Job title: Animal Welfare Senior Operations Manager
Salary: Up to £49,541.39 plus excellent benefits
Location: Homebased
Job type: Fixed term contract
Contract length: End of Q3 2021
Hours per week: 35
Closing date: 27 January 2021
Virtual Interview date: w/c 08 February 2021

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity with a nationwide network of adoption and homing centres, volunteer-run branches and charity shops. During 2019 we helped around 191,000 cats and kittens, an average of 520 per day.

Like all organisations, at Cats Protection we have had to change the way we operate to ensure that we continue to be there for cats throughout the COVID pandemic whilst keeping our people safe.

We are now looking to recruit three senior operations managers on a fixed term basis, to help consolidate this new way of working whilst we assess our longer term needs and future strategy. These senior roles will bring greater resilience and agility to our team, whilst also creating the capacity for continuous improvement and innovation in our operations.

These field operations roles will be home based and take on day to day responsibility for the safe and effective operation and governance of our network of 35 centres and nearly 200 volunteer led branches across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Traditionally the scope of our field based team has been defined by geography, but with travel currently restricted that is not a consideration at this time. Wherever you are located, you will lead a team of managers remotely based across all corners of the United Kingdom, ensuring they effectively manage their teams enabling us to have the greatest positive impact for cats.

With a focus on collaboration, underpinned by excellent interpersonal skills, developed within large (ideally national scale) organisations, you will have a track record of effectively leading large complex teams of both employees and volunteers remotely. You will be comfortable and confident in leading innovation in a rapidly changing environment, based on your sound understanding of the current challenges of the UK animal welfare sector.

In addition to your day to day management responsibilities there will be the opportunity to lead a cross directorate specialism with a more strategic focus. Specialisms will be allocated post recruitment and include, a focus on our operational approach in the devolved nations of the UK, cat welfare, and operational change and innovation.

To apply for this position please click the APPLY ONLINE button. Our application process requires you submit a CV and answer screening questions – including explaining your interest and suitability for the role. Unfortunately we cannot accept applications or CVs that are emailed to us directly.

We require an experienced bid writer to work with the board of trustees to secure funding to support our ongoing workstreams and new programmes. This is a new post, the first of this kind for Together Now and will involve establishing and developing new funding streams for the charity.

You will be required to research potential funders, identify suitable opportunities, take the lead on developing and submitting funding proposals and build relationships with current and potential funders.

This post will report directly to the board and be supervised by one of the trustees. Together Now work entirely remotely and the post holder will be expected to work from home independently and with little supervision.

We believe the role will suit someone who would like the opportunity to work very flexibly and be able to play an active role in shaping the direction of their work.

We are looking for an innovative and highly organised Project Coordinator to work on a collaborative project with disabled adults in Surrey and NE Hants. 

The Project Coordinator will lead a project to rapidly co-design and co-produce a new register for Disabled People which will come with a range of benefits for members and increased access to user-designed resources.  The overall purpose of the role is to respond to the emerging needs of the Disabled community through the pandemic.

The key areas of work for the Project Coordinator are:

2) To research, plan a launch a microsite, platform, or database for the new register, working closely with both organisations to ensure maximum interoperability. 

3) To work with wider system partners to explore the opportunities to link membership of the new register to other benefits or services that could support members.

4) To work with the private sector to negotiate concessions for members of the register. 

5) To work with members of both organisations to generate user led content including blogs, vlogs, webinars and more, according to the emerging needs of the membership. 

6) To develop and promote the communication resources for the new register and create a robust marketing plan around the new register for the medium-term future.

Surrey Coalition and SILC have been awarded funding from the National Emergencies Trust to run a joint project to respond to the emerging needs of Disabled people in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.  The project will run until the end of June 2021. 

Are you passionate about increasing movement for all?  This is a brilliant opportunity to come and join the innovative team at Surrey Coalition of Disabled People to work with our members to enable more disabled adults to move more.

The overarching purpose of this role is to ensure that people who are disabled or living with a long term health condition have the information they need to participate in the physical activity that best suits their needs. 

The role has three key components: providing navigator assistance to disabled adults on an individual and group basis, establishing a physical activity resource library which includes blogs, vlogs, podcasts and ‘insiders guides’, and to create a train the trainer module around virtual physical activity opportunities and how to access them.

Digital exclusion is recognised as a health inequality in its own right, and disabled people are disproportionately affected by it.  Surrey Coalition of Disabled People has been awarded funding from the Community Foundation for Surrey (CFS) Coronavirus response fund. 

Digital exclusion contributes to loneliness, social isolation and health inequality.  People who are disabled, living with a long term health condition, living in deprived areas, people with a caring responsibility and people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups are at higher risk of experiencing both loneliness and digital exlcusion.

Health, social care and voluntary sector partners in Surrey Downs and East Surrey are determined to reduce loneliness in our community, and are using digital inclusion to help to achieve this.  The Tech to Community Connect service provides access to devices, a 'match' with one of our brilliant volunteer Tech Angels, access to virtual social and activity groups, and opportunities to become a virtual volunteer.The service has been piloted over the last 9 months and has had a real impact.
