Our ambition is to use our power to fight for home, because we believe home is everything. We are committed to being an organisation that continually learns and develops, rooted in trust, inclusion, compassion and fearlessness, with equity and a focus on lived experience at the heart of all we do. Whether they are volunteers or employees, the people who work with us must feel enabled, supported and empowered to meet future challenges. The recent establishment of a new Directorate of Equity, Inclusion & Culture demonstrates that the work to embed this future-focused culture is well underway, and we are constructing a comprehensive programme of culture change, intersectionality, inclusion and equity.

As our new Assistant Director of Equity & Inclusion, you’ll make a vital contribution to enabling Shelter to become an organisation where equity, inclusion, lived experience and anti-racism are held at the core of everything we do. Working across three main strands – volunteering, involvement and diversity & inclusion – you’ll support our incoming Director in rolling out strategic programmes, as well as delivering your own portfolio of objectives. Key relationships will include colleagues in Talent Acquisition and HR Delivery, and you must forge strong and collaborative partnerships with the Anti-Racism Steering Group and Affinity Groups. More, you’ll be a visible and inspirational leader for our Volunteering and Involvement teams, shaping strategies and plans that enable best-in-class practice and which truly value lived experience in every domain.

Candidates will have extensive experience of designing and implementing equality, diversity, and inclusion strategies within a complex organisational structure. A nuanced understanding of the role of volunteers within Shelter, and their value, is essential. With a commitment to involvement and lived experience that you’ve already applied in a range of contexts and approaches, you’ll have a rich and appreciative grasp of co-production and its power. Optimistic, pragmatic and with an impressive track record of values-led leadership, you’ll relish the chance to play a vital part in ensuring Shelter is in the best possible shape to achieve our ambitious goals.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home; our enemy is the social injustices at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our hiring decisions we take pride in our aspiration to be inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent. We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation. We particularly welcome candidates from BAME backgrounds and / or other marginalised identities, including those with lived experience of the housing emergency.

Closing date: 16 February 2022.

Closing date Thursday 3 February 2022 at 9:00am

Interview date Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 February 2022

Based: For the first 12-18 months the postholder will need to be based in our office in Jinja Uganda. After this time the postholder can decide where they work from

Our mission is to get preschool children in rural Africa school-ready.  At present over 250 million children worldwide fail to receive the education and care they need in their early years which means they are less likely to do well in school, find gainful employment, and are at greater risk of early marriage, early parenthood and even criminality. Current approaches to solving this crisis are not proving effective or scalable in lower middle income countries.

That’s where Lively Minds comes in. We have developed an award-winning Early Childhood Development programme that has been proven to get pre-schoolers in hard-to-reach communities school-ready, so they have a greater chance of succeeding in school and in life. The programme provides marginalised Mothers with a parenting course that empowers them to run educational Play Schemes for pre-schoolers and to provide better home-based care, using cheap local resources.  The programme is delivered through government partners, is cheap and highly scalable.

Over the past few years the Lively Minds programme has been delivered in over 350 communities in rural Ghana and Uganda reaching over 50,000 children. During COVID we launched a radio programme for parents and this is now reaching over 2 million households each week.  We are extremely proud that the Government of Ghana have now adopted the programme and we have a ground-breaking partnership with them to support them to institutionalise it, fund it and to scale it to 60 education districts, reaching over 4000 communities and 1 million children. We see this partnership as the test case that will provide the blueprint to take the programme to scale in Uganda and elsewhere within the next 5 years, so that we can have a transformative role in tackling the global ECD crisis.

About the role

The postholder will have the exciting role of leading the development and implementation of expansion strategies to capitalise on our global scale and sustainability potential.

