CHARITY PEOPLE: Regional Support Manager (Yorkshire)

We’re delighted to be partnering with a national agricultural institute to help find a new Regional Support Manager – Yorkshire. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established collaborative team and use your excellent relationship building and people skills to help support farming communities across Yorkshire.

Job Title: Regional Support Manager – Yorkshire (South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and southern area of North Yorkshire)

Salary: £30,160 + £2,500 car allowance and excellent benefits

Reports to: Service Delivery Manager

Location: Home-based in patch with regular travel across Yorkshire

Hours: 35 Hours

Contract Type: Fixed Term 18 month contract with opportunity to go permanent

For over 160 years, the institute we’re partnering with has worked at the heart of the farming community, providing guidance, financial support, and practical care to farming people of all ages across England and Yorkshire. Farming people face an enormous range of challenges, including unprecedented generational changes to farming policy. The Charity has a crucial role to play now and into this uncertain future to support the well-being of this vital community. At the heart of this role is people, so you’ll need an ability to empathise with and understand the issues facing farming communities, but it isn’t essential to have prior personal experience.

As Regional Support Manager, you will work as part of a team that provide high quality services to farming people that come to the Charity for support. You will provide information and support, ensuring the farming community across South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, East Yorkshire and the southern area of North Yorkshire receive the most appropriate source of support based on their individual circumstances. You will be empathetic and professional, flexible, resilient and solution focussed.

You’ll be working directly with the farming community across your patch with a full needs assessment. This is a role that requires someone who is collaborative and constructive, as you will be working with other agencies and service providers who can offer additional support options, along with liaising with partners, ensuring that agreed actions are followed up. This role would really suit someone from a service delivery background or someone who has worked in social care, or within roles/organisations which provide advice and support.

You will need the ability to build a practical holistic plan for those you are supporting. You’ll adapt your empathetic approach to different circumstances and personalities with sensitivity and integrity. You’ll also need to have experience providing services to vulnerable service users, listening and supporting in a non-judgemental way.

In return you’ll get all the training and development you need to excel in the role, fantastic opportunities for progression and be part of a dedicated and fun team that work collaboratively and supportively together.
