Operation Jobs
Endometriosis UK Support Services are a lifeline for those affected by endometriosis who have nowhere else to turn while they wait for a diagnosis, treatment, and care. We run a successful helpline delivered by volunteers with lived experience of endometriosis, who understand the challenges of living with the disease. Our volunteers provide vital emotional and practical support to those affected by endometriosis.
We have experienced an increasing demand for our services, with a 1230% increase in calls to our Helpline between 2020-2023. The pandemic has left a legacy of delays accessing endometriosis surgery, treatment, and care. Waiting lists across the country are now 60% longer than prepandemic levels. Even with a diagnosis, support can be difficult to access. 72% of those with endometriosis were not given any written information when diagnosed, and 81% report endometriosis has negatively impacted their mental health.
Thanks to the generous support of the community, we are now in the position to expand our support services to include a new specialist support line. The new nurse-led support line recognises the growing need for specialist advice and information offered endometriosis community.
We are looking for an endometriosis clinical nurse specialist to lead on this service, delivering phone and email support for those affected by endometriosis. Working closely with the Head of Support and Information and Specialist Advisor, the Support Line Manager will contribute to the set-up, launch and delivery of this service. This will include recruiting two helpline advisors and designing methods of monitoring and evaluation.
We would accept a job share ensuring the partnership covered 5 days a week, 8.5 hours a day.
Location: Remote or Office-based (London Bridge) or Hybrid (2 days working from home).
Closing date for applications: 1pm Friday 9th August
Interview dates: Will take place around Tuesday 27th August (Exact dates to be confirmed).

About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future.

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
Located in Portobello, this is a busy shop in a brilliant location, with a vibrant community! As Shop Manager, you'll be leading the volunteer team, as well as focusing on further recruitment to grow our volunteer team and building strong connections within the local community to ensure the shop's continued success.
About You

You'll bring:
- Proven experience leading and motivating teams, ideally having managed volunteers, or a retail team previously
- A strong understanding of what good looks like in a busy and successful community-led shop, ideally with some experience within Retail or a clear passion for sustainable fashion and knowledge of products and trends
- A can-do attitude and ability to approach challenges in a positive way, knowing when to reach out for support and guidance where you need it.
Previous charity retail experience is ideal, but not essential. If you have transferable leadership skills or experience managing volunteers in other settings and are looking for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
Ways of Working: On-site – this role will be based in the Portobello shop. We're looking for someone able to work 5 days (35 hours) per week to include some weekend working.

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.
