The Charity 

Founded in 2015, Breaking Barriers is a fast-paced, start-up charity with a mission to help refugees in London gain the knowledge, confidence and experience to secure stable and fulfilling employment in their new home. 

We offer effective and flexible employment support in direct partnership with businesses that help refugees secure work, progress into better jobs, and successfully integrate into UK society. We have a unique approach, working with corporate partners to help refugees develop careers that match their skills, experience and aspirations. 

Since Breaking Barriers’ inception in 2015, we have grown to support in excess of 500 refugees per year and have ambitious plans to expand this as part of our strategic plan. We concentrate on getting things done in a flexible environment where everyone is encouraged to take ownership and contribute. 

We are a team of around 30 staff supported by several hundred volunteers, who are all driven and committed to helping London’s refugee community.  We are looking for similarly driven and ambitious individuals keen to join an enterprising organisation where they can benefit from the opportunity to innovate and shape the direction of the charity. Colleagues who thrive are passionate, driven and have the confidence to work autonomously while remaining team players and sharing credit with all involved.

We are looking for someone who lives and breathes our values: 

·Mission-led: our clients come before everything else. 

·Welcoming: we want all people to feel happy, comfortable and secure with us. 

·Collaborative: we are supportive and considerate, curiously exploring other viewpoints to find solutions.

·Enterprising: we are discerningly bold, entrepreneurial and have the courage to give things a go.

Overall Purpose of the Role 

Breaking Barriers’ Education Programme was started in 2017 to complement our core Employment support. The Programme is designed to enable refugees to achieve the level of English that is needed to enter the workplace or further education by providing supplementary courses to statutory provision. Covering a range of levels of English language courses, from Pre-Beginner to Business Writing, the Programme has expanded to include IT and Numeracy and aims to branch out into further courses, such as Health and Safety. The Education Programme relies on skilled volunteers who lead our education courses and help clients learn English, improve their IT skills and support with curriculum development. Your primary responsibility will be to support the Education Programme Coordinator and the Volunteer Manager with operational administration to support the smooth running of the Education and Volunteering programmes.

The successful applicant will gain valuable programme assistant and administrative experience in the education and refugee sectors. This is an entry-level position but we envisage that the job holder will be able to take on more responsibility as they develop and as the organisation grows and changes.

Key Responsibilities 

Education coordination and administration 

Breaking Barriers runs education classes and training sessions to support its main employment programme. Your responsibilities will include: 

·Help with the recruitment and organisation of classes. 

·Assist with the administration needed to organise volunteers working with the Education Programme. 

·Liaise with volunteers and students by phone and email, providing information and dealing with basic queries. 

·Call and text students to remind them of courses where necessary. 

·Ensure that all necessary data is accurately recorded and kept up-to-date. 

·Follow current administrative processes, ensuring that all paperwork is completed accurately and on-time. 

·Undertake the administration to set up additional sector specific training courses. 

·Coordinate with the Employment team to ensure clients within the Education programme are receiving holistic support, and that the programme continues to meet the needs of refugees also receiving other types of support. 

·Conduct research into other English language and IT and Numeracy opportunities in the area to ensure that Breaking Barriers is not duplicating the work of other organisations, and identify opportunities for partnership where relevant. 

·Take on additional duties and responsibilities, as and when needed, to ensure the smooth running of the Education Programme. 

Volunteer coordination and administration 

Breaking Barriers relies on volunteers who work with clients to provide help in finding employment or learning English, as such there is a natural crossover between the Volunteering and Education programmes. Volunteers may also assist in our offices. Your role involves: 

·Responding to general enquiries about volunteering, providing details of the work. 

·Tracking the progress of volunteer applications. 

·Conducting the initial screening of volunteers. 

·Providing feedback on applications and rejecting unsuccessful applications from volunteers, usually by email. 

·Updating volunteer details into our database. 

·Ensuring that confidentiality forms and references are obtained and uploaded. 

·Monitoring volunteer availability. 

·Dealing with volunteer expenses. 

·Keeping in touch with volunteers, maintaining an on-going relationship by phone and email 

·Managing volunteer training needs. 

·Recognising outstanding contributions from volunteers. 

·Helping to grow the number of volunteers, finding creative ways to recruit new volunteers and promoting more involvement from existing volunteers.

Are you passionate about global health, motivated by your Christian faith, and looking to make a positive difference in the world? Are you highly organised, with excellent communication and administration skills that will help us manage relationships with external programme partners to ensure medical aid reaches those who need it?

International Health Partners (IHP) is a global health charity coordinating the safe and responsible donation of medicines and health supplies to people around the world who lack access. We work with a range of global partners to respond rapidly to humanitarian disasters, support long-term healthcare programmes, and equip doctors and other healthcare professionals with supplies for short-term medical trips. We specifically focus on helping those in hard-to-reach, vulnerable and disaster-hit communities. We coordinate the safe and responsible donation of medical products to where the needs are greatest, so that people do not suffer needlessly from treatable illnesses. The global outbreak of Covid-19 has further highlighted the urgent need for improving access to medicines and strengthening health systems.

