Who We Are
Tameside Link is a registered charity with a straightforward purpose: to enable adults with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs to live meaningful, fulfilling lives in their own homes, with the right support around them.
Rooted in Tameside and Oldham since 1995, we were founded by families who knew that personalised, values-driven support could change lives. That belief still drives everything we do. We are person-centred, strengths-based, and proudly family-led. Our 80-strong team works every day to champion inclusion, independence, and dignity for the people we support.
This is an exciting moment for us. We are growing, investing in our infrastructure, and working towards doubling in size. The HR Manager role sits right at the heart of that next chapter.
The Opportunity
This is a chance to build something from the ground up.
As our first dedicated HR Manager, you will establish and shape our HR function, creating the processes, systems, and culture that will support our growth. You will be the go-to person for everything people-related: day-to-day ER casework, leading our digital HR transformation, onboarding new colleagues, and supporting the leadership team through change.
It is a hands-on, varied role. You will need to be comfortable rolling up your sleeves one moment and advising senior leaders the next. You will be given the space, trust, and support to make this role your own.
What You Will Do
Build and lead our HR function
Own the employee lifecycle
Drive our digital HR transformation
Support managers on performance and employee relations
Lead on organisational change
Champion our culture and workforce development

Kids Matter is one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s charities.
Our vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Our mission is to reduce the impact of poverty on children through community-based parenting programmes.

They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.
We value difference and diversity, and we want our workplace to be built on shared values of equality and mutual trust, with team members representing the wide range of backgrounds and experiences that exist within the UK. We therefore actively encourage applications from people of diverse backgrounds and varied experiences, particularly those who are African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or part of other minority ethnic communities, who have lived experience of the impact of low-income/low-support circumstances, and who are living with a disability or identify as being neurodivergent.

WHO WE ARE
We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night's sleep, and the chance to thrive at school.
In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 17,000 bed bundles to children to date!
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
As we grow, we are looking to recruit a Policy & Advocacy Manager to join the Communications team.
As our ideal candidate you will need to be in commuting distance to our Leeds warehouse, meaning you can travel regularly to meet with the team. This is a hybrid role based between the Leeds warehouse and home, and regular travel to other locations will be required to attend meetings, conferences and other such activities related to policy and advocacy. As such, you will need to have a full UK driving license and access to your own car.
You will be someone who has strong experience in the field of policy and advocacy, with a proven track-record of engaging and influencing a range of external audiences and political stakeholders, such as MPs and councillors.
Alongside your relevant skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.
Ideally, you’ll have experience in a charity/NGO or social policy sector, due to some of the specialities that come with this. However, charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date.
WHAT WE OFFER
Starting at £20,400 with progression up to £22,800 p/a (£34,000 - £38,000 FTE)
28 days, plus Bank Holidays (prorated for part-time work)

Cybersecurity and IT:
Serve as the primary internal point of contact for our external IT and managed security service provider, ensuring service levels are maintained and issues are resolved promptly.
Oversee day-to-day IT operations including device management, software licensing, onboarding/offboarding technology needs, and user support escalations.
Lead the implementation and ongoing management of the organisation's cybersecurity policies and controls, in line with relevant frameworks (e.g. Cyber Essentials).
Maintain and develop an asset register, acceptable use policies, access controls, and incident response procedures.
Proactively identify and mitigate IT and security risks as the organisation grows, including preparing for future infrastructure needs.
Coordinate internal roll out and learning around AI tools.
Compliance & Governance Support
Maintain and update internal policies in coordination with the Director of Operations, People Operations Manager and relevant leads.
Support the People Operations Manager with HR-adjacent compliance requirements where appropriate (e.g. right to work checks, DBS, data handling).
Support organisational compliance activities, including data protection (UK GDPR) and any sector-or donor-specific regulatory requirements.
Assist in preparing for and managing external audits, accreditations, and due diligence processes.
Office & Administrative Operations
Oversee the smooth day-to-day running of office operations, including facilities management, supplier relationships, and procurement.
Manage relationships with key operational suppliers and service providers, reviewing contracts and ensuring value for money.
Provide flexible administrative support to the Director of Operations and wider Operations Unit as needed, with a can-do approach to varied tasks.
Support the planning and logistics of internal events, offsites, and all-staff meetings.
Provide flexible operational support to the Risk Management Unit (0.5 days per week)
Organisational Development
Contribute to scaling the organisation's operational capabilities as headcount grows, including helping to onboard new staff, implement new tools, and embed operational best practice.
