Inclusion and diversity at Unifrog
 

• Within the company we try to foster a culture of innovation, and a happy working environment, both because this is the right thing to do, and because we think this results in the most effective team. To this end we believe in open communication, celebrating successes, supporting each other, not being afraid to be wrong or to fail, and promoting good ideas wherever they come from.

• As a platform that supports teachers and students from a huge variety of backgrounds it’s important that our team and leadership reflects this diversity. This is something we are actively working towards and prioritising. We want to embed diversity, equity and inclusion across everything we do, continually evaluating policies and practices to make sure they are inclusive and equitable.

• To make sure everyone’s voice is heard and people have the opportunities to learn to be better allies in the workplace, we encourage the team to share what they’re celebrating, facilitate training and group discussions, and seek regular feedback about what more the company could do to help people feel included.

• To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background. We also randomise the order of responses so that it’s less likely that a candidate is advantaged or disadvantaged by where their answers appear compared to other candidates.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Volunteer Manager to join our small, collaborative team. You will be a proactive, organised individual with experience of working with volunteers and a talent for building strong relationships. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on variety and is committed to enhancing the experience and contributions of volunteers. 

As Volunteer Manager, you will oversee all aspects of volunteer management, including recruitment, training, development of new volunteer projects, and ongoing support. You will be willing to develop and deliver training programmes yourself where needed and identify and support volunteers to take on roles such as trainers and facilitators. A key focus will be ensuring volunteers are well-prepared and integrated into ADCH activities. 

As part of a small team, you will need to be hands-on and flexible, taking on a variety of tasks and supporting organisational events and projects. With occasional travel and overnight stays required, this role suits someone adaptable, resourceful, and ready to make a meaningful impact. 

If you are an innovative and driven individual ready to embrace this challenging and rewarding role, we’d love to hear from you! 

This is a 12-month fixed-term position, with the potential for extension subject to securing further funding.

Closing Date: Monday, 13th January 2025, 5pm. 

Interviews: Tuesday 21 January 2025 at Birmingham Dogs Home, Solihull.  

If you do not hear from us within 5 days of the closing date, please assume you were unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we reserve the right to close this post early, should we receive a high volume of applications. 

Further details about the role, including key responsibilities and criteria, can be found in the job description within our recruitment pack. Please ensure you review the pack carefully before beginning your application.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone with a killer eye for detail, a can-do approach, and a healthy dose of get-up-and-go. You’re savvy and clued up about how the latest digital tools can help you with the day-to-day, and love figuring out how stuff works. You're someone who takes pride in doing things quickly and to a high-standard, and can work well as part of a busy team. You're also extremely personable and a creative problem-solver, ready to patiently meet people where they are while guiding them through a brand-new LMS and way of working. You're proactive, take pride in a well-oiled machine, and are passionate about supporting people to make the most of the opportunities available to them. 

Role Purpose  

Foyers are transformational living and learning environments for young people who can’t live at home, where they can realise their power and purpose. However, access to high quality learning opportunities and progression routes can be sparse, and funding for learning in Foyers has been significantly reduced. Our vision is to build a creative learning and development environment that is shaped by the Foyer community and is accessible to any young person in a Foyer.

Our Advantaged Thinking Learning Community (ATLC) framework and digital Learning Management System (LMS) will provide an environment for young people to thrive, with space for collaboration, learning and personal development in a supportive community they can help to build. We are co-creating a bank of accessible and engaging learning materials, embracing existing learning programmes in Foyers while stimulating new approaches by creating a ‘living curriculum’ that remains relevant to people’s aspirations. 

In spring 2025, we will be launching the ATLC across our network of youth Foyers, adding to our existing offer of programmes, training and events. We're looking for a passionate Digital Learning and Projects Coordinator to nurture the LMS, coordinate our network activities, and help us grow a national community of learners.

An opportunity to really make a difference. 
Peaches Womb Cancer Trust was founded in 2020 by a team of enthusiastic and dedicated researchers, doctors and nurses working alongside Professor Emma Crosbie. Since then, the original founders have been joined by invaluable volunteers and 2 staff members to ensure we can raise awareness, support patients, fund and promote womb cancer research.

Womb cancer, also known as endometrial and uterine cancer, is the most common gynaecological cancer in the UK. Affecting approximately 9,700 people annually, most are diagnosed over 50 years of age and have gone through the menopause, but womb cancer can affect younger women too. When diagnosed at an early stage, womb cancer is often treatable: when diagnosed at early stages, 1 and 2, the survival rate is 92%. However, when the disease is diagnosed at later stages, 3 and 4, the survival rate reduces to 15%. Currently 1 in 5 women, or people with a womb, are diagnosed at advanced stages. Latest figures show that the equivalent of 27 people every day are receiving a new womb cancer diagnosis and 7 people are dying from this disease every day in the UK. Peaches want to change that and save lives. We can't think of a better way to spend your time and deploy your skills. 

We are looking for a knowledgeable, diligent and skilled CNS to help develop and provide support services.

Role overview

Over the next 12 months, we have exciting plans to enhance the support services offered by Peaches to ensure we can meet the diverse needs of those affected by womb cancer. We envisage support services delivered will build upon our current monthly virtual peer support coffee mornings to include more bespoke and frequent meetings as well as an online peer support group, online peer events and some in-person events. Remote working contract for 12 hours per week on a 12 month contract. We may request that you attend in person strategy meetings in Manchester on a quarterly basis and some in person support events

Key responsibilities

Development of support services including an online peer support group, online peer support events, webinar series and in person events.

Manage support queries, set up of online events and peer support group including set up and moderation with assistance from charity staff...

Assisting in the development of content related to support services to include in monthly newsletter and social media.

Support the development of medical information pages on website and in print literature.

Help to facilitate the expansion of our network of CNS and healthcare professionals with an interest in womb cancer. Develop relationships to ensure appropriate signposting to charity and national awareness of support services offered through attendance at relevant conferences and events.

Ensure safeguarding of those requesting support and participating in peer support services.

We are looking for someone with the following:

Band 7 qualified Cancer Nurse Specialist with experience of caring for those affected by womb cancer

NMC registered

Previous experience of caring for others in a sensitive manner

Up to date knowledge of womb cancer

Previous experience of facilitating one to one support

You'll lead a dynamic team of fundraisers, crafting compelling grant applications and proposals that resonate with Spurgeons mission.