We are seeking a Programmes Officer to provide effective support to our work in health programmes and humanitarian response. The Programmes Officer will help us identify the needs of our partners overseas – aid agencies and medical organisations – and support the preparation of appropriate shipments containing donations of medicines and medical supplies from European pharmaceutical companies.  There will be plenty of administration – everything from due diligence checks on potential and existing partners, to looking at the product needs of our Essential Health Packs and processing applications from medics for these valuable kits.

We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, has an excellent eye for detail, and wants to learn and contribute to a great team. We can offer you a rewarding and varied role, with lots of training and support, in our small but busy team. In the last two years we were able to send over 6 million treatments to places like Yemen, South Sudan, Palestine and Guatemala, where easily treatable diseases can mean chronic pain, poor quality of life or even a death sentence.

About Relief International.

Relief International (RI) is a leading nonprofit organization working in 16 countries to relieve poverty, ensure well-being and advance dignity. We specialize in fragile settings, responding to natural disasters, humanitarian crises and chronic poverty.

Relief International combines humanitarian and development approaches to provide immediate services while laying the groundwork for long-term impact. Our signature approach — which we call the RI Way—emphasizes local participation, an integration of services, strategic partnerships and a focus on civic skills. In this way, we empower communities to find, design and implement the solutions that work best for them.

Relief International includes the four members of the RI Alliance in the USA, UK, France, and Belgium. Under our alliance agreement, we operate under a single, shared management structure with one CEO and one Board of Directors.

RI is active in 16 countries around the world, including some of the most fragile: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, and Yemen.

We design our programs to incorporate The RI Way: local participation, integrated programming, the development of civic skills, and partnerships including with local NGOs, governments, and the private sector.

About No Isolation

No Isolation's mission is to bring people together through warm technology. We do this through UX-driven innovation, to reduce the social isolation experienced by groups in society.

We have two products on the market today. AV1 is a telepresence robot for children who cannot attend school due to long-term illness. KOMP is a device that connects analogue grandparents with their digital relatives.

Core responsibilities

Working collaboratively with the UK team, your primary responsibility will be closing new B2B opportunities for AV1. You will progress leads by listening to the customers needs and supporting them in their buying process. This will entail liaising over email and telephone, demonstrating our products in group meetings, presenting to large groups, and drawing up contracts.

In addition to managing the end of the sales funnel, you will help the marketing team to determine promotion activities that will generate sales enquiries, and you will work together with the key account manager to ensure the success of initial pilots. Together with your team you will help make AV1 a mainstream, easily-accessible tool for children too unwell to attend school.

Key tasks

• Listen and understand the needs of AV1 leads
• Present AV1 to local authorities, schools, charities, and families
• Travel the UK to visit customers, deliver events, and network
• Support in the buying and procurement process
• Track deals in our CRM, and report key sales prediction data
• Negotiate contracts and close new business sales
• Ensure the successful launch of new AV1 pilots

Who are you?

You are caring, committed and genuinely passionate about reducing social isolation.

You are charismatic, a confident communicator, and your energy is contagious. Building a close bond with strangers is something that comes easily to you, by practicing reflective listening and empathetic understanding.

You are deemed a trustworthy, helpful, and reliable source of support and guidance in the buying process. Catching the early morning train to Edinburgh or arriving back late evening from Birmingham is an exciting prospect for you. On days at the London office you enjoy spending time with your team, having lunch together, and building camaraderie. You take ownership and responsibility, and use data and funnel insights to monitor your own success within the team.

Characterising the right personal fit for No Isolation is difficult, because everybody is different, and we value our diverse team. We want our team to be representative of society. The range of perspectives and experience diversity brings is an asset to our organisation and we want to create an inclusive, welcoming environment for all, regardless of age, disability, gender identity or gender expression, race, ethnicity, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or any other equality characteristic. However, our employees share some common traits: they are kind, self-propelled, hardworking, great team players, responsible and enjoy a good laugh. As the UK team is small, you will play an integral role in helping build the cultural foundation of the London office.

Key characteristics

• Charismatic, self-propelled, confident
• Hard working and a team player
• Knowledgeable of B2B sales, in particular in relation to public bodies and procurement processes
• Passionate about improving the lives of children unable to attend school

We can offer:

• Opportunity to join a innovative tech start-up
• Unique culture and work environment
• A rewarding and meaningful experience
• Flexible working hours, with core hours between 10-3
• Share acquisition program for employees
• Commission scheme
• Visits to our Oslo office
• Christmas and Summer parties, where UK and Norway offices come together
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• Work at an award-winning co-working space alongside other great businesses
• 25 days holiday (+ Bank Holidays)
• Two additional “pyjama days” a year, for the days when something unplanned demands your attention
• Competitive salary

Staff reviews:

"Great people who take care of each other and have fun, while working for an important cause that we are truly passionate about"

"Smart, fun and driven people that all support the mission of the company with passion. And it's the best to work at a company with a social mission, knowing that everything you do has an impact on the wellbeing of others."

"Hard problems to solve, fulfilling work, and a great social environment."
