About us

REMAP is a unique national charity. It brings together two groups of people: volunteers skilled at making things and disabled people who need specialist equipment. Each year, around 3,000 pieces of custom-made equipment help transform the lives of disabled people.

REMAP’s army of ingenious inventors designs and makes equipment for young and old alike and then provides it free of charge. The aim is always to help people achieve quality of life, filling the gap where no suitable equipment is available commercially.

With an exciting new strategy that will continue to place the client at the heart of our work, we seek an experienced charity sector referral officer to help us deliver on our mission and vision.

REMAP is an organisation that encourages its team members to contribute their thoughts and ideas actively and work together to achieve its aims and ambitions. You will be given the space to work autonomously and grow in the role, but with the support of your colleagues and line manager when you need us. You can work to your strengths and share your successes and learning with the broader team, who will, in turn, look to share their experiences and learning.

The Role

The Referrals Officer role is critical to the charity. It ensures that our referral process is managed effectively for our clients and branches.

This is both an internal and external role. The person in this role is the first point of contact for all referral queries. You will assign referrals to branches, liaise with clients and volunteers, and maintain our CRM system.

We are seeking a strong people person with at least two years of experience operating and maintaining a CRM system regularly (ideally Salesforce). Experience working to develop a CRM system and client journey would be advantageous.

As a small charity, you will thrive in a busy environment, have excellent prioritisation skills and have a positive ‘can do’ attitude. We are a supportive team, and you will work closely with our Operations Manager and wider volunteer delivery colleagues to help REMAP support our clients and branches across the UK.

About You

We want you to bring relevant experience, passion, dedication, positivity, and flair to our work.

To be considered for this role, you will have demonstrable experience in a similar position and be comfortable working with a diverse range of volunteers/people. As a self-starter, you can work at pace and quickly assess and deliver to changing priorities in a busy remote team. You will have excellent interpersonal skills, be able to coordinate multiple tasks/activities and have the flexibility to respond to changing demands. Ideally, you will have experience dealing with enquiries from health professionals and vulnerable clients.

You will be proactive, enthusiastic, and excited about joining an organisation with ambitious plans to future-proof its services and reach more disabled people. Experience working in a remote environment is highly desirable.

Additional information about the role

Place of work: Fully remote, with occasional 2/3 nights away for year-round events.

Working Hours: Full-time, 37 hours per week

Salary: £26,000 – £29,000 dependent on experience

We are a Disabled Confident employee.

Closing date for Applications: 11.59 pm Sunday 19th January 2025

Interviews: Formal interviews for the role will be held on the week commencing 3rd February 2025.

We are recruiting a part-time (16 hours per week) Data Management Officer to join our supportive team who are committed to making life better for Manchester’s unpaid carers.

We are looking for someone experienced in data management, who can organise, maintain and develop our information systems, and produce reports for different audiences.  You might also have some experience supporting reporting and evaluation for a community or charitable organisation, but this is not essential. What is essential, are strong skills in Microsoft Excel!

This is a remote working role and can be worked flexibly, with a limited number of fixed online meeting dates during the month. There may be very occasional in person meetings in Manchester, primarily central Manchester. Your office/admin base would be your home address.

We offer training opportunities, flexible working and a generous leave entitlement.
