Railway Children

Charity number 1058991

Children run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and nobody to turn to. We work to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can.

Current vacancies

Regional Manager

  • Full time
  • £36,500
  • Hybrid: Glasgow
  • Closing 4th November 2024

We believe in a world where no child ever has to live on the streets.

Looking for a rewarding role where you can make a difference? Do you have the drive to create positive change in children’s lives and inspire others to do the same? If the answer is yes, then read on to hear about this exciting opportunity.

We’re Railway Children, an international charity working to create long-lasting change for street-connected children and young people in the UK, India and Tanzania. Founded in 1996, we’ve dedicated over a quarter of a century to developing outstanding practice and services for vulnerable children and their families. As we embark on our new strategy to 2027, we have ambitious plans to ensure no child is left behind, wherever we work.

We are looking for a Regional Manager (based in the Glasgow area) to come and join our UK Programme Team.

As part of a dynamic team delivering the Safeguarding on Transport (ST) project, you will be responsible for developing our community engagement work across Yorkshire as well as supporting our wider UK programme. The role will require you to engage the public and work closely with British Transport Police, station staff and employees as well as local services in the area. You will support our innovative Safeguarding Action Groups that catalyse communities working in and around stations to combine efforts and resources to keep people safe.

Your engaging manner, strong people skills and experience managing stakeholder relationships will ensure that you are able to help create a safer rail network that is actively seeking to look out for and protect vulnerable young people.

This Glasgow based role will combine a blend of working from home with being out meeting members of the community across Glasgow and the Northwest of England - especially in and around some of the busiest stations.

What we offer

As well as helping some of the world’s most vulnerable children and young people, we offer some great perks:

  • Time out. You’ll start with 25 days holiday per year to recharge the batteries. After three years, this will increase by an extra day per year until you reach a relaxing 30 days leave.
  • Pension. We offer a pension contribution of 6% of annual salary.
  • Birthday leave and ‘Railway Children Day’. You’ll get two additional days of annual leave in your birthday month and around Christmas time.
  • A culture we’re proud of. Driven by our CEO, family values are at the heart of our culture and make Railway Children an incredible place to work.
  • Flexible working environment and home working. It’s one of the reasons why our staff retention is so impressive
