East Church Norwich

Their vision is to play their part in sharing and reaching the East of England with the good news of Jesus. They are a large and growing church, one church, yet formed of multiple parishes across the city of Norwich. They are a family, journeying through life together, seeking to love God, to love each other, and to love those around us, as we gather and scatter. They gather on Sundays, as groups, communities, teams, and as family to worship, pray, and to open God's word, and to be filled over and over again with the Holy Spirit. They gather to connect with one another, to have fun, and to encourage each other along the way. They then scatter, to play their part in the mission that God calls us to, empowered by his Spirit to live everyday, supernatural lives for him.
 

Spear is at the very forefront of their mission to bring life through Jesus to all. They believe that every person, whether young or old, has a unique call on their life, and they want to see each person find the purpose for which they have been created. Find out more on their website.

Prayer and worship are embedded into daily working practices, so there is an Occupational Requirement for applicants to be practicing Christians.

You will be understanding and passionate about the needs of women, have knowledge of the practical, emotional, social and economic issues facing them, have experience of and a desire to work in trauma responsive settings, and evidence experience of developing and shaping innovative services.

See a virtual tour of the brand new service here

This role will be the CQC Registered Manager for a women’s-only residential service specialising in providing safe therapeutic environments for those who have experienced multiple disadvantage and those who have experienced past trauma. Therefore there is an Operational Requirement for this role to be fulfilled by a female (determined compliant under ACAS guidelines for recruiting applicants with a protected characteristic to do a certain job).[1]

The role

This role is an operational manager post that requires securing registration with the Care Quality Commission as an individual, and the continued management of a service also registered with the CQC.  

You will report to one of five Heads of Operations across the UK who report to the Director of Operations, and you will provide leadership and management to deputy managers (who in turn will manage the staff teams) and a nurse. This role is the figurehead of the service on-site, and balances the ongoing service provision with regulatory compliance and stakeholder engagement.

Phase one is now complete, the building has been completely refurbished to a high specification and has since opened in Autumn 2023.

Following the launch, this role will be the CQC Registered Manager for this service, with overall responsibility for it, including the programme provided, the staffing, the environment and the care and safety provided to residents.

The organisation

Phoenix Futures has been providing rehabilitation services for over 50 years. In support of the current Drug Strategy in England (From Harm to Hope) and the investment in residential services in Scotland, Phoenix are committed to rebuilding capacity across both countries in the residential rehab sector. In 2022/23 we launched two new residential services (Oakwood Lodge, an Enhanced Therapeutic Community in Derby, and Harper House, a National Specialist Family Service in North Ayrshire), and continue to identify further opportunities to increase provision.

The Ley Community began delivering a Therapeutic Community from its site in Yarnton in 1971 and established a well-regarded service up to its temporary closure in 2019. Joining the Phoenix Group has secured the additional investment needed to redevelop, and join the largest portfolio of residential services in the country. Responding to feedback from across referrers and those who use our services, the new service on this site will provide for women in need of a female-only space to safely and comfortably engage in treatment in a residential setting. Phoenix has a history of providing specialist services, including the CQC-rated Outstanding Grace House, a female-only rehab previously located in Camden. We take the history of both organisations forward into this development and will open later this year with great expectation. You will be key to achieving this, and the ongoing successes of this service.

Unifrog’s mission

We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.

Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.

We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with over half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer (check out this video to hear more about the Unifrog platform).

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
