Seashell is nationally recognised for its skilled workforce who are trained to educate and care for children and young adults who have the highest needs in the UK, and which include a complex range of visual, hearing and multi-sensory impairments, severe and complex autism, as well as physical disabilities.

Seashell’s exciting new vision launched in 2022 and reads: “Seashell aims to be exceptional in educating and caring for children and young adults with the most complex needs, with an amazing workforce supporting families from its world class campus, and to share its excellence on a national and international platform.”

The journey towards this vision has already begun and new, state of the art facilities are being built. Following the construction of a residential village in 2015 and a world class school and shared services building which opened in February 2023, we are embarking on the next phase of our site transformation - a new college and inclusive sports and wellbeing facilities which is set to be delivered in 2026. Following this we will continue with our campus transformation, with plans for several capital projects including a knowledge hub, forest school and tree house, sports pavilion, and a hydrotherapy centre.

If you would like to work for an inspirational, values driven Northwest charity and make a real difference to the lives of our very special students, please apply for this exciting role.

We are looking for a proactive and experienced Business Support Manager to support the delivery of our new five year Strategic Plan.

This exciting new role will act as the bridge between our Operations and Central Services. It's a unique opportunity to shape how these functions work together to achieve our organisational goals more effectively. As this is a newly created function as part of our Transformation Programme, launched in June 2024, this role offers a high degree of autonomy and the opportunity to shape how this role develops.

This role will lead the Business Support function, working closely with the Operations Director team to ensure the smooth running of this UK wide operations function. You will oversee the provision and ongoing development of support services to enable TCV Operations teams throughout the organisation to focus on the core elements of operational delivery and development.

From sourcing services to managing supplier relationships, your work will help us run more efficiently, ethically, and sustainably so that we can reach even more young lives with our support.

This is more than just procurement, this is purposeful procurement. You’ll lead major tenders, embed procurement best practice across The Trust, and guide strategic sourcing decisions that support equity, diversity, inclusion, and social value in our supply chain. You’ll oversee high-value contracts, and manage relationships with colleagues and suppliers alike. And with key projects in the pipeline, including ethical supplier initiatives and cross-functional procurement training, there’s plenty to get stuck into.

We're looking for someone who blends strategic thinking with day-to-day rigour. You'll need strong stakeholder management skills, experience with competitive tendering, and a good understanding of procurement governance—ideally within the charity or public sector. If you know your way around contract law, eTendering systems, and procurement data, even better. CIPS qualifications are a plus, but what matters most is your ability to make great decisions that align with our values and mission.
