Hybrid Helpline Supervisory Practice Manager
Please note that this vacancy involves a hybrid arrangement of home and office working and therefore candidates will need to be within a commutable distance of our Birmingham Helpline office.
About the NSPCC
Our Vision
At the NSPCC, our vision is to end cruelty to all children in the UK. Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it's why our Services team never stop sharing our learning, information, advice and support with everyone who needs it.
It's a unique and ambitious mission - join us as a Helpline Supervisory Practice Manager and create work that means the world.
What We Do
We are a fast-paced national Helpline which provides advice, information and support to members of the public and professionals who wish to access the NSPCC via telephone, email and social media.
Our priority is to empower the public to ensure children and young people are protected from harm. Showing, empathy, sensitivity, and common sense, our dedicated teams provide emotional support and practical guidance to anyone who thinks a child may be at risk – or to those children and young people themselves.
Shifts
The Helpline operates a hybrid-working model, with an option that one in three weeks is worked from home; these will be a mix of day and evening shifts. IT equipment will be provided, but you will need to have an ergonomic workspace at home that will allow you to work confidentially and keep organisational information secure.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The NSPCC Helpline is operational every day and the post holder will be required to work a rota shift pattern that covers the period 7:30am-10pm on weekdays and 8am-7pm on weekends. This also includes working weekends and bank holidays.
