Providence Row works with more than a thousand homeless and vulnerably housed people a year in East London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice, recovery and learning and training programmes.  Our aim is to ensure that people who are so often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life away from the streets. Central to our work are our core values of Compassion, Respect, Inclusiveness, Empowerment and Justice.  These inform the content, style and delivery of all our services.
Our service is on the front line of both homelessness prevention and the local response to rough sleeping. Beginning with the volunteer led triage assessment process that begins in our Welcome Area, clients are allocated according to specialisms in the team covering preventative work and support for rough sleepers. The main emphasis in the service is to do everything possible to move people into appropriate accommodation in a borough, community or country in which they have rights and entitlements to services.  This work is often done in partnership with other organisations, some of which are funded to help people move away from a life on the streets or which may operate in other sectors such as health. 

The ideal candidate 

You will have previous experience of successfully developing, implementing and maintaining a database that operates effectively across a range of service and project types to provide consistent, accurate and relevant outcome and impact analysis. You have excellent organisational and planning skills, with the ability to work autonomously with minimal supervision.  You have great interpersonal skills and the ability to engage with a wide range of people.  You have a commercial edge to your approach, as well as a real interest in social justice. You enjoy working flexibly in a small team, responding to varying demands from time to time.

The role

At the Canal & River Trust, we believe that life is better by water. We take care of 2,000 miles of canals and rivers, and those waterways have a vital role in the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies. Every role here plays its part in transforming our canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. And your role is no exception.

A new position within the team, our CRM Data Manager will ensure that our charity’s data management practices are consistent, reliable, and first-in-class. Reviewing a system that handles customer data from waterways up and down the country, you’ll make sure that we’re equipped to deal with complex, varied data sets. You’ll define our data structure and run regular audits to make sure it’s well-maintained. You’ll improve our handling processes wherever you can – and you’ll even help colleagues understand data management, ensuring everyone knows all they need to about data integrity.

The most exciting thing? Because you’re joining us in a new role, at a time when we’re reviewing how we handle our data, this is your chance to implement your own vision. If you’ve got the drive to improve what we do, it’s the perfect opportunity to make change and help us provide an even better service, as we work to protect the UK’s waterways.

What we look for

It goes without saying that you’ve got a wealth of knowledge when it comes to data management. You’re experienced in implementing systems, in handling collation, and in making sure data management systems are in line with wider GDPR policy. You’ve got a real eye for detail, ensuring accurate data entry, and you’ve honed your skills in both SQL and Excel data manipulation.

But ultimately, it’s not just about your data management expertise. It’s also about how you support your team. A natural communicator, you can clearly and confidently put your ideas across for any audience, whether it’s colleagues or stakeholders, and you know that great co-operation makes your whole team stronger. That’s why you share your advice and experience wherever you can, to nurture high standards across our organisation. And in the end, you’re proud that your efforts mean a better service for our customers, and for every community that uses the waterways.

The impact you’ll have

The waterways we look after contribute to the health and wellbeing of local communities and economies, creating attractive and connected places to live, work, volunteer and spend leisure time. These historic, natural and cultural assets form part of the strategic and local green-blue infrastructure network, linking urban and rural communities as well as habitats. Our waterways are on the doorstep of 8 million people and reach some of the most deprived communities within the UK. By caring for our waterways and promoting their use we believe we can improve the wellbeing of our nation. Come and be part of it.

Our diversity

We aim to represent the diverse communities we are part of and welcome applicants from across all sectors of the community. We strongly believe that a diverse workforce brings with it a diversity of ideas, thinking and ways of working which enhances what we do.
