About Mayday
Mayday is an organisation with a network of passionate social activists working to bring about systemic change, whilst offering people going through tough times such as homelessness, leaving care, coming out of prison or experiencing emotional trauma, person-led and strength-based support through its PTS Response.
The Role
This is an opportunity for someone who understands that in the world today, the problem is not people with 'complex needs' but a broken system. A system that is failing to treat people as people. A system that traps and institutionalises people.
With a keen eye for detail, a natural ability to be organised, you will bring your analytical skills, to not just support the provision of person-led work, but to monitor, analyse and report on a number of contracts through the lens of deep listening, learning and positive challenge.
As a PTS coach manager, you will have a deep understanding of power dynamics and the need to create an environment where coaches have the freedom and autonomy to work to the agenda of the people they walk alongside, and not just to tick the boxes of contracts.
This role is not for the faint hearted, it is for someone with a passion for social justice, and the energy and determination to make systems work for people going through tough times.
Mayday is looking for someone who believes in people; a person who is comfortable supporting coaches who walk alongside someone to identify and overcome barriers, to connect people with a positive community network and friendships, build on their strengths and achieve the future they want.
Applications close: Wednesday 17th November.
An online interactive group session will take place on Monday 22nd November, followed by formal individual interviews on Tuesday 23rd November.
