About Theirworld
Theirworld is an influential global charity aiming to end the global education crisis and unleash the potential of the next generation. We work to ensure that every child has the best start in life, a safe place to learn, and skills for the future. To achieve this, we are tackling the lack of political will, financial commitment and action that is currently preventing the realisation of inclusive, quality education for all children. We bring together experience and evidence from our research and projects alongside the passion and power of our campaigns and communications to unlock the big, transformational changes needed to end the global education crisis.

We have existed since 2002, and we are currently going through an exciting period of growth and transformation - assembling a world-class team of campaigners, communicators, researchers, advocates and project managers with the skills, commitment to our mission, and strong team spirit and creative energy to turn the organisation’s vision into reality.

Such a powerful youth movement for education is so critically needed right now to pressure decision-makers to prioritise and fund education at the levels required to end the global education crisis. This investment in 2020 will involve further expanding the size of the network and investing in improved tools and approaches to offer greater training and campaigning opportunities for GYAs. This role will lead on turning that strategic vision into reality – you will be an inspiring leader who understands how to develop and maintain a first-class global youth engagement campaigning program and be able to translate strategic objectives into practical plans and execute those plans effectively.

The Senior Youth Engagement Manager will report to the Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programs and be based in our London office, with occasional domestic and international travel as required.

Main responsibilities:
● Translate the 2020 strategic goal and objectives for the GYA program into clear, realistic project plans and lead on the delivery of those plans and contribute to setting the strategic direction for this program from 2021 onwards.
● Identify and monitor trends and opportunities in youth-led development and campaigning and incorporate these into the program.
● Develop and deliver plans to publicise the GYA network to attract more applications from exciting youth campaigners to further expand the network.

● Develop and deliver interesting and relevant communications with our GYAs (e.g. newsletter, posts in the online community etc.) to help inform and engage the GYAs on key topics related to global education and Theirworld’s advocacy goals.
● Work closely with our communications team to effectively profile and engage GYAs in Theirworld’s external communications.
● Work closely with our Campaigns and Advocacy Managers to create and facilitate opportunities for GYAs to engage in (and create their own) campaign activities (both remote/online and attendance at high-level events such as the UN General Assembly).
● Work closely with the Director of Policy, Advocacy and Programs to create and implement an internal structure for the GYA program to enable simple tiers of engagement to balance the demands of a large network and for opportunities for deeper levels of engagement and impact from some of our GYAs.
● Oversee the effective delivery and maintenance of administrative processes to review GYA applications and GYA databases and line manage the Project Assistant for the GYA team.
● Monitor, flag and support swift and effective responses to any safeguarding issues affecting our GYAs (in close collaboration and under overall guidance of our Safeguarding Lead).
● Additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.

Experience, skills and character
You should have:
● At least 5-7 years’ experience working in youth engagement – ideally related to international development and campaigning.
● Strong passion for ending the global education crisis and knowledge of the different stakeholders and processes involved in this sector.
● Strong track-record of working in public affairs, developing and delivering successful political influencing strategies to achieve results.
● Excellent project and team management skills and ability to contribute to setting a strategic vision and objectives and turning these into reality.

● Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills with good attention to detail, ability work under pressure and to deadlines, and generally to have a high bar for quality in your own work as well as your colleagues.
● A commitment to Theirworld’s aims and a clear understanding of the contribution that campaigning can make to achieve our mission and how it can best link with other parts of the organisation’s work.
● Potential advantage if you have fluency in another language than English, but not a requirement.

Communications Officer, London 

c. £28.5k depending on experience, plus generous benefits 

Medical research has never been more important. 

The wellbeing of billions of people across the world depends on continual medical advances across all areas of health. And this challenge needs immense support, innovation and persistence.

Although scientists have tackled many diseases and conditions that affect human health, there are still areas of medical need that receive little or no support. That’s where we step in. 

Funding research is our sole purpose. As the charitable foundation of the Medical Research Council (MRC), we are inspired by the responsibility and independence that our donated income gives us. We are guided by the wealth of expertise available to us and are bold and ambitious in the science we choose to support. We fund and support the most promising new medical research, wherever we discover great opportunities that are not being pursued.

Our current research priorities are the threat of drug-resistant infections, adolescent mental health and pain research. These are key public health challenges requiring ground-breaking ideas from some of the UK’s leading scientists. 

We are looking for a Communications Officer to join our small but expanding team in our central London offices. 

Reporting to the Senior Communications Manager, you will play a crucial role in telling the story of the Foundation, and that of the ground-breaking research and researchers we support. Your work will inspire potential supporters to help us fund even more cutting-edge medical research, and attract funding applications from emerging research leaders.

Working three days a week for the Foundation, the other two days will be split evenly between two of our linked charities: the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) and the Africa Research Excellence Fund (AREF).

GACD is an alliance of international public funding agencies, which supports research activities intended to improve the prevention and treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like heart disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory problems, cancers and mental health issues. Their work focuses on the needs of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and key vulnerable populations, where 80 per cent of deaths from chronic diseases occur. 

AREF was established by the Medical Research Foundation in 2015, with the mission of improving the quality and impact of health research in Africa - by nurturing African-led research in and for the region. AREF’s vision is to grow a community of African researchers working in Africa, who lead world-class research that benefits patients, populations, policy makers and practitioners.

You will support the delivery and growth of proactive communications programmes across all three organisations, with the shared purpose of building their respective identities, reputations and profiles.

Who you are 

We need the very best people to help deliver our vision of advancing medical research, improving human health and changing people’s lives. We are inspired by our work and we will be looking for this in you too. Our team is proud to work for the Medical Research Foundation. We are ambitious for the Foundation and for ourselves. We are approachable - providing advice to everyone and explaining our work. We are dedicated and committed to achieving the most for our donors and our researchers.And we are involved – constantly looking for new ways to engage and improve.

What you can bring to the role

You will have some experience of communications in a health or science-focused organisation, supporting communications strategies across a range of channels, including traditional and social media. You will also have experience of producing creative communications content for a range of audiences, including translating complex scientific information for non-scientific audiences. 

You are able to communicate clearly with colleagues, scientists and other stakeholders. You work in an organised manner and have the ability to respond flexibly and positively to unexpected changes or demands. You have a strong grasp of digital media, including photoshop, social media management software and Google Analytics. 

Our offer:

• A salary c. £28.5k, dependant on experience.
• Annual pay award, performance award scheme and other rewards.
• Generous pension contribution, with no qualifying period.
• 30 days annual leave each year, plus public holidays.
• 36 hour working week, usually worked over 5 days. 
• Flexi-time system and core working hours of 10am to 4pm.
