Our training programme significantly improves the ability of domestic abuse professionals and other frontline responders and organisations, including police, children’s social care staff, and corporate HR and community teams, to identify and respond to domestic abuse and closely linked issues. We take a holistic approach, looking at the whole family and the connections between them to keep families safe sooner, and offer a whole range of training products to develop people who support them, including accredited professional training (e.g Idva, Ypva), accreditation of specialist DA services (Leading Lights), and bespoke services for public, voluntary and commercial organisations. 

Our training programme across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland aims to create: 

• user value: with learners who attend our training feeling more confident and better equipped to fulfil their role 
• social value: with measures showing professionals who attend our training provide more effective interventions for those who experience abuse 
• financial value: responsible for generating around a third of SafeLives’ annual income

​As one of SafeLives’ trainers and assessors you will be part of the SafeLives learning and accreditation programme, with shared responsibility for developing, delivering and continuing a range of courses from within our suite. More broadly, you will work to ensure that SafeLives’ training programmes are in line with our strategic priorities and are of the highest quality, including course development and delivery with external partners and associate trainers. 

You will combine teamwork with working independently on a day-to-day basis at home, in SafeLives’ Bristol or London office and at training locations. 

This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the performance of professionals within the domestic abuse and related sectors at a national level as well as the response of other frontline or first responders in the public, voluntary or commercial sectors, and thus help address the risks faced by victims of domestic abuse. 

Benefits include a generous package including: 25 days’ holiday a year plus public holidays, employee pension scheme with 4% employer contribution, Cycle2Work scheme, 365 days a year Employee Assistance Programme

Are you an empathetic individual with experience of managing volunteers?  Do you have experience of involving people with multiple and complex needs or developing peer support services? Then join Shelter’s Birmingham hub as a Volunteer and Training Coordinator and you could soon be helping us to tackle rough sleeping on and around the railways through a new strategic partnership between Shelter and Network Rail.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Shelter Birmingham is a dynamic city centre hub offering a holistic integrated advice and support service to the diverse residents of the city. We provide specialist advice and support to over 4,000 clients a year and are committed to delivering more of what we do to the people who need us most. A new strategic partnership between Shelter and Network Rail aimed at tackling rough sleeping on and around the railways has resulted in us creating some brand new roles.

About the role
In this exciting new role you’ll be part of a pilot service that aims to provide a route out of homelessness for every rough sleeper on Britain’s railways. Your focus will be on developing a team of volunteers with lived experience of homelessness. You’ll recruit, induct and support a group of up to ten volunteers who will be supporting the local outreach engagement team by providing practical help and advocacy to rough sleeper clients.  You’ll also develop and deliver a training programme for station staff to increase their understanding of homelessness and take practical steps to help rough sleepers in and around the main city centre train station. In short, it’s an interesting and rewarding role that will help change lives for the better.

About you
Forward thinking and flexible, you actively support the introduction of new ideas, methods and processes to working practices. What’s more, you ideally have some experience in the delivery of frontline services, either operationally or supporting delivery. You’ll have experience in managing volunteers, including an awareness of managing risk and safeguarding, supporting volunteers and recognising their contribution.  Ideally, you’ll have experience of involving people with lived experience in service delivery. A proven ability to create and deliver successful training programmes or courses to individuals and groups is also required. Commercially aware, proactive and driven to achieve positive outcomes, you work well both independently and as part of a team and have the utmost respect for others opinions.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave (pro rata), enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Founded by ITV Political Editor Robert Peston (Trustee), and chaired by Andrew Law (Caxton Associates), Speakers for Schools was created to help level the playing field for UK state schools and their students by giving them the same access to the UK’s leading figures from politics, business, science, sport, the arts and more, as that enjoyed by private schools.

Bill Gates, Baroness (Martha) Lane Fox, Professor Brian Cox, David Dein, David Cameron, Natalie Bennett, Ed Balls, Naomi Campbell and over two thousand other influential, eminent and inspirational people, have been kind enough to volunteer their time to speak with Speakers for Schools. Almost a million Young People have attended a Speakers for Schools talk.

In 2016, we launched our Experience Programme. Experience works with our outstanding network of speakers and partner employers, to offer young people, amazing work experience opportunities, which would often be out of reach to them.

Our Experience Programme has more than trebled in impact since September as employers such as the Bank of England, M&C Saatchi, Disney, Spotify, Santander, Morgan Sindal, BA, BP, Cisco and others offer placements to thousands of Young People. In March we launched a ground-breaking virtual work experience programme in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Introduction

We are a church of evangelical Christians meeting in Crofton, an area with a population of about 15,000 people, between Orpington and Petts Wood in South East London.
