- Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

**To be successful in this role you do need some local knowledge and understanding of the local area, Longsight in Manchester.**

**What we offer you**:
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. You can read more about our benefits here.

**Ways of Working**:
Remote First - The majority of our roles can be performed remotely, however you may work from the office as often as you wish. Whilst you will be predominantly working from home, we may at times require you to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter). Note: This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team. This is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.

On-site - There are certain roles that cannot be performed remotely and so your role will be based in an office location and you may occasionally be able to work from home.

**Flexible Working - **We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview**.**

**Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion**:
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspecti
