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
As Shop Support Manager, you will provide key operational support on defined areas, working alongside the Shop Manager in Teddington to understand the shop, community, and proposition.
Working closely with the Shop Manager, you'll assist in the delivery of the shop's potential.

The role will also involve the responsibility of day-to-day operations and leadership of the shop to enable the shop's continued success during the Shop Managers absence.
About You
You will be someone with proven retail skills, who understands the importance of teamwork.
You'll bring:
- Retail or charity retail experience
- Excellent customer service skills with the ability to build & maintain positive working relationships with a variety of people.
- A flexible, positive and resilient attitude, able to work at pace in a fast-moving environment.
- Results driven approach with experience of working to targets.

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.

With a focus on translating and joining up user and organisational need, you will support us to deliver user-centred services to the 18 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.
You should have professional experience working as a Service Designer or in another similar role. Our Service Designer will design user-centred experiences for complex services. You will:
Be passionately user-focused by recommending and supporting suitable approaches to understanding users and their needs. You support colleagues across a variety of roles to translate user insights into outcomes.
Ensure evidence and context-based design by collecting and synthesising evidence from best practice, research, and testing to inform your work.
Understand strategic goals and deliver work that supports them while considering organisational constraints. You focus on outcomes rather than solutions.
Collaborate in partnership with multiple teams and roles across the matrix to design the very best outcomes.
Create strong relationships by identifying and engaging key stakeholders. You listen to their needs and use evidence to bring the user need to life and to explain and influence decisions.
Prototype for both digital and non-digital services, working with designers and non-designers. You use prototyping to test and iterate designs and choose the right level of fidelity for the task.
Bring a digital perspective by being responsive to changes in technology and being able to design services that meet users’ needs in the digital environment.
You are passionate about user-centred design and placing people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus at the heart of cohesive, impactful services. You are confident engaging with and influencing stakeholders and involving subject matter experts and users throughout the design process. You instinctively ‘think ‘outside the box,’ striving for excellence, and you work well autonomously and as part of a team.
We are RNID. Together we’ll make life more inclusive for deaf people and those with hearing loss or tinnitus.
Our charity has been through a complete transformation, while building on the best of our past. We’ve returned to our former, much loved name, become wholly remote working, and established a new strategy, focused on reaching the 12 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.
We are creating a radically different culture which is externally focused, curious, evidence-based, deliberate, agile, and future orientated. Our values are at the heart of what we do.
We strive to be and continue to connected to our communities, insightful and confident in what we do and who we are, curious in everything we do and passionate about our purpose.
We are ambitious and this is where you come in.
We champion the value of difference and equality and celebrate our diverse and inclusive workforce. We actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from BAME backgrounds or who are deaf or hard of hearing. With almost 20% of our employees having a disability we proudly hold Disability Confident Leader status and guarantee an interview for disabled applicants meeting the minimum essential criteria.
In your application for this role, please include a weblink to examples of your work or portfolio, evidencing what you will bring to the role. Please include this within your CV or cover letter.

Supporting people who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus
This is a senior role, reporting to the Head of Communications, Fundraising and Advocacy. It will involve contributing to our long-term fundraising strategy and identifying new funding opportunities, as well as delivering a range of initiatives including sponsored events, appeals, and legacy campaigns.
We are seeking someone with a positive and ambitious approach towards fundraising challenges, bringing creativity and energy.
The post will be part of our integrated Communications, Fundraising and Advocacy team. As well as working closely with every other member of the team, it will also involve collaborating with our wider staff team, to effectively understand our funding needs and convey these to potential donors.
We are therefore seeking someone with excellent teamwork skills, who will bring new experience and expertise, while working effectively with colleagues to strengthen our fundraising.
JRS UK places high value on encouraging refugee participation in our fundraising, and the Senior Fundraising Officer will play a key part in ensuring this.
We are seeking someone with a proven track-record in fundraising. Much of our fundraising involves engagement with the Catholic community including parishes and religious orders. A good understanding of this landscape is therefore essential.

Are you called to Mission?
Do you want to help bring life in all its fullness to people living in poverty across Asia and Africa in the name of Jesus? Do you enjoy building relationships, public speaking, and strategic thinking? Are you able to inspire others to bring lasting change? If so, we would love to hear from you!
You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet.
Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to help end leprosy?
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We are a leading international development charity, working in nine countries across Africa and Asia. We are Christ-centered, following His leading to defeat leprosy and transform lives.
We are looking for an inspirational leader to develop and deliver fundraising plans in Scotland, and to provide excellent care for faithful Scottish supporters. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across Scotland.
You’ll be part of a supportive fundraising management team based in Peterborough. We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see your work first hand.
We’re looking for:
- A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches, community groups and businesses
- Proven success in fundraising
- A confident networker
- Experience of managing volunteers
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
- The ability to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy.
TLM is an explicitly Christian charity, serving people of all faiths and none. There is a genuine occupational requirement for the Scotland Country Head to be a committed Christian as you will be preaching and speaking in supporting churches.
A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.
TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign, and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.
