Job Vacancy: Service Manager
THIS JOB VACANCY IS NOW CLOSED
Fancy joining our small and vibrant team at a time when our service is more important than ever? We are looking for a Service Manager with passion and creativity, able to lead and constantly adapt as we support people’s mental health in this Covid-era.
Your main responsibility as a Service Manager will be to ensure our peer support groups (both online and soon-to-open physical groups) and our phone befriending service operate effectively and smoothly; you will supervise volunteers and staff; promote the service; network; and organise/deliver training and drive the service forward. You can expect a good amount of admin and ad hoc tasks, therefore you will need strong skills to prioritise, organise your workload effectively and delegate when needed.
You will be working in a job-share (22.5 hours per week) ideally Mon-Weds. It will require some flexibility and out-of-hours working as well as working in a face-to-face capacity.
About Changes Bristol mental health charity
Changes Bristol is a mental health charity that provides a service to those suffering mental distress in greater Bristol. Our core service provides peer support meetings that run every week that are open access with no referral necessary, and where the support is there for as long as people need it. We also run a new befriending service for those unable to access the technical requirements for our online support groups.
We’re a small vibrant team, and we consider our service to be essential to the population of Bristol and wish to maintain, improve and expand our service in the coming years.
