Moving away from traditionally reactive approaches to charity comms, On Road is improving media coverage of misrepresented groups and issues, from soap storylines to news, by moving senior media professionals on an emotional level about the issue at hand, providing informal yet carefully curated opportunities for them to connect with a diverse group of people who have first hand or relevant experience of the issue.

We run what we call “interactions” which have been developed and refined by our team since 2011 replacing traditional diversity training or campaigning at media professionals which often pushes statistics and facts about a community or issue at time-poor, overloaded journalists in an industry which is undergoing seismic change. Our experience shows that a journalist who has connected on a human level with an issue is much more likely to take it upon themselves to quickly research the topic, and often champion the issue within their organisation.

We are also modeling a much more in-depth and crucial level of support to people with first hand experience of the issues, which we call our “slow communications” methodology. This way of working ensures the people we collaborate with have a trusted network of peers, contacts, training and remuneration to do media work safely, sustainably, proactively and strategically, whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes.

With each project we take on, we work closely with a community over several years, and deliver four key activities: 

1. “Interactions” – informal, facilitated meet-ups between community members and senior media professionals;

2. Bespoke media and strategic communications training course which includes research-based framing and a core focus on self-care;

3. Peer support and additional media skills workshops for people with direct experience engaging with the media; 

4. Mentoring for project participants, often hosting others in the network to lead workshops and share learning within the various projects.

Our vision as a charity is to bring about narrative change and for the media across the UK to give accurate and fair portrayals of social issues and minority groups that are vulnerable to prejudice and misrepresentation.

The Organisation 

Guy's and St Thomas' Charity are one of the UK's largest charitable foundations. For over 500 years we've been based in and focused on improving people's health in Lambeth and Southwark, two vibrant inner-city areas with urban health challenges. 

We work with a range of partners - both within and outside of Lambeth and Southwark - to identify, test and scale new approaches to health and healthcare. We take a programmatic approach, identifying the biggest health issues for people in our communities, understanding what's underneath these issues, and working with others to address them. We collaborate with anyone who has the very best approaches and shares our drive to make them happen. Whenever possible, we fund jointly with others.  Through a combination of fundraising and our own philanthropic support, we also help Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust provide exceptional care and a world-class environment for patients and staff at Guy's, St Thomas' and Evelina Children's Hospital, as well as in community health services across the boroughs. 

The Role

During the next ten years we plan to invest over £150m into a small number of ground-breaking, long-term programmes focused on the major health issues facing urban environments. In 2020, we'll be growing the team to prepare for the launch of our two new programmes on the health effects or air pollution and adolescent mental health.

Portfolio Managers lead the design, development, execution and evaluation of the projects we fund. Your work will be varied, rewarding and will involve interacting with many different stakeholders. You will be supported to pitch and progress ideas through each stage of our investment process and make them a reality in line with our strategy.   

The role is responsible for:

- Building a pipeline of partnerships and projects

- Leading the internal investment process, enabling us to make quality, high impact decisions by presenting funding cases

- Guiding existing projects by problem-solving, advising and managing a portfolio of active investments

The Person:

Are you an impact-focused, self-reliant manager who can juggle a portfolio of projects? Do you think strategically and spot opportunities to tackle big challenges? Can you build cross-sector partnerships to deliver innovative and ambitious projects? Our Portfolio Managers come from a diverse range of professional backgrounds and are assisted by Programme Directors to assemble and lead a portfolio of projects which speaks to their strengths. Because we are a small team, we do not work in silos and Portfolio Managers often work across more than one of our Programmes. So, if you enjoy variety and pace, this job will offer you exposure to a breadth of health issues and to all parts of the organisation.

We prefer to hire people directly, but we do have a preferred supplier list for when we'd like a helping hand. We'll be in touch if we need you.

Are you looking to utilise your experience in financial administration and management to support a small but thriving charity? The Florence Nightingale Museum is looking for a part-time Finance Manager to support our developing charitable business. It's an exciting time to join us as 2020 is not only Nightingale's bicentenary but also the Year of the Nurse and Midwife, meaning we have lots of exciting events and activities planned and are expecting a high number of visitors to our small but busy site.

A strong eye for detail, accuracy, business acumen and experience with SAGE is essential, as are the skills to work independently within a small team in a varied role with genuine responsibility. Experience of administering grant aid, pay roll, VAT and retail income would be advantageous too, but most of all we need someone who is committed to the role and keen to join a developing and growing site.

The position is available for either 15 or 22.5 hours per week, with the days worked flexible to suit the needs of the post-holder and the business. (Hours can be discussed at interview.) Based at St Thomas' Hospital our museum has great transport links and is easy to access from many different parts of London.
