Benefits and Outcomes:

Working with us is unique! We are a supportive, values‐driven organisation. We are small enough to be able to innovate quickly, and to ensure all who work with us are valued and nurtured; and large and successful enough to have influence with and be supported by local and national decision‐makers.

The post we are advertising for is a result of sustained growth, and will be a new addition to a growing team. We are a values‐led organisation, supporting the local economy, and we expect all our staff to support our belief that children and young people should be at the centre of everything we do. This means a commitment to community cohesion and social mobility for all.

We are looking for a highly flexible, hard‐working team player who is ready to learn with us, in a supportive, friendly and optimistic team. This post would suit someone who would be interested in developing a career within the charitable sector or within the public sector. You are likely to have had some experience of working with, or for, a charity, or in a community, school, health, or training setting and want a job which will combine the dynamism of partnership development, with the social value of working in the education, health and care sector.

A willingness to attend occasional conferences and meetings away from the area (with full expenses provided) is required, as is the ability to work occasional evenings and single weekend days, when time off in lieu will be given.

Benefits include:

• 29 days annual leave per year plus bank holidays
• Clear performance expectations and opportunity to increase salary banding annually
• Training and personal development opportunities
• There is a hybrid option, but at least three days a week should be in the office. We will consider flexible working patterns.
