Central London, like many cities across the world, is an exciting and stimulating place. However, for some, it is a place to go when things have gone profoundly wrong and there is nowhere else. When people are on the edge, homeless, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. The Connection is there to be with people as they overcome that isolation, recover and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

However, this is not enough. The experiences of people on the edge matter. Their story must be told to those in a position of power and influence, so that homelessness, exclusion and isolation are not acceptable features of life in the UK.

The Connection at St. Martin’s empowers those who are on the edges of society to take control of their lives by:

• Providing practical support in an active environment designed to help people to recognise their own strengths, recover from crisis and move on;

• Collaborating with others who share our vision and mission not just in London, but other parts of the UK and the world;

• Sharing our learning with others, to deepen our own understanding and create a more socially just society for those on the margins.

We need a Team Coordinator to join the team to provide critical administrative and logistical support across all of DataKind UK’s programmes of work. The post will contribute both capacity and skills to the team at DataKind UK – particularly offering support around managing our volunteer community of data scientists and building the internal operational processes of the organisation.

About DataKind UK

DataKind UK exists to transform the impact of social change organisations - charities, social enterprises, grantmakers, public sector bodies - through data science capacity building, for the benefit of the people of the UK and other parts of the world. We want a future in which these organisations are making full, responsible use of data science to increase their impact. 

Why? We believe social change organisations make a massive difference to our society, particularly the most vulnerable people and communities. Yet most are not making full use of data and data science to fulfil their missions. We believe that to not do this actively reinforces patterns of inequality and disadvantage in the UK and elsewhere. 

Our approach

DataKind UK is a data science capacity builder. That means we work alongside social change organisations to increase their understanding of and confidence in data use and data science. We aren’t a consultancy and we don’t offer ‘black box’ tech solutions. Our aim is for our project partners to come away feeling able to navigate the world of data science without us!

We are a volunteer-driven organisation - all of our projects are staffed by pro-bono data experts from industry. This means our project partners get the most up-to-date skills….for free! This community of passionate data scientists - including statisticians, data engineers, visualisation experts, developers, designers and project managers - have contributed over £3 million in pro bono data services since 2013. 

Our history

Since we were founded in 2012, we have worked to understand the social sector’s needs and how we can harness the power of pro bono data scientists to support the sector. 

We have partnered with charities large and small across a wide range of issue areas, from The Prince’s Trust and Macmillan through to local food banks and hospices. We have run projects with more than 80 social change organisations, and are now, by far, the most experienced provider of charity data science support in the UK. We’ve been held up as an example of best practice by government ministers and were named as one of Fast Company's 10 most innovative nonprofits in 2017.

We are a registered UK charity and are part of the global DataKind network of six chapters.

About the role

We need a Team Coordinator to join the team to provide critical administrative and logistical support across all of DataKind UK’s programmes of work. The post will contribute both capacity and skills to the team at DataKind UK – particularly offering support around managing our volunteer community of data scientists and building the internal operational processes of the organisation.

We are looking for someone who will anticipate need and suggest solutions to logistical challenges, working with the team to ensure the best outcome for our charity partners and other stakeholders. You’ll need to be helpful and enthusiastic in your approach to work, flexible and people oriented.

About us
We are a charity dedicated to ensuring that people most impacted by injustice are leading campaigns that affect their lives, from better housing to fairer treatment of migrants to LGBTQ+ rights. Our mission is to support people to run effective campaigns that challenge injustice. We do this by running campaign training programmes that help people develop the skills, confidence and community to change things that matter to them. In our trainings, we prioritise people from communities directly impacted by injustice.
Participants might be low-income, working-class people, people of colour, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
Our graduates testify before Parliament, organise national demonstrations, change laws and wage important, successful campaigns. They are from diverse and marginalised communities and our evaluation shows that they are developing confidence in their ability to affect change and are making meaningful ‘wins’ towards achieving their aims on a broad range of issues such as; violence in a community, access to public space, fairness in the asylum system, and women’s inclusion and safety in leisure centres.

About the job
We are seeking a Logistics Coordinator who will help us set up and deliver our learning programme for campaigners and trainers. These programmes will be residential, online, community-based and event-based. They will be delivered to individual campaigners, community groups, charitable partner clients. The Logistics Coordinator role is a varied position that gives you an opportunity to work in lots of different ways. Each day is different in this role. One day you could be creating social media materials to recruit new people to our trainings, the next, you could be coordinating venues, catering and transportation for a residential training, or talking to a participant about their access needs and how we can best accommodate them.

Your role is to help ensure that all our participants have a great experience of our learning programmes by recruiting people to our programmes and then making sure that all of their technical, logistical and access needs are met. We are looking for someone who can think creatively about how to best support people (Would it help for people to have a guide explaining how to use Zoom? How can we reach people who have been in the care system to let them know that there is a scholarship available for them to attend our residential?) and someone who has rigorous attention to detail, for example, ensuring that all dietary needs are communicated accurately to the caterer or our complex schedule for processing hundreds of applications to the residential programmes is well coordinated. The tasks you do on any given day may be different, but they are all about making sure participants feel supported, prepared and have what they need to engage with the training. Some work may be outside office hours.

About the team

The successful applicant will join our newly formed Logistics team for programme delivery. Managed by the Logistics and Operations Manager you will be working closely with the different programmes to support participant and trainers needs.

We know there is a huge demand for our work, so are working hard to grow our organisation in a sustainable way. You’ll be a key part of doing that - by helping our colleagues deliver efficient, powerful programmes.
