About the role

In particular the team will be supporting and building capacity of the field offices and projects to use the latest good practice to design new programmes, have clear process and impact monitoring, and have evaluations and reviews which help projects and countries listen, learn and adapt. Gender equity is key to see impact benefitting women as well as communities as a whole. Therefore, the role involves helping all Practical Action teams to understand gender transformation and apply our Gender Policy. It also involves ensuring that gender is strongly integrated into all aspects of programming.

The Impact and Gender Advisor will play two roles. As an Impact Advisor they will be responsible for engaging and building capacity of selected Regional and Country Offices, providing support through all aspects of the programming cycle. Although all the Impact Advisors in the team will include gender in their work, the second aspect of the role as global Gender Advisor, will involve taking the lead to run the Global Gender Group, run trainings on gender and promote cross-country learnings of how to embed gender transformation.

The Advisor will be part of the Impact and Learning team and report to the Head of that team. Critical to the success of the role will be the ability to be engage with a wide variety of staff across Practical Action at all levels as well as to provide practical capacity building to help staff apply good practice and learnings. Travel to Practical Action country programmes will be required in this role. The role offers an amazing opportunity for someone interested in impact and programme quality as well as gender and someone who likes to work as part of a small team but with wide-reaching connections and impact.

About you

You are confident, well organised, enthusiastic and like working as part of a team.

You enjoy building relationships and communicating with a wide range of people, whether that is in writing or verbally. You are confident working with a range of different people, including staff and partners from different Practical Action country offices.

You will have strong experience and understanding of programme quality as well as gender and be skilled in building capacity in adaptive and creative ways. At times, you may also be required to represent Practical Action externally.

Why join us?

The opportunity to work for an organisation that is making a positive difference to the lives of people worldwide, a friendly and supportive culture, working with values driven and highly engaged colleagues, work life balance and flexible working – these are just some of the reasons we think Practical Action is a great place to work.

This is a global role, and therefore for this role has the possibility of being based in any of the countries where Practical Action operates and has an employing entity. This role is however being advertised in the UK, Nepal and Kenya.

The potholder will be required to have the relevant Right to Work for the country which they are applying and the terms of conditions of employment will be in accordance with that country.

One in 20 adults in the UK has never learnt to read at all, but it is never too late to learn. Read Easy UK is a volunteer organisation that delivers one-to-one reading coaching to adults aged from 18-88 through a network of affiliated, locally-run volunteer groups.  

With its free, flexible, confidential approach, Read Easy encourages many people who are too embarrassed to join a class to come forward for one-to-one support. Each new reader is provided with their own personal Reading Coach, so that they can learn in private and at their own pace. Learning to read then transforms their lives in many other ways as well, including enabling them to support their children’s and grandchildren’s reading, and so transfers the benefits to the next generation.

There are currently 33 affiliated Read Easy groups across South West, Central and North West England, together involving around a thousand volunteers. Read Easy UK is the registered charity and umbrella organisation, based in north Gloucestershire, which supports this network of volunteer groups. In line with our newly-launched, ten-year strategic plan, we are now working to expand our reach across the whole of England over the next five years

As our London and South East Regional Adviser, you would network and publicise the opportunities Read Easy has to offer, both for volunteers and those who want to improve their reading. Your aim would be to find volunteers to ‘pioneer’ three new groups in your region each year, and then provide them, and our existing groups in the region, with high-quality support to ensure that they provide a consistently high quality experience for everyone they work with.

For this rewarding and dynamic role, you will need to have experience of working with volunteers; strong people management and interpersonal skills; excellent written and verbal communication skills; and the confidence to run meetings and deliver presentations and training. A background in adult literacy would be an advantage but not essential.

This is a part-time role for 15 hours per week, with the possibility of increased hours in the future as the work grows. Please note that this role is home-based, requires flexibility and involves regular travel and occasional evening and weekend working. The successful candidate will have been employed to work with volunteers for at least two years.

Salary: £25,425 per annum plus London weighting. Please note, this is the full time equivalent salary, and the part-time salary will be calculated pro rata. Pension scheme available.

To apply please provide a CV and covering letter. Your covering letter should systematically evidence how you meet each of the criteria and competencies on the person specification for this role in detail, point by point, in the order laid out above, and preferably under appropriate headings. Applications that do not provide this level of detail will not be considered.
The closing date for this post is Sunday 8th November 2020. 

“It’s been a life-changing experience. Last week I read a book to my grandson.
I never read to my children because I couldn’t.”
