Adult Training Development Officer Jobs in Central London, Greater London
We are SafeLives, the UK-wide charity dedicated to ending domestic abuse, for everyone and for good.
Last year alone, 14,000 professionals received our training. Over 80,000 adults at risk of serious harm or murder and more than 100,000 children received support through dedicated multi-agency support designed by us and delivered with partners. In the last six years, over 4,000 perpetrators have been challenged and supported to change by interventions we created with partners, and that’s just the start.
Together we can end domestic abuse. Forever. For everyone.
The Drive Partnership, formed by Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance, is working to transform the national response to perpetrators of domestic abuse. We seek to change the domestic abuse narrative that asks ‘why doesn’t she leave?’ to ask ‘why doesn’t he stop?’At the same time as delivering interventions, we are working across the domestic abuse specialist sector, public sector partners and beyond to develop sustainable, national systems that respond effectively to perpetrators of domestic abuse.
Our vision is that one day there will be a national approach which sees agencies in all PCC and local authority areas across England and Wales working together with a focus on those who cause harm, the perpetrators, to disrupt abuse and change behaviour.
Our influencing work is changing the UK conversation about domestic abuse, with both national and locally-based elected representatives and the officials and colleagues who work alongside them. Our PPAC Officer, reporting to the PPAC Manager, will be crucial in helping us to develop our engagement, as well as deepen our policy-influencing capacity to support our roll-out of ground-breaking interventions to end domestic abuse and ensure support for the whole family to keep people safe sooner.
You will be joining the organisation at a pivotal moment. The Victims and Prisoners Bill will be making its way through its final stages in Parliament and a General Election is likely to take place in 2024, providing an unmissable opportunity to ensure that SafeLives’ priorities for improving the response to domestic abuse are taken forward by the next Government.
Location: London office and/or remote working, with regular meetings in London and occasional travel to other locations around the UK, including our Bristol office.

Join the friendly Carers’ Hub team and make a vital difference to the lives of unpaid carers in Lambeth.
We are looking for two Hospital Carers' Leads to join our new service supporting unpaid carers while the person they look after is in hospital or is discharged from hospital. We know that this can be a worrying and stressful time and that too often carers do not know where to turn to for information and support. Help us make sure that carers get the help and support they need, at this critical time.
You will play a pivotal role in developing and delivering a brand new offer for carers which seeks to increase the identification of carers within local hospitals, improve carer support during their cared for hospital stay and following their discharge from hospital.

-
Supporting unpaid carers while the person they care for is in hospital via signposting to relevant support and information about their rights.
-
Working collaboratively with partners within the hospital, to raise awareness of carers and increase identification.
If you are a passionate individual looking for a fast paced, rewarding role that will make a real difference to carers, we would love to hear from you.
About us
Carers’ Hub plays a vital role in Lambeth, supporting the many unpaid carers across the borough. Our work stems from the fact that carers often go about their roles despite the toll it might take on their own wellbeing, often having to make sacrifices that hamper their own ability to lead a normal life. Whether financial, educational or otherwise, we seek to limit the challenges that carers face. We achieve this through four core workstreams:
-
raising awareness of carers,
-
influencing local policy through community engagement activities,
-
improving carer wellbeing and
-
connecting carers to each other and to support and training opportunities through our services.

ALT trains volunteers to offer personalised, one-to-one support in reading skills. We partner with adult education providers in some of London’s most deprived areas to offer our services to those who could benefit most from our support. Our approach is learner-led and focuses on helping adult learners to feel supported, empowered and confident in their literacy development.

· You’ll liaise with learners directly to confirm their availability and individual needs, tailoring your communication as required
· You’ll offer advice and best practice support to volunteers. You’ll review volunteers’ sessions reports regularly, and observe their sessions where needed
· You’ll work with the Volunteer Manager to run volunteer drop-in sessions and social events
· You’ll work with the Volunteer Manager to develop and expand the programme, being alert to volunteer and learner feedback and growth opportunities
This role is for you if:
· You have a genuine passion for literacy, and want to help break the cycle of poor literacy

· You are warm, approachable, and eager to support volunteers and adult learners alike

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and influential individual with experience of developing training and learning packages on technical subjects ideally within the humanitarian/international development sector to join us as our Crisis Financing Training & Capacity Development Advisor where you will develop and expand an innovative package of trainings and learning for the Start Network covering the portfolio of topics and programmes under the organisations New Forms of Financing including Crisis Anticipation and Risk Financing.
About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
Save the Children has an ambitious strategy to ensure that, by 2030, all children survive, lean and are protected from all forms of violence. The humanitarian department supports both the strengthening of our organisation's humanitarian capability as well as acknowledging the need to also support change within the humanitarian system in order to address the increasing frequency and severity of emergencies world-wide. The department is committed to build a stringer workplace culture, prioritising the wellbeing and resilience of those within it.
Start Network is made up of more than 50 aid agencies across five continents, ranging from large international to national NGOs. Together, our aim is to transform humanitarian action through innovation, fast funding, early action, and localisation.
We're tackling what we believe are the biggest systemic problems that the sector faces. Problems including slow and reactive funding, centralised decision-making, and an aversion to change mean that people affected by crises around the world do not receive the best help fast enough, and needless suffering results. Our work focuses on three areas to change the system; localisation, new forms of financing and collective innovation.

- Strengthen the training and facilitation skills of Start Network team
- Develop a learning pathway with the technical leads to ensure different stakeholders can access the training necessary for their role
- Investigate and utilise cutting edge and interactive learning and training approaches, building partnerships and relationships with providers of such services.
- Review and develop adaptable learning materials with multi language application requirements and cultural contexts as needed.
- Work with academic partners to see how higher levels of training and learning could achieve levels of accreditation for member participants.
- Lead on coordinating and monitoring capacity development with the above-mentioned cadre of trainers from the Start team and across the Start Network membership, supporting the cadre to deliver high quality trainings as well as delivering in-person trainings directly and ensuring that materials and approaches are adapted to context.
- Build in monitoring, evaluation and accountability systems. Feed learning back into the development of training, and into the wider Start Financing programme delivery.
- Work with Start Programmes team (i.e. CARF and Start Funds) to understand their work and the subject areas to develop the training package.
About you
To be successful, it is important that you have:
- Experienced as a confident and engaging trainer, facilitator and communicator with excellent networking and relationship-building skills and with proven ability to cater to diverse stakeholders i.e. grassroot, regional and international organisations.

- We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
- We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. You can read more about our benefits here

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
