Our recruitment process is anonymised and candidates' names are hidden. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates, who are currently under-represented throughout YMCA England & Wales. Safer recruitment is important to us and the successful applicant will be asked to provide two references. They will also be required to complete a safeguarding self-declaration, safeguarding training and undertake a DBS check.

The role

The Outcomes Star touches many aspects of service delivery, from interactions with clients and worker skills to supervision and strategic decisions. Facilitating learning through training is a key aspect of Triangle’s work as it is essential to the effective implementation of the Star.  This is then followed by a process of implementation support to help embed the best Star use possible. 

Supporting implementation with some larger or more complex clients is crucial to ensure that the Star is embedded in practice and used well across the organisation.  This is achieved through building relationships, delivering training, supporting and practically helping clients to use the Star well. 

We are looking to recruit a bright, enthusiastic person to join our friendly and dynamic team at the cutting edge of thinking and practice in supporting and measuring service user change. The position is based in South Central England. (i.e. covering Bedford, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Herefordshire, Oxford, Worcestershire and Warwickshire)

The successful applicant will be working from home with regular travel.

Outcomes to be achieved

• Triangle clients are making the best possible use of the Star:
  • Their workers are well trained, through access to high quality training
  • Their workers use the Star effectively with service users to help them understand what they need and to achieve positive changes in their lives
  • Their managers use the valuable data the Star can generate (when used well) to understand the service strengths and identify any areas for improvement
  • They are using the right Star version, and the Star is an appropriate tool for them
  • They have a clear understanding of the best packages of licences and training for them and are supported to make sustainable and appropriate choices  
• Where organisations choose to have internal ‘Licensed Trainers’ they are enabled to offer high quality training and support for their colleagues:
  • Their trainers are well trained through our training for trainers option
  • They access and use relevant support and training updates from Triangle
  • They access and use a range of resources to support their internal training
  • They access and use the CPD opportunities offered through their relationship with Triangle
• Triangle colleagues are supported to develop and provide bespoke learning opportunities for clients, their workers, managers, and trainers.

Main Tasks

Training

The key focus of this role, taking up to 60% of the time, is working as a key member of the training team to:

• Lead on development and maintenance of our e-learning/digital learning offer. 
• Facilitate high quality learning through training, on average 2 days a week.  This will, in the main, be delivering the core training course (Introductory training for workers) but will also include some follow-on training, (for example, we also deliver courses such as ‘Managing Difficult Conversations, ‘Action Planning’ and a ‘Keyworker Course’.) There will be opportunity to deliver our Train the Trainer programme. 
• Together with colleagues from the training and implementation teams provide flexible support to Licensed Trainers through development days, email, phone, virtual meetings. 
• Together with colleagues from across the organisation contribute to the development of new courses and resources in response to our internal learning and requests from clients, Licensed Trainers, and colleagues.
• Signpost clients to further support within Triangle.
• Keep accurate records of training delivered.

It is not expected that clients trained by the post holder as part of their training teamwork will go on to receive ongoing support from the post holder.  In most cases these will be smaller clients who will receive light touch support from our Client Services team or from other Implementation Leads.

Implementation Support

In addition to the tasks in the trainer role the post holder will also hold a small caseload of larger or strategically important clients who warrant additional Implementation Support and a significant ongoing relationship.  The post holder will be part of the team of Implementation Leads across the UK and this role will take up 40% of their time. The additional tasks will include:

• Supporting larger, complex or strategically important clients in whatever ways are needed to implement the Star effectively. Including the following:
  • Initial contact with new larger clients by phone, email and meetings and deliver presentations/workshops often aimed at Managers.
  • Putting together the best mix of training, support etc in an initial costed quote/proposal
  • Delivering training where appropriate
  • Developing ongoing relationships with clients, offering regular Implementation Support which will often involve looking at their Star Data.

• Identify and share opportunities for improving what we do to promote new business, new Stars and improve implementation support.
• Where needed, support clients to set up and use our accessible web application - the Star Online - in coordination with the Star Online Support desk.
• Keep records of interactions with clients up to date and accurate in our client management system

Job Purpose

We are looking for an experienced brand manager that wants to use their experience to drive our communications and campaigns forwards and change children’s lives for the better.

The right person for this role will be an experienced brand leader, energised by the opportunity to bring a brand to life for both internal and external audiences. A powerful and engaging communicator, you will inspire each member of staff across the organisation to identify with our brand and apply it to their work.

A natural storyteller, you will understand how to develop and use our brand framework and content to engage a wide range of external audiences. You will have the ability to work with senior stakeholders to define the themes the organisation should be speaking about to demonstrate relevance and get cut through within the marketplace. This role requires you to influence teams across the organisation, aligning our communications across audiences to tell powerful and consistent stories about our work, including mass market, philanthropists, corporate and church partners and institutional donors.

As part of your remit, you will guide our Public Engagement teams in using powerful content across channels – in particular the digital space – to engage our mass market audiences and to help us stand out in a crowded marketplace. You will be agile and responsive, able to recognise relevant themes and opportunities coming from both our own research and the UK news agenda to strengthen our campaigns and drive awareness and engagement.

Being an inspiring people manager, you will be able to manage and empower a busy team of expert creatives in the production of the powerful copy, engaging design and fresh video content which fuels our external communications.

As an active Christian*, this role offers you the opportunity to integrate your Christian faith and be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations.

In addition to the salary offered, we offer good benefits including pension, generous holiday entitlement and free parking (MK only).
