- Manage our activity supporting the creation and development of new or emerging community rail partnerships, station groups and community stations, and our support for those undergoing major change or challenges, ensuring this is carefully balanced with existing members’ needs;
- Ensure our members’ voices, experiences and insights can be effectively used by our other teams and external partners, in their delivery, planning and strategic influencing work, especially ensuring that case studies, stories, examples and views are fed through to our communications, policy and events activity;
- Play a key role in our liaison with and reporting to our own funders, and other major funders of our members, including ensuring effective monitoring and evaluation of our S&D work, collating good evidence of our own and our members’ impact, and maintaining a robust awareness of and ability to advocate on opportunities and risks in community rail;
- As a member of our senior leadership team, work closely with senior colleagues and across the organisation, and liaise with our Board as relevant, to co-ordinate and manage the delivery of our overarching strategy, reinforce our values, ensure the whole team is engaged with our mission and purpose, and to show external leadership across our members, partners and beyond.

Other information
As you will be home-based and managing a dispersed team, we are flexible about your location. However, you will be expected to travel to our office in Huddersfield for in-person full-team meetings quarterly, and you will need to bring your team together at a central location with similar regularity in between. On top of this, attendance at occasional in-person events and partner meetings, and visits to members to learn more about community rail and assist the team, will be important. We therefore welcome applications from those with decent public transport links, not too far from a railway station to enable journeys to be made sustainably.

In 2017, we featured on a BBC1 DIY SOS & Children in Need special, which resulted in our beautiful centre with three semi-independent living flats attached. Our bespoke and holistic Transition to Independent Living programme helps young people aged 16-19 gain essential independent living skills as they prepare to leave care.
Our dedicated team of youth workers, night staff, and volunteers run a variety of activities and clubs for young people aged 4-25, including coffee mornings for carers, playgroups for young parents, and activity groups ranging from crafts and cookery to youth clubs and movie nights.
A message from our Youth Panel:
“Roots is our home from home. It's a place where we can share personal experiences and always be supported. Building good relationships with staff and other young people is essential to us. We need someone who is honest, responsible, and appreciates that Roots is like our family.”
