The Organisation - Why we are exciting: Save the Children UK believes that every child deserves a future. Whether in the UK or across the globe, we work tirelessly to provide children with a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm. In times of crisis, we are among the first to respond and remain dedicated until the last child is safe. We prioritise meeting children's unique needs and amplifying their voices, delivering lasting results for millions, including those hardest to reach.

The Role - What the role entails: In this role, you will work within the Smallshaw-Hurst Children's Community (SSH CC), engaging with families, children, and local stakeholders to ensure impactful outcomes. This position is community-based in Tameside with the flexibility to work from home at other times. Therefore, a strong knowledge of and proximity to the Greater Manchester area is essential.

A sound understanding of the impact of poverty on families and the systemic barriers communities face. A commitment to SCUK & SSH CC vision, mission, and values.

Benefits - If any benefits are mentioned: Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance. We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work. We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.
