Nature is in big trouble and we need your help!

The UK is among the most nature depleted countries in the world. We now have a moral obligation to save nature and this is a view shared by the millions of supporters of conservation organisations across the UK. From now until 2030 we have ambitious plans and targets - working together with our community of members and partners to collectively change the fate of nature, building upon our land ownership to help give nature a home.

About the role:

As a Face to Face Area Manager (F2FAM), you will be an integral part of the RSPB’s mission to save nature, during a time when the natural environment is facing numerous and increasing challenges and threats. You will be leading a team whose mission is to inspire the public to support us through membership by traveling across the region and attending a variety of places and events.

Through your role, you will provide ongoing support for your dispersed team via site visits. During these visits, you will ensure fundraisers are upholding the RSPB core values through their effectual storytelling and nature on a table display whilst also displaying the skills which lead to making memberships.

It is your responsibility to provide valuable feedback to fundraisers and to implement and follow up on suitable support plans for all members of the team to maintain a culture of high-quality face-to-face standards and to achieve stretching KPIs and targets. You’ll be expected to work closely with your line manager and report ongoing progress.

Being comfortable giving and receiving feedback regularly is of the utmost importance in the Area Manager role and will allow you to manage performance consistently throughout your team, which will aid in building strong and honest working relationships. Using feedback from site visits and peers, you will develop support plans for each of your Membership Fundraisers which you will discuss and assess through regular, scheduled 1:1’s.

Effective team support can only be achieved through good time management and exemplary organisation skills to give equal and necessary support to the full team. Face to Face Area Managers must also build strong, collaborative, working relationships with many key parties, including peers, Membership Venues Officers, the recruitment staff, and local reserves, therefore effective communication and negotiation skills are a must.

Face to Face Area Managers are also responsible for the recruitment and training of new Membership Fundraisers, so it is expected that you will be able to coach new team members effectively to build their capabilities through buddy shifts and support visits and should be comfortable using models such as Situational Leadership. As you induct new staff members you must be able to ‘walk the walk’ and show what good looks like at all times.

Area Managers are expected to be role models within their teams and should consistently uphold the RSPB core values are well as demonstrating these to their teams.

What we need from you:

• Demonstration of a collaborative rather than competitive approach
• Able to inspire and lead a remote-working team
• Role model to RSPB values
• Proactive and solutions focus
• Comfortable receiving and giving feedback
• Leading and motivating teams to achieve stretching targets
• Experience in confidently addressing poor performance of direct reports
• Comfortable recruiting, training, and developing new team members
• Leading from the front to inspire new members to join the RSPB
• Experience in working with teams to deliver exceptional fundraising standards
• Comfortable seeking ongoing support from the Operation Manager
• Full drivers licence valid for use in the UK

Position:  Chief Executive

Organisation: Redress Scotland​

Location: Scotland, Central Belt

Salary: £77,340 to £83,233 per annum + pension + holiday + flexible remote working

Closing date: 12.00 noon on the 31st May 2021

Background

For decades, children in residential care in Scotland were failed by those entrusted to look after them.  Scotland is taking steps to face up to those failing by establishing a financial redress scheme for survivors of historical child abuse in care.

While nothing can ever make up for the suffering survivors have endured, financial redress can provide acknowledgement and recognition of the harm done.  A national redress scheme will offer a non-adversarial alternative route to justice and access to support and apology.

To deliver this, the Scottish Government is supporting the creation of a new ‘non-departmental public body’ entitled Redress Scotland.  This body will assess and make decisions on applications from survivors (and in some cases next of kin) seeking redress.  Redress Scotland will be entirely independent of the Scottish Government.

Organisation

Redress Scotland is primarily a decision-making body.  It will not process applications, provide support to applicants or arrange payments.  In order to make best use of public resources, all administrative aspects of the national scheme will instead be carried out by Scottish Government without impinging on the independence of Redress Scotland’s decision-making.

The Role

Redress Scotland is seeking to appoint a Chief Executive who will be the board’s principal adviser on the discharge of its statutory functions.

You will provide strong leadership from the outset, working to establish a strategic framework for Redress Scotland and putting in place the right resources, processes and policies to ensure success.  The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of designing and implementing organisational strategies, governance arrangements, resource plans and corporate reports. 

