You will be committed to children’s rights, inclusive working, equal opportunities, and believe that all young people can make transformative change happen in their lives if given the opportunity.

Scotland and working within the South-East locality team at an exciting time, when the voices of those who are in or have experienced care are growing in power, individually and collectively - bringing with them insight, challenge, hope and change. Flexibility will be required given the remit of the role. Some evening and weekend work will be necessary, as will a full driving licence and access to transport.

If this sounds like the role for you, we would love to hear from you.

A rare and exciting opportunity to help us to help others

Do you want to make a genuine difference to people’s lives and be part of an enthusiastic, energised, and dynamic team delivering world class support services to people at a time when they are most vulnerable? Can you help us reach greater numbers of people in need and build upon an established foundation to create an enduring legacy? Are you capable of working in emotionally challenging scenarios, delivering support to people suffering the horrendous consequences of road death and serious injury, whilst providing high quality care?

Did you know that every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads? The impact of that on individuals and their wider families is profound and far reaching and it can happen to any of us, at any time.

This is definitely not the average 9 to 5 job, and it is not every day that opportunities like this come along. You could be playing a significant part in our commitment to roll out our clinically developed, trauma informed support services across the country.

Who we are

We are Brake, the national, acclaimed road safety charity which provides the National Road Victim Service (NRVS). We have been supporting victims of the carnage on our roads since 1995. We also campaign for positive change to prevent future collisions and save lives.

Who you are

We are embarking on an exciting period of expansion with the creation of a number of new roles across the country which will involve the face-to-face provision of emotional and practical support to bereaved or seriously injured people. We need energised, self- starters who are passionate about helping others, to join our fantastic team.

We are looking for people who have a background in providing emotional support and practical research and advocacy for vulnerable people after a serious psychological trauma such as the death of a loved one in violent circumstances.

Specifically we are seeking candidates with:

• experience of frontline care for people in crisis with acute vulnerabilities and risks

• research and advocacy skills – you get crucial things done through liaison with external agencies

• significant resilience, and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised

• a full UK driving licence, with access to your own transport and willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses). Employees are subject to driver licence checks. If you drive, please note we do not accept applications from serious traffic offenders due to the nature of our work.

We are interested in receiving applications, not to the exclusion of others, from people with a track record and references relating to backgrounds of working with people who have suffered sudden bereavement or working with people with heightened vulnerabilities.

The greatest reward comes from knowing you have made a real positive difference to someone’s recovery from psychological trauma, and the emotional or practical challenges presented by their sudden bereavement or serious injury.

If you are seeking out a new challenge and think you have the skills, passion, and commitment that we are looking for, we would be interested in hearing from you.

NRVS Regional Manager quote:

“I love my job because we share the same vision and are all committed to supporting people who are experiencing traumatic loss. This creates a warm and energising team spirit where everyone is there for each other. The Charity is constantly evolving, and I feel privileged to be a part of this process. I am trusted to deliver, and I work hard to maintain that level of trust, which ultimately allows me to deliver my very best to the people we support.”

FareShare now operates 21 Regional Centres around the UK. We support 10,542 local charities and groups – our Community Food Members and Associates. Over the past year 55,046 tonnes of food were redistributed by FareShare Regional Centres nationwide, feeding 1,108,064 people every week. We operate across 1,500 towns, cities and villages and we save UK charities and community groups more than £28 million each year.

Hunger is a growing issue in the UK and while there is surplus food that is otherwise going to waste, we believe that this food should be used to feed people first. Demand far outstrips supply. More information can be found on our website fareshare.org.uk/fareshare-centres/glasgow-west-of-scotland.

FareShare Glasgow & the West of Scotland

FareShare Glasgow & The West of Scotland redistributes quality surplus food to groups working with vulnerable people in and around Glasgow and the West of Scotland. We provide employability training including food hygiene, SQA Employability, health and safety, warehouse distribution and forklift and driver training. FareShare Glasgow & The West of Scotland supports hostels, day centres, lunch clubs, addiction agencies, young people’s projects and refugee centres. Serving meals is a way for organisations to directly engage with their service users and using FareShare food enables them to redirect funds into improving their own services.

FareShare Glasgow & The West of Scotland is run by Move On, a charity that believes we all need support at different times in our lives. For too many people a lack of opportunities is a barrier to reaching their full potential. We want to change that.

Our services offer everyone an equal chance to gain experience, skills and confidence, achieve personal goals and reach a brighter future. For one person that could be building the self-confidence to use public transport alone, for someone else it could be earning the qualifications they need to secure their first job.

Every day we support people in their next steps to live an independent and fulfilling life.

Purpose of the role

This role is about so much more than just driving; it’s about sharing the FareShare mission that “no good food should go to waste”. Your work will make sure that quality surplus food is helping feed people in need.

As a FareShare Depot Driver and Operative for FareShare Glasgow you will collect and deliver food from and to our food partners across Glasgow and the West of Scotland, as well as deliver food from our Regional Centre based at South Street, to our charity members within Glasgow and the West. You will be the face of FareShare, being a regular point of contact with our local food partners, as well as our diverse range of member charities receiving food. In addition, you may also act as a host, supervising volunteers who may join you as assistants. You will also form an integral part of the depot team, carrying out duties in line with our FareShare Glasgow operations. You will be expected to receive, sort, pick and distribute surplus food coming through our depot daily.

You will be expected to ensure that food and non-food orders are made and ready for distribution and/or collection.

Move On is seeking to recruit a Depot Development Worker who is keen to learn, committed and imaginative, to work in our FareShare Glasgow & the West of Scotland depot alongside our highly motivated staff and volunteer teams.

The service receives fit for purpose surplus food from the major retailers, manufacturers and growers and distributes it to our Community Food Members, who are mainly charities, community projects etc, working with people affected by food insecurity.

In the last year FareShare Glasgow & the West of Scotland has delivered over 1465 tonnes of surplus food, enough food to offer 3.5 million meal portions to those in need.

Our FareShare Glasgow & the West of Scotland depot is also a training hub, which has, at the heart of everything it does a determination to improve the lives and employability prospects of our trainees, volunteers and service users. We are a user led organisation and pride ourselves in wholeheartedly investing in this essential aspect of the service.
