Want to help reimagine youth work for a new generation? The Bridge Youth Project, in partnership with St Paul’s Church, is creating a brand-new role — Third Space Youth Lead — to develop meaningful, faith-rooted connections with young people outside the classroom. You’ll pioneer creative, relational, community-based youth engagement that brings Christian hope and presence into the everyday spaces young people inhabit.

Across Salisbury’s schools, something sacred is unfolding. Through the ministry of chaplaincy, young people are not only encountering the Christian story—they’re engaging with it. There is a growing openness, a hunger to go deeper, and in some, a readiness to own and articulate faith. Yet for many, those germinating seeds have nowhere to grow. There’s no natural community to nurture belief, no clear bridge between their experience in school and a life of ongoing discipleship. The result? What should be a comma, sadly becomes a full stop.

This role exists to change that.

The Third Space Youth Lead is a unique partnership between The Bridge Youth Project and St Paul’s Church, Salisbury, bringing together two missional contexts with one unified purpose: to help young people move from curiosity to commitment, and from early encounters with faith into meaningful, sustained discipleship.

Half of this role is embedded at St Paul’s, leading a vibrant and growing youth ministry for young people aged 11–18, offering regular gatherings, discipleship pathways, mentoring, and opportunities for leadership. The other half leads our new Third Space ministry, working in close collaboration with Bridge Chaplains to create invitational, community-rooted spaces beyond school and church walls, spaces where young people can belong, explore, and grow in their faith journey.

This is more than running a youth group. It’s about shaping a new paradigm, where school-based chaplaincy, church-based discipleship, and community-rooted mission meet. It’s about crafting a culture that reflects the full journey of faith: from fun and connection, to invitational exploration, to life-changing commitment to Jesus.

St Paul’s Church has committed to boldly investing in this shared vision with us, partnering with The Bridge to create something truly collaborative, sustainable, and pioneering. Together, we believe the conditions are already present for something powerful to emerge—we simply need the right person to step in and help bring it to life.

Could that person be you?

PSPA is the only UK charity providing support and information to people living with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). These rapidly progressing neurological conditions are caused by the premature loss of nerve cells in certain parts of the brain. While there is no cure, and no treatment, we aim to give everyone affected with PSP and CBD the information and support they need to live the best possible life.

Raising awareness among health and social care professionals since 1994, we also fund research into diagnosis and treatments, relying almost entirely on voluntary donations.

We are now looking for a Helpline Manager to join us on a part-time, permanent basis, working 21 hours per week.

What we offer

• Salary of £21,709 for 21 hours per week (FTE £36,182.66)
• 28 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays – pro-rated for part-time roles
• Pension scheme
• Employee Assistance Programme

This is a rewarding opportunity for a compassionate and strategic people leader with a helpline/call centre background to join our passionate and pioneering organisation.

You’ll be at the forefront of supporting those affected by two of the most misunderstood neurological conditions, helping to shape the support and information provided for people living with PSP or CBD across the UK.

What’s more, with part-time hours offering greater flexibility, you’ll enjoy a fulfilling work-life balance while leading a dedicated team whose work makes a real difference every single day.

So, if you’re ready to be part of a movement that is changing lives, apply today.

How your role contributes

• As our Helpline Manager, you will lead the delivery and development of a vital lifeline for people living with PSP and CBD.
• You’ll ensure that everyone reaching out for help is met with timely, compassionate, and expert support — putting their needs and voices at the very heart of our services.
• Managing a team of six Helpline Care Navigators and supporting volunteers, you’ll lead recruitment and training to ensure the helpline runs smoothly and sustainably, while nurturing a strong, person-centred team culture.
• Through data-driven insights, you’ll continuously evaluate and improve the service, championing accessibility, safeguarding and inclusion in all aspects of delivery.

Additionally, you will:

• Develop policies and procedures to ensure best practice in advice and support
• Represent helpline users in our magazine and editorial planning
• Collaborate with senior leadership to design new services that address unmet needs

What we need from you

To join us as our Helpline Manager, you will need:

• Experience of operational management in a helpline/call centre environment
• Experience managing a team and supporting their professional development
• Experience working with volunteers across different mediums, including online
• Experience of regular service data reporting, analysis and evaluation
• Knowledge of the issues for people living with a neurological condition and their carers
• Knowledge of safeguarding practices
• The ability to manage difficult situations in a calm and confident manner

The closing date for this role is 8 June 2025
Interviews will be held on 16 & 17 June 2025

Other organisations may call this role Helpline Team Lead, Support Services Manager, Care Navigation Services Lead, Support Line Manager, Information and Advice Services Manager, or Emotional Support Services Manager.

PSPA is an equal opportunities employer, values diversity and is strongly committed to providing equal employment opportunities for all employees and all applicants for employment. Equal opportunities are the only acceptable way to conduct business and we believe that the more inclusive our environments are, the better our work will be.

So, if you’re looking for a role where you can make a real difference as a Helpline Manager, please apply.

What they say about Medical Justice;

“What Medical Justice did was absolutely remarkable. They sent two specialists to see me in Harmondsworth and they did the most amazingly thorough job documenting all my scars. Then I got my medico-legal report which was over 40 pages long. They did thorough, professional work – there is nothing more that they could have done and ultimately this work got me out of detention.” – former detained person and Medical Justice client

“[Medical Justice] has strong characteristics and a highly respected reputation. It is regarded as principled, expert and evidence-based, tenacious in its casework and policy work, fierce and ferocious when needed and brave in the way it speaks truth to power.” – fellow non-governmental organisation

“Medical Justice has an outsized impact for its size – it is highly effective and the team is absolutely terrific, which is all the more impressive in the difficult political context.” – Medical Justice funder

At West London Synagogue (WLS), we have made a commitment to helping London’s most vulnerable residents regardless of faith and background. This is achieved through delivering direct services to those who need it most. We have identified asylum seekers and refugees as the core communities in which we can have an impact.

We run 2 drop-ins each month. Our Family drop-in welcomes families with children and of all faiths and ethnic origins who are seeking asylum in the UK. We rely on volunteers to help provide a hot meal, grocery vouchers, toiletries, companionship, and advice for families who have fled life-threatening violence or persecution in their countries of origin. 

As well, as our Family drop-in, we run the monthly 'Rainbow' Group.LGBTQI+ asylum seekers in the UK face the same challenges that most asylum seekers face in the UK. In addition, they face further challenges since their sexual orientation WLS opens its doors once a month to provide a safe space for LGBTQI+ asylum seekers to feel a warm community welcome, to build community together, and to receive vital support whilst living in poverty awaiting a decision on their asylum application. 

At WLS we have recognised the unjust and compounded hardships for asylum seekers who are members of the LGBTQI+ community. We aim to create an environment where asylum seekers of the LGBTQI+ community can feel safe, supported, and comfortable.

We are looking for a committed Project Leader who can drive progress, inspire a team of volunteers and make a positive impact to the lives of everyone who attends our Social Action projects.
