“Shaw Trust promotes team spirit, inclusiveness and it is an organisation where everybody is somebody. I am proud to be part of this great organisation.”

At Shaw Trust we believe everyone has the right to live a decent and dignified life and an opportunity for rewarding work. We are a social purpose organisation challenging inequality and breaking down barriers to enable social mobility.

For us being part of the solution is about creating the conditions for this to happen, advocating and delivering services that make a real difference. Working in partnership not competition, we are part of an eco-system of purpose-led organisations, striving for a fairer, more equal society centred on opportunity for all.

Purpose

referral telephone line, email inbox and website. This will involve triaging referrals and

alongside the Programme Manager and wider delivery teams to support the delivery of
service.


The aim of the service overall is to contribute to the Shaw Trust vision of a society in which
everyone has the opportunity for employment, inclusion and independence.


To stand-out you need to champion and embrace change, balance the empathy of a
charitable heart with a commercial edge, and be willing to learn and collaborate with others.
Your eye for detail and rigorous approach to quality will be crucial in ensuring that the
Programme offers the very best support to its clients.
