Acting Senior Support Worker Jobs

YESS is seeking a vibrant and engaging person with relevant leadership experience to take over as CEO, to consolidate and build on recent growth and maintain YESS’s reputation as a leading national employment law advice charity.

About Us

Your Employment Settlement Service (YESS) is a legal advice charity and a company limited by guarantee. Established in 2014, we provide free and affordable employment law advice to people and organisations who cannot source this elsewhere. We do not litigate; our focus is on maintaining working relationships where possible or reaching negotiated agreements where it is not. We are approachable, collaborative, and constructive. Aggressive or adversarial styles have no place at YESS.

As well as advice work, we also have a growing mediation practice. We contribute to many working groups and panels to represent the needs of lower paid and vulnerable workers in the development of legal advice provision and employment law.

Typically, 10-20% of our work is grant funded, benefiting clients on low or no income (although this is currently under 10%). A small amount comes from donations. The remainder comes from paying clients.

The Role

As CEO, you will lead our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff, oversee the delivery of our strategic goals, and act as the public face of the charity. You will work with and advise the Board of Trustees, in relation to YESS’s activities, performance and strategic direction. You will raise awareness of our approach and activities, to bring in new work and funding, and contribute to the public discourse on employment relations and employment law.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the delivery of YESS’s charitable objects particularly the delivery of free and affordable advice services to lower paid and vulnerable individuals.
• Provide leadership to a small hybrid-working team, ensuring effective working supported by appropriate resources and supervision.
• Maintain and develop sources of revenue-generating legal work.
• Identify and secure funding from trusts, foundations, and donors.
• Strategically manage YESS’s finances.
• Ensure processes are in place for the effective engagement, motivation, performance management and support of staff, consultants, and volunteers.

About You

We are looking for someone who is experienced in the delivery of legal advice services with strong leadership experience, ideally gained in the charity sector. You may be a currently practising employment lawyer, but this is not imperative as no client work is required.

Essential attributes:

• Experience in the delivery of revenue-generating employment legal advice services gained in charity and/or private practice settings (in the capacity as either a qualified lawyer or as someone who has managed/directed qualified lawyers in the delivery of such advice).
• Commitment to YESS’s fundamental principle of resolving workplace disputes without litigation.
• Experience of leadership and strategy development.
• Excellent at relationship-building and communication, with proven networking skills.
• A desire to spread awareness of YESS’s work and influence policy development in employment relations and employment law.
• Experience in organisational growth and change management.
• Understanding of finance including budgets and cashflow.
• Commitment to implementing technology to make the most of YESS’s limited resources.

Desirable attributes:

• Fundraising and donor management experience
• Administration of grants and evaluating project outcomes
• Understanding of charity finance
• Understanding of finance in a legal services context, including work in progress, utilisation and lock up.
• Experience of working with trustees or other volunteer governance roles
• Experience of leading/managing staff remotely

 

What We Offer

• Salary: £65,000 per annum (pro-rata for part-time). Discretionary bonus dependent on organisational performance. 
• 30 days annual leave, plus bank holidays (pro rata for part-time)
• Home working with flexibility of office attendance
• Pension contribution
• A supportive, inclusive work culture that values flexibility and work-life balance

Director of Discipleship

This is an exciting new role leading, expanding, and embedding a vibrant culture of discipleship and faith formation in existing churches, new Christian communities, and children’s and youth groups in every district and circuit across the Methodist Church in Britain.

This role and its related teams will encourage and support clergy and lay leaders in the Church’s major commitments to multi-generational, whole-life discipleship – the long-term journey of becoming, and growing as, followers of Jesus Christ and communities of God’s grace – so that:

1) more Methodist Christians respond to God’s call in every part of their lives;

2) more religiously-unaffiliated people, especially those within rising generations, begin faith journeys and grow into disciples of Jesus Christ; and

3) more churches and communities experience the joy of transformation, growth, and justice.

The successful candidate will further develop, operationalise, and manage the Discipleship/Methodist Way of Life strategic area of the Methodist Church in Britain’s God For All strategy. This will include working strategically; embedding deep learning and practice; managing staff, workplans and budgets; and organizing networks of leaders.

You will be responsible for directing and managing the implementation, integration, alignment, and strategic deployment of two teams – the Children, Youth, and Family Ministry Team and the Discipleship sub-team of the Evangelism and Growth Team – into one unified, multi-generational Discipleship team on the Mission: Evangelism and Growth Team.

You will be a member of the Evangelism and Growth Team of the Methodist Church in Britain, working collaboratively with many other teams, groups, and networks across and beyond the Methodist Church in Britain. You will also be part of the wider Mission Team, playing a key role in implementing its strategy in response to Our Calling and the Methodist Way of Life. 

In this post, you will have responsibility for the following priorities: 

· Supporting, normalising, and directing a culture of discipleship and faith formation in Methodist districts, circuits, and local churches across diverse contexts 

· Working with circuit superintendents, district chairs, and other senior leaders to build children’s, youth, and young adult ministry into standard operating missional and ministerial practice in local churches and communities across the Church

· Ensuring that clear discipleship foundations and accessible discipleship pathways are built into all relevant major Methodist events, conferences, festivals, courses, and trainings

· Leading the expansion and cross-Church consistent coordination of networks and pathways for discipleship training, children’s and youth worker’s support and organising, and related aspects of clergy and lay leadership in faith formation

About You 

The ideal candidate will need the following: 

· Significant training, leadership, and direct work experience in discipleship and faith formation

· An evidenced track record of integrating discipleship and faith formation into the ministry of local churches, new Christian communities, and children’s and youth groups

· Ability to communicate passionately, accessibly, and theologically with diverse audiences, both religiously-unaffiliated and -affiliated 

· Ability to manage complexity, operate strategically, and build focused, relational teams 

· Abilities as a skilled teacher/trainer, line-manager, and supervisor/coach 

This post carries an occupational requirement for the post holder to be a Christian (in accordance with the Equality Act 2010).
