The Role
Many of the people accessing RSC services face multiple challenges beyond those presented by problematic substance use.

The Housing & Criminal Justice Pathways worker role is to support people facing these multiple, complex and interlinked challenges.

Skills and Qualifications
· Good general education with GCSEs (or equivalent) in Maths and English.
· Proficient in Microsoft Office programmes.
· Knowledge of welfare benefits system and relevant legislation.

· You will have a tenacious, innovative and resilient approach to delivering support.
· The role will require you to deliver outreach support - a full UK driving licence and access to a car are a requirement of the post.

· Annual leave purchase scheme
· Enhanced occupational sick pay
· Enhanced employer contribution to your workplace pension
· Death in service benefit

We want to bring the wonders of charity shops back to our high-street and we need driven and passionate people to get us there!
About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the Role
Located in Bath, this is a busy shop in a brilliant location, with a vibrant community! As Shop Manager, you'll be leading the volunteer team, as well as focusing on further recruitment to grow our volunteer team and building strong connections within the local community to ensure the shop's continued success.
About You
You will be someone with exceptional people skills, a leader who understands the importance of community and enjoys supporting people to exercise similar passions through volunteering.
You'll bring:
- Proven experience leading and motivating teams, ideally having managed volunteers, or a retail team previously
- A strong understanding of what good looks like in a busy and successful community-led shop, ideally with some experience within Retail or a clear passion for sustainable fashion and knowledge of products and trends
- A can-do attitude and ability to approach challenges in a positive way, knowing when to reach out for support and guidance where you need it.
Previous charity retail experience is ideal, but not essential. If you have transferable leadership skills or experience managing volunteers in other settings and are looking for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you!
Ways of Working: On-site – this role will be based in the Bath shop. We're looking for someone able to work 5 days (35 hours) per week to include some weekend working.
Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received.

This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
