Relief Driver
PURPOSE OF THE JOB To continue the work of the SVP primarily in the Day Care Centre in Allenwood, Co Kildare, but also in the Day Care Centres in Newbridge and in Kildare Town, by providing relief cover for these three centres. The purpose of the Relief Driver is to provide professional cover to employed staff members when current drivers are on holidays or on sick leave. This will ensure continuity of service in the transportation of users of the Centre to and from their homes while also assisting volunteers in the delivery of Meals on Wheels on a daily basis. ENVIRONMENT OF THE JOB The SVP is a large, national, voluntary organisation with extensive experience of working with a diverse range of people who experience poverty and exclusion. Through its network of over 12,000 volunteers and 700 staff, it is strongly committed to working for social justice and advocates the creation of a more just and caring society. SVP employs people to support volunteers in a variety of settings including home visitation, Social Housing, Child and Family Services, Retail, Administration and other specialist areas. SVP is committed to ensuring that everyone we encounter, regardless of age, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin has the right to be protected from all forms of harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. All employees are expected to act in accordance with SVP policies on Dignity & Respect and Safeguarding in respect of related Children and Vulnerable adults Safeguarding policies and procedures. The Society is Christian based with a strong sense of Gospel values. The founder of the Society, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, was a devout Catholic and his legacy of spirituality remains a key element for volunteer members of the Society and underpins the conduct of conference meetings. It can often therefore be normal practice within the Society that prayers are said at the beginning and end of Conference meetings or at meetings where members are in attendance as this underpins the ethos of the Society. There is no requirement for staff members to actively participate in the saying of prayers but to respect the ethos of the Society and be aware that this practice may occur. About Allenwood Allenwood Day Care Centre offers a wide range of services for adults and older persons in the Allenwood, Carbury and wider community area. This includes a meals on wheels service, in house meals, transport service and day activity services that take place in the centre.

The post holder is expected to operate with considerable autonomy. The nature of matters referred upwards are those: • Where significant resistance is experienced in the development of good practice and implementation of policy. • Where practice or proposed practice places stakeholders in a position of risk e.g. a child, a vulnerable adult, members, volunteers, the reputation of the Society. • Where decision will have a significant impact on the workload of others CHALLENGES There are a number of challenges in this role, largely determined by the scale, complexity, voluntary nature and high levels of local autonomy with the Society. • Acceptance of the dynamic of a complex, national, membership organisation and an understanding of how this both contributes to and constrains the work. • Influencing others not under direct authority. • A main challenge in this role would be dealing with vulnerable older people with a variety of medical conditions and needs. OTHER INFORMATION In addition to the duties and responsibilities listed above, the job holder may be required from time to time to perform other duties as deemed reasonable and necessary by the employer. The job holder may also be required from time to time to work or attend training/meetings at another location.

Given the nature of our organisation, employees may request or be required, depending on their role and agreement of management, to work in a more flexible manner and occasionally outside of their normal/standard working hours. Certain roles by their nature may have a requirement to work evenings or weekends and may be on a shift pattern (as detailed in the written particulars of employment), others may be required to attend evening or weekend meetings with members or may be subject to annual peaks and troughs in the workload. These are usually normal, expected, and foreseeable work related requirements and staff should ensure that they receive the required breaks and compensatory leave as detailed in the Society’s Time off in Lieu policy.

Membership Support Officer
PURPOSE OF THE JOB Provide a point of contact and support for members within the region, for training, member recruitment and associated processes. The role will encompass a developmental and administrative focus, working primarily with Area Presidents and as necessary, Conference Presidents around capacity building, recruitment & retention, good governance, member development and training, communication and data management. ENVIRONMENT OF THE JOB The SVP is a large, national, voluntary organisation with extensive experience of working with a diverse range of people who experience poverty and exclusion. Through its network of volunteers and 700 staff, it is strongly committed to working for social justice and advocates the creation of a more just and caring society. SVP employs people to support volunteers in a variety of settings including home visitation, Social Housing, Child and Family Services, Retail, Administration and other specialist areas. SVP is committed to ensuring that everyone we encounter, regardless of age, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnic origin has the right to be protected from all forms of harm, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. All employees are expected to act in accordance with SVP policies on Dignity & Respect and Safeguarding in respect of related Children and Vulnerable adults Safeguarding policies and procedures. The Society is Christian based with a strong sense of Gospel values. The founder of the Society, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, was a devout Catholic and his legacy of spirituality remains a key element for volunteer members of the Society and underpins the conduct of conference meetings. It can often therefore be normal practice within the Society that prayers are said at the beginning and end of Conference meetings or at meetings where members are in attendance as this underpins the ethos of the Society. There is no requirement for staff members to actively participate in the saying of prayers but to respect the ethos of the Society and be aware that this practice may occur. GUIDANCE AND AUTHORITY The job holder will report directly to the Regional Coordinator, who is the line manager. The job holder will liaise and co-operate (dotted line reporting) with the National Member Support Manager at National Office to promote compliance with SVP policies and best practice and to promote a consistent approach nationally in terms of recruitment, member development, training and data protection. Liaise with Regional Coordinator (acting on behalf of the Regional Council) and National Member Support Manager on any changes/dissemination of policies in relation to members. Work with each Area President or the wider membership as required, on an ongoing basis. Promote the recording of visits on CRM and monitor progress/ action plans arising from visits. The Regional Office performs the function of an administrative centre to support the core work of the Regional Council and the National Management Council. The post holder is expected to operate with considerable autonomy. The nature of matters referred upwards are those: • Where significant resistance is experienced in the development of good practice and implementation of policy. • Where practice or proposed practice places stakeholders in a position of risk e.g. a child, a vulnerable adult, members, volunteers, the reputation of the Society. • Where decision will have a significant impact on the workload of others. • Non- compliance of an agreed policy or procedure • Action likely to adversely affect the Society CHALLENGES There are a number of challenges in this role, largely determined by the scale, complexity, voluntary nature and high levels of local autonomy with the Society. This post will be operating in a dynamic and changing environment and has been developed as part of a wider reorganisation of our regions, services and functions. • Acceptance of the dynamic of a complex, national, membership organisation and an understanding of how this both contributes to and constrains the work. • Resilience and persistence in the face of barriers and organisational roadblocks encountered. • Influencing others not under direct authority. • Influencing stakeholders to recognise and to act upon, the need for accelerated change.