You will operate with high levels of personal integrity and be able to build new trusted relationships across organisational boundaries, helping to create a trauma-informed organisation that inspires the trust of the survivor community.

Main duties include:

• Working closely with the Chair, you will establish the strategic framework for Redress Scotland, translating this into operational processes and creating the right conditions for success as an independent public body.
• Make evidence-based recommendations to the Board on the action and resources required to achieve its vision – including recruitment, training and wider business infrastructure.
• Recruit and develop a small secretariat team, confidently communicating the needs of survivors in a clear and compelling manner and instilling a culture of trauma-informed practice. 
• Provide concise advice to the Board on the effective discharge of its responsibilities – as set out in legislation and statutory guidance – demonstrating a clear commitment to continuous improvement.
• Put in place robust governance, risk and reporting arrangements, following best practice to ensure legal and regulatory compliance.  This includes annual corporate, financial and operational reports as set out in legislation.
• Build new and trusting relationships with survivors, survivor organisations, care providers and other key stakeholders, working collaboratively across boundaries to promote the purpose and values of Redress Scotland.
• Work to ensure Redress Scotland is a professional and accessible organisation.  Role modelling a commitment to integrity, accountability, objectivity and equality.  This includes setting high standards of performance and establishing appropriate monitoring arrangements.

At the Marine Conservation Society, we’re at the heart of the movement to save our seas as the UK's leading marine charity. From getting people to the beach to take part in litter picks, to campaigning for better protections for our seas and encouraging people to make sustainable seafood choices, we’re advocates for our ocean and the communities and animals which rely upon them.

Our network of volunteer Sea Champions are our local ambassadors in communities across the UK, providing vital support for us to promote our campaigns, conservation work, membership and fundraising initiatives, encouraging active participation in protecting – and enjoying – our seas, shores and wildlife.

Your role

Our Volunteer & Community Engagement Managers are self-motivated individuals who recruit and develop our Sea Champion network, promoting wider public awareness of MCS and proactively supporting our conservation goals, as well as increasing our membership base and fundraising activities.

You will be able to develop resources that inspire audiences to engage with our messages both online and face-to-face at events, so a committed interest in communicating marine conservation will enthuse and motivate people to support our aims.  The existing network in Scotland is active, so you will need to hit the ground running and be able to manage your time well.

• A desire to inspire and educate young people and some skills or experience in delivering sessions specifically to them in a number of settings
• An Enhanced Disclosure & Barring check (we will support this)

Got what it takes?

• The role is home-based so you will be independently motivated, and have easy access to the region – confidence travelling and your own transport would be advantageous
• Excellent communication and presentation skills that inspire and engage including delivery of education sessions to young people
• Able to manage the setting up/packing down of event equipment (e.g. gazebos, boxes of leaflets) 

We are looking for people who demonstrate our values, but who also contribute their own perspectives and experiences to add to our knowledge and our culture.

We understand that interviews can be difficult for some people who have a condition or disability that they live with. We want to make it as easy as possible for every candidate to shine during their application process, so please let us know what we can do to accommodate you.

Notes

Everyone can expect to be treated with consideration and respect and MCS is committed to providing an inclusive environment for all.  Good working relationships release the full potential, creativity and productivity of each individual, in an atmosphere where everyone can learn and work without prejudice, discrimination, harassment or violence.

We are committed to developing a team which is reflective of our society, and which can offer insight and views that influence our work.  We are particularly interested in applications from groups which are under-represented in marine, environmental and charity sectors.

About you - as volunteer project coordinator, you will play an important role in helping us realise these ambitions.  Providing our volunteers with a clear framework for their activities, it will be your role to develop and embed a framework of standards and practices that ensure that the RTPI appropriately develops, trains and supports the RTPI’s community of volunteers and staff.  You will possess strong leadership and communication skills to build relationships and trust with colleagues across the organisation. You will inspire and support colleagues to build volunteer capacity and help the Institute understand, monitor and measure the impact our volunteer community has on helping us reach our collective goals

RTPI has a positive, supportive and inclusive work environment which actively operates a policy of helping its employees at all levels to achieve professional growth. We seek to foster a collaborative and respectful work environment which promotes equality, diversity and inclusion.
