Assistant Manager for court-based volunteer service - maternity cover (28 hours per week)

Are you motivated to help others? Do you enjoy problem-solving? Can you keep calm under pressure?

Support Through Court is an independent charity which provides much-needed practical and emotional support to people dealing with the court process without the benefit of legal representation. Most are frightened of, and unfamiliar with, the courts and may be facing serious issues that could affect their children and relationships, or their finances, or the roof over their head. 
 
This highly-regarded, energetic and friendly charity, is now seeking an Assistant Manager to help run our service in Central Family Court (CFC) and the remotely run services in Barnet County Court and West London Family Court.

Working with the Service Manager in CFC, you will lead on the administrative systems and tasks, and help with recruiting, training and supporting volunteers, facilitating day-to-day operations, contributing to ambitious fundraising targets and helping with absence cover at other sites.

You will be an excellent communicator, practical, well organised and hardworking, preferably with experience in the voluntary sector and some knowledge of legal procedures. You'll be ready to support other Support Through Court services on occasion, as well as taking responsibility for day-to-day operations where you're based.

Applicants should apply with a CV and a covering letter that address each point in the person specification and explains persuasively why we should offer you the post. It is important that your letter provides evidence of the criteria detailed in the person specification.

We are offering this post at 0.8FTE 28 hours/week for the period of maternity cover. The working pattern will be determined with the person appointed.

Closing date: 2nd September 2020 at 11:59pm. 

Interviews to be held on 8th or 9th September.

Start Network is made up of more than 50 aid agencies across five continents, ranging from large international organisations to national NGOs. Together, our aim is to transform humanitarian action through innovation, fast funding, early action, and localisation.

We aim to shift from a centralised network model to a dispersed ‘network of networks’. In this vision, regional or country-based hubs made up of local and national organisations as well as international NGOs will lead responses and drive innovations that will foster a better humanitarian system.

As the Senior Network Development Adviser you will play a crucial role in delivering the transformation of the Start Network. You will advise on the incubation of and engagement with the five pilot hubs and with potential future hubs globally.

The focus will be on brokering partnerships and supporting hubs to work together to co-develop them, both within hub leadership teams and as a collective of hubs. At the same time, you will provide a linking function for hubs to engage with the wider Start Network team, and the team to develop programming in collaboration with hubs.

We are looking for someone who can foster relationships and create engagement strategies to enable hubs to sustainably form, and the network as a whole to move closer to the network’s vision.