• Develop and implement strategies to achieve indirect impact by influencing global ECD approaches and policies, particularly around “parents as the primary ECD providers

Government partnership in Uganda

Our goal is to establish a similar strategic partnership with Government of Uganda as we have in Ghana, so that government are responsible for delivering, funding and institutionalising the programme, with Lively Minds providing an agreed level of technical support. Over the next 18 months the postholder will lead and implement this approach. Key activities include

• Recruit and line manage a government engagement consultant to support national engagement efforts
• Identify who the key decision makers and influencers are, how we reach them and develop the key messages and value proposition and pitches
• Gain meetings with the above decision makers and relevant ECD stakeholders and lobby for partnership
• Coordinate with SMT, Country Director Uganda and  government and funders, to develop key features of the partnership, in particular funding and implementing roles and responsibilities and the technical support package

Raising the global visibility of the organisation, the programme and the methodology

• Propel Lively Minds in to a global ECD thought-leadership position by building Lively Minds’ network, and improving awareness of and recognition of Lively Minds and our approach/curriculum
• Lead on all Lively Minds communications, ensuring our messaging and communication remains on brand inside and outside the organisation.
• Generate high quality marketing  and PR materials (i.e pitch decks, blogs, proposals, reports, web content, social media, videos, photos, presentations, award applications, news/features articles)
• Manage all content and updates to the website and social media platforms ensuring these are consistent with the Lively Minds brand.
• Faciliate and support engagement events (stakeholder and funder visits, disemination events)
• Will keep abreast of political, policy and funding developments opportunities that could help or hinder Lively Minds’ scale and sustainability plans
• Represent Lively Minds where needed to present pitches & presentations and to attend workshops and symposia
• Build relationships with ECD stakeholders (multilateral and bilateral agencies, donors, governments, academics, NGOs and civil society organisations)

About us

The King's Fund is an independent charity working to improve health and care in England. We help to shape policy and practice through research and analysis; develop individuals, teams and organisations; promote understanding of the health and social care system; and bring people together to learn, share knowledge and debate. Our vision is that the best possible health and care is available to all. We have a high profile and strong reputation for influencing health and care policy, providing leadership development and producing excellent communications.

About the role

We are recruiting for 2 Events and Partnerships Officers. One role is permanent and the other is a 12-month fixed term contract maternity cover.

This role will give you an exciting opportunity to work in our busy events and partnerships team within a well-respected health think-tank and charity. You will work with colleagues on planning and delivering a mixture of pay-to-attend conferences (virtual and physical), roundtable discussions, dinners, and free online events. You will also manage the content design and delivery of our joint-badged events with our Corporate Partners and Supporters.

The events and partnerships team has been growing and developing its offer over the past decade. You will be part of an innovative and forward-thinking team as we adapt to the new events landscape in light of the pandemic. You will lead on several events in the schedule; ensuring they run smoothly, keep to strict budgets, are delivered to a very high standard, meet the expectations of colleagues and delegates, and enhance our reputation and public profile. You will also play a key role in shaping the future of our portfolio of in-person, virtual and hybrid events.

To join us, you’ll need a degree (or equivalent) and experience in planning and delivering virtual and in person conferences and other smaller events. With this background, you’ll know how to research and develop event content to create engaging programmes and attract wide audiences. You will have excellent organisational skills and the ability to lead effective logistics arrangements in preparation for and on the day of events. We’ll expect you to work hard to support the team and you will be given responsibility for your own areas of work. You’ll also need to be flexible, diligent, and comfortable being the main point of contact for many people from sponsors to speakers.

The Fund has a set of core values and behaviours that we believe will help us to achieve our own goals and the culture we need to enable our people to work at their best. You will be expected to live up to these in all areas of your work. Clear communication is key, along with good organisation. Professional and efficient, you’ll thrive on ever-changing challenges.

Here at the Fund, we actively encourage applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, those with disabilities and from the LGBT+ community. We want people to bring their unique blend of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives and knowledge as we recognise that diversity makes us stronger.

Our premises in London are open for staff. We are in the process of developing our working patterns in the longer term to incorporate hybrid working which we expect to include some time working from the office each week to better deliver our work and support our colleagues and clients.
