provide a safe and supportive environment to learn English and understand local culture, alongside a wide range of activities that build confidence, strengthen community connections, and promote health, well-being, and integration.

The ‘+’ represents the additional support we offer to help students successfully navigate life in the UK, much of which is delivered in collaboration with a strong network of other service providers across Norfolk. As a small, local charity, we are agile and responsive- able to quickly adapt our lessons, courses, and services to meet the evolving needs of those we serve.

As Finance and Operations Manager, you will play a central role in our organisation- contributing to strategic decision-making while enabling frontline staff to deliver high-quality services. You will help ensure English+ remains financially secure, maintains strong donor relationships, and continues to be a leading community-based ESOL provider in Norfolk.

This role has an occupational requirement for the post-holder to be an active Christian and to be prepared to lead staff and others in prayer times and work with churches.

What you will be working on:

• Working closely with the Charity Director and Trustees, you will develop and manage the charity’s financial strategy, including setting annual budgets and producing quarterly management accounts with clear spend-versus-budget reporting. You will liaise with external accountants to prepare year-end accounts and take responsibility for day-to-day financial operations, including payroll and maximising Gift Aid income.
• In partnership with the Charity Director, you will help secure the organisation’s financial sustainability by preparing funding bids, monitoring programme finances, and ensuring accurate financial reconciliation.
• You will also support the Charity Director and Trustees with staff recruitment, drafting contracts and job descriptions, and overseeing leave and timesheet processes.
• Working with the Charity Director and Support Manager, you will help ensure that policies and procedures are robust, up to date, and aligned with operational needs, contributing to policy development, updates, and risk assessments.
• In addition, you will manage and report on key data relating to students, volunteers, and donors, producing management information and contributing to both the Charity Commission Annual Report and the English+ annual report.
• As part of a collaborative team, you will also help plan and deliver events such as the Summer Programme and seasonal activities. Given the nature of a small organisation, there may occasionally be opportunities to support wider activities, including assisting with classes where needed.

This role is for you if you have:

• Excellent financial, administrative, and organisational skills, and are a self-motivated, highly organised team player who can manage your workload independently with minimal supervision.
• The ability to be flexible and adaptable, maintaining a caring yet professional approach, thinking creatively under pressure, and responding calmly to unexpected changes.
• Strong IT skills and a clear, concise writing style, with the ability to produce high-quality funding applications, reports, policies, and staff documentation.
• Strong interpersonal skills, a genuine commitment to equality, and the ability to engage empathetically with people from diverse backgrounds.
• A positive, proactive attitude, a creative mindset, and strong problem-solving abilities, with enthusiasm for working collaboratively in a small, fast-paced, and evolving charity.
