Please note: The Ripple Pond is more than a charity - it’s a dynamic, supportive community that transforms lives. We thrive on care and exceptional communication, and we need someone who shares these values.

Key Responsibilities:

• Onboarding new Members (service users), understanding their needs, and providing tailored support.
• Delivering services primarily online/remotely, with occasional travel for networking, building partnerships, and attending events or meetings.

What We Offer:

As an organisation committed to accessibility, inclusion, and social mobility, we’ll support your well-being and professional development throughout your employment.

However, this role is intensive. Success requires inner strength, adaptability, and mental resilience.

Encouragement to Apply:

We view applicants as well-rounded individuals. If this role resonates with you but you’re concerned about gaps in your CV, qualifications, or experience, we encourage you to apply. We care about your potential as much as your background.
