We're looking for someone who understands why it's important to demonstrate that Disabled people can take a leadership role in their communities, who also has a deep understanding of voluntary sector groups. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who would enjoy supporting small voluntary groups to reach their goals, and representing their views and needs to partners.
Inclusion Barnet is Barnet’s Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation (DDPO), led by a board and senior management team of disabled people, and we’re passionate about using our lived experience of disability to work towards inclusive communities and greater social justice for all. This role works with groups from across all Barnet’s diverse communities, and all work needs to be undertaken through an equality and access lens. Therefore, we’re looking for someone with a demonstrable commitment to the social model of disability and disability equality, with their own lived experience of disability, and an ambition to contribute to a fairer society for all. We also particularly welcome applications from global majority candidates, who are currently underrepresented in our organisation.
The successful candidate will lead on delivery of our voluntary sector support activity, working as part of our award-winning Barnet Together partnership with Young Barnet Foundation and Groundwork London. You will ensure we continue a strong delivery of our offer and that we increase membership and engagement, and act as Inclusion Barnet’s Operational Lead within the partnership. You’ll undertake some delivery yourself, supporting groups with funding applications and more complex governance queries. You’ll also convene Barnet’s Environmental Network, and attend some key local meetings to provide representation of the sector’s views.
To succeed, you will either have previous experience of supporting community groups in a sector support role, or solid experience of third sector management, governance and fundraising. You’ll be excited by the challenge of delivering this unique service and keen to build on the success of Barnet Together to date.
You’ll be a great relationship builder with tact and emotional intelligence, and a champion for the contribution of the sector. In return, you will become part of a friendly and supportive team, working within a focused but flexible culture, where diversity is valued and you can bring your whole self to work.
This is a UK based role, and whilst much of it can be done from home we anticipate a need to be in Barnet twice a week on average. We encourage flexible working to suit your work/life balance preferences where possible. We also operate a Time Off In Lieu (TOIL) system.
To apply, please submit your CV with a brief covering letter clearly stating how you meet the person specification, and outlining how you would use your lived experience of disability to deliver the role successfully.

Welcome to Retail with a difference
What if every sale you made, every display you created, every customer you enticed in, made a difference to someone’s life? And to your local community? Here at a Princess Alice shop, it does.
We are a quality retailer with care at our core. Every sale you make, makes a world of difference to the patients we support – and their families and friends. We are on over 40 high streets, turning takings directly into outstanding care.
As an Area Manager, you are our Ambassador on the high street, and we never forget that. We are big enough to support you with professional distribution, campaigns and training, yet small enough for you to see the real impact your work has. Every day, our Customers know us, value the quality of our offer and are proud of turning their purchases into priceless care.
About the role:
You will lead and support shop teams made up of paid and voluntary staff across your designated area. You will take full accountability for the profit of a mixed portfolio of shops; this accountability extends to all income streams and controllable shop expenses. You will also be instrumental in developing and delivering, through your teams, high levels of supporter experience through well-presented shops and excellent supporter service. You’ll work closely with other Hospice colleagues in the day to day running of the business and contribute to all future development.
This is a full time, field-based role. You will have an office base but the majority of the working week will be spent in shops so you will travel daily between your shops.
You’ll need to hold a current driving license (maximum 6 penalty points). The role also includes working ad hoc weekends, as needs of the business require.
About You:
This position will suit an experienced Area Manager with a background in charity; however, we welcome applications form professionals with a solid background and transferable skills from the retail industry.
With proven people management experience, you will be confident, friendly, and possess excellent communication skills coupled with a high degree of competence in IT skills.
You will be self-motivated, able to handle conflict, problem solve and develop working relationships at all levels. Additionally, you will be extremely well organised, flexible and able to manage several tasks simultaneously.
As well as our competitive salary package and the opportunity to join an organisation which places patients at the heart of what we do, we also offer a range of great benefits, which include:
- 27 days’ annual leave, plus recognised public holidays – rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service
- Training support and development opportunities
- Employee Assistance Programme – promoting staff wellbeing
- Access to blue light card discount
- Access to Pension Scheme
If you are a dynamic and organised person and you feel you have the skills and experience for the role, we would love to hear from you!
Discover a career where retail means more. The difference is You.

About you
Essential
-
You are emotionally intelligent and have a natural communication style that is easily adapted to suit the situation.
-

-
You have organisational skills and a keen attention to detail.
-
You are highly digitally literate – you can find your way around a website, CRM or a shared spreadsheet and are quick to learn new unfamiliar software.

-
You will understand the joy of beautiful post! You’ll package and send thoughtful, happy packages that put a smile on people's faces when they are having a tough time.

-
Diverse teams are stronger teams. We particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups including but not limited to minority ethnic groups, disadvantaged backgrounds, people living with a health condition, or those who have taken a career break.
This is a physical role which will involve lots of carrying packages to the post office, and unfortunately the office is not wheelchair accessible. If you would like a chat about whether you would be able to perform this role, you are very welcome to give Hannah a call to discuss specifics.
About us
Aplastic anaemia is a rare and life-threatening condition caused by the bone marrow not functioning properly.
In people with aplastic anaemia, the bone marrow fails to produce enough of all three types of blood cells – red, white and platelets.
Aplastic anaemia treatment is very similar to the treatment someone might have for leukaemia - but because it's so rare, families often don't have access to the same information and support.
The Aplastic Anaemia Trust is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by aplastic anaemia and funding research into this rare form of bone marrow failure.
We fund research to improve treatment, provide expert information, and work tirelessly, at grassroots level, to support every aplastic anaemia patient and their loved ones.
We’re a small team based at home in various UK locations! We keep in touch frequently online and have a warm, supportive and positive culture.
