Hi Thanks for asking about our role of Collections & Delivery Van Driver. We are a dynamic and professional group of people working to create a fairer society through helping to improve the lives of people suffering homelessness and preventing people from becoming homeless and we’re always looking forward to welcoming new, like-minded, people into our team. This role helps the team to collect, sell and deliver pre-loved furniture. Our furniture stores cover 10,000ft2 and have a huge selection of household furniture and electricals – we offer a unique selection of high quality and affordable items with new stock every single day. The proceeds from selling the furniture help towards ending homelessness. This is an important time for us as we meet the many challenges in the sector and in the whole of society and we are always looking for ways to stay ahead of the field and to achieve more for the people that rely on our services. To find out more about our work, go to www.wearetrinity.org.uk If you want an exciting challenge with an aspiring organisation then please write to us and tell us about yourself and why you want to work with us and please include your current CV. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Steve Hedley CEO – Creating Exciting Opportunities Why work for us? Trinity is all about creating a fairer society through ending homelessness. Homelessness in Britain is the result of treating housing as a commodity rather than a human right. It is rooted in privilege, wealth and power and policies that are inconsistent with human rights – neglecting or failing to respond adequately to the needs of the most disadvantaged in response to crises or economic developments. The response should be clear: we must commit to ending homelessness. This would, in fact, be in line with the global target to ensure adequate housing for all by 2030, which was committed to in the UN’s sustainable development goals. Why work for us…? Because we believe deeply in justice and we are a community of committed people who want to make our lives count in leaving a legacy that makes the world a better place. We have deeply held values and ethics and a high degree of self-directed performance. We have a positive coaching culture and we are solution focussed. There is a genuine and deeply felt commitment to continuous improvement and an aspirational approach to the future and we will not stop until everyone has a home…or at least a bed for the night. Other reasons: Great people We currently have a team of 50+ gifted, friendly, funny people and in this year’s staff survey scored Trinity 9/10 as a place to work! Flexible working Some roles dictate that you’ve got to be somewhere at a certain time. Outside of this we value autonomy and flexibility and we trust our people to manage their own time. Above average local pay Pension Good annual leave Maternity and paternity leave We look after you when you’re sick or need time off Self-directed learning A day off for your birthday And an all-expenses paid holiday (Okay… no free holiday) “This is one of the happiest places I’ve ever worked. I look forward to coming in the mornings.” What we do Trinity Homeless Projects (Trinity) is a registered Charity working in West London and Slough to end homelessness. Hillingdon is one of London’s largest Boroughs and we are the largest provider of Supported Accommodation in the Borough. We currently have over 50 properties housing over 300 people. We employ full-time trained Coaches who offer between one and four hours coaching per resident per week depending on need and risk. Resident’s needs and risks are reviewed by the Team every week. Coaches are trained NLP Practitioners and receive monthly individual and team coaching. We map our progress through a Strengths Chart that focuses on assets not deficits and this year our ex-resident survey showed that 86% of people that move on from our Supported Housing are still securely housed after 12 months, making Trinity a long-term solution to homelessness. We run a Reconnection Service for people sleeping rough at Heathrow and our Day Service (SHOC) in Slough work with about 100 people every week. We are also family coaches and help families from UK, Afghanistan and Ukraine. We have two large furniture recycling stores that deliver employment training and saves over 2,300 tons of C02 every year and we provide training and education to over 150 businesses, schools and colleges in an effort to prevent homelessness and rough sleeping. We have a strategy with mapped pathways that can provide a local system where no one need to suffer homelessness again. “Trinity is amazing, they have taught me how to be positive and how to stay strong and focussed on my life” Our Pathway Everyone has the right to a home…or at least a bed for the night “Without Trinity I don’t know where I would be, it’s made me see life again” Life exp...

Registered Office: Bateman Street Cambridge CB2 1LY – No. 184031 England Registered Charity No. 290180 Welcome from the Head Thank you for showing interest in this role at St Mary’s School, Cambridge. We are an independent day and boarding school for girls aged 3 to 18. We have a school roll of around 520 students. Approximately 15% of the students are boarders. Reflecting the cosmopolitan community of Cambridge, on average 25% of students originate from overseas, from around 30 countries. The School offers a secure and welcoming learning environment for girls: we are delightfully situated in the heart of the academically renowned and culturally vibrant city of Cambridge. The Junior School is adjacent to the famous backdrop of Coe Fen, and the Senior School and Boarding House overlook the University of Cambridge Botanic Gardens. Cambridge is an outstanding place to live and work. As a university city, Cambridge has the cultural advantages of a much larger settlement but with a population of approximately 145,000, it is a safe, clean and attractive location. The city has an international reputation owing to its world ranking university and the school benefits from its proximity to the digital and enterprise communities in the various high-tech science parks and enterprise hubs. We are within easy travelling distance of London, less than an hour by train and a short hop from London Stansted Airport. There has been major investment in new facilities at the School over the past decade: a new Junior School; a new Sixth Form Centre; new provision of Art & Photography; the creation of our Science Hub; and our new boarding facility, Mary Ward House. We have developed our sporting facilities through an ambitious collaboration with Homerton College, University of Cambridge and have invested in a new boat house in a joint partnership with City of Cambridge Rowing Club and Homerton College. We are proud to have opened our Mary Ward Educational Suite in which provides state of the art teaching spaces. High quality facilities are only as good as the people who work in them, so we invest heavily in our staff, who we know are our greatest asset. We encourage staff to develop themselves through training and facilitate bespoke CPD opportunities for all. St Mary’s School promotes equal opportunity for all staff and pupils and is committed to its culture of diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. Above all, St Mary’s School, Cambridge is a very happy place. We have an excellent local reputation for being very friendly and nurturing, and yet ambitious, for the young women in our care, enabling strong progress to next steps at university, the world of work or a gap year. Our girls are genuinely delightful, the teachers and support staff are exceptionally dedicated; we are a very close-knit, loving, joyful and purposeful community. St Mary’s really is a warm and welcoming environment for all staff, whatever their role, and we look forward to receiving your application. Hannah Helliar St Mary’s School, Candidate Pack V1.1 (Jan 24) Page 2 of 10 The St Mary’s Approach We are proud to be a Christian school in the Catholic tradition and founded on the principles of our 17th century foundress, Mary Ward, our vision is that ‘By God’s grace, women in time will do much’ (Mary Ward 1585-1645). The challenge for women is not over, and whilst there are now more opportunities for 'women to do much' there are still considerable barriers and so our work continues via our mission to develop curious, creative and compassionate young women with the aspiration, confidence and integrity to shape a better world for the common good. Our approach is based on the core values of Freedom, Joy, Justice, Love and Truth and we live these values in school through our HEART habits of H – Hard work E – Empathy A – Adaptability R – Responsibility T – Thoughtfulness We show perseverance and sustain focus. We are kind, joyful, generous, value friendship and celebrate diversity. We adjust to difficult situations, are open minded, discerning and take calculated risks. We act justly and strive to uphold truth and lead by example. We are creative, reflective, attentive, show gratitude, hear others and disagree well. Our unique approach to education fosters a love of life and of learning, while growing the academic curiosity and spiritual wellbeing of each individual girl so that they can look beyond themselves and enter adulthood aspiring to be more and to give more, not just to have more. We warmly welcome girls, and staff, of all Christian denominatio...
