As a leading international Christian development charity, we work in 10 countries across Africa and Asia to defeat leprosy and transform lives.

As part of a fun and supportive team, you’ll be changing the lives of people who have been rejected by society. There’s nothing more rewarding than that!

A valid UK driving licence is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.

We fund cutting-edge research, provide advice and support for the 12 million people who will get a lung condition during their lifetime. We also campaign for clean air and for better NHS diagnosis and treatment.
You will work to ensure that our campaigns have cut through with political decision makers and push for ambitious policies for cleaner air, supporting local people living with lung conditions to ensure that their voices are heard.

When not attending meetings, employees work from home where you will need to have an appropriate home office set up and live within, or in commutable distance, of the portfolio area of Bristol.
Whilst you won’t be working directly with young people, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are having a positive impact on their future opportunities.
What we are looking for:
We are looking for a team player who has a passion for the development of young people and who will be enthusiastic, who can engage and influence a variety of stakeholders and who will be an authentic ambassador for the DofE.
You will need to have outstanding communication and interpersonal skills to engage with internal and external stakeholders and have the skills to inspire and influence them to enable young people to participate in DofE.
To undertake the role, you’ll need to be exceptionally organised, be able to prioritise your workload, meet deadlines and have excellent administrative skills, being both computer literate and competent in MS Office applications.
We are looking for someone who is flexible in their approach, has a positive outlook and who will actively contribute to our team.
The successful applicant should live within, or very close to, the portfolio area of Bristol (please refer to the portfolio map in the job pack).
What will you get in return?
The opportunity to work for a successful and dynamic charity that has the development of young people at its heart and the wellbeing and development of its people constantly in focus.
You will be joining a team of empowered colleagues working together.
A salary of between £28,580 and £33,624 per annum dependent on experience.
From day one we offer excellent staff benefits including a generous pension contribution, an employee assistance programme, healthcare cash plan and volunteer leave. Also, 25 days holiday, plus Bank Holidays and an additional 3 days paid leave between Christmas and the New Year.
