Thirty years on, we've helped over 92,000 vendors earn £115 million but our vendors still face the myriad of problems associated with poverty and inequality.

Working directly alongside vendors, you will support and empower them to find their own solutions to improve their lifestyle and their opportunities. This will include building networks of support and opportunity within your designated area.

As part of a national team of Vendor Outreach Workers you will also work together to recruit and support volunteers to assist you in your day to day role

You will have experience of motivating complex and diverse client groups to engage with services and support and the ability to assess client needs and support them to address their needs through appropriate assertive relationship management.

You will be confident in working one to one with people from all backgrounds and especially vulnerable people.
