Senior Research Officer (x2) – Financial Sector Research

ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

We are looking for two Senior Research Officers to join our growing Financial Sector Research (FSR) team. Our team works towards holding financial institutions accountable for their impacts on people and planet by (1) researching the sector’s current performance and publishing annual rankings and analysis (2) publishing sector guidance briefings detailing leading industry practice (3) engaging with each surveyed institution and providing them with detailed recommendations for improvement.

The new Senior Research Officers will contribute to this research, collecting information from institutions and databases, analysing quantitative and qualitative data, and translating this analysis into actionable steps for institutions to take.

Key responsibilities:

• Support the team to deliver its rankings by conducting quantitative and qualitative research, supporting with the development of the ranking framework, data collection and auditing, analysis and report writing
• Contact and maintain relationships with financial institutions to invite them to participate in our research and respond to any queries about the research process
• Assist with post-survey engagement by aiding the development of personalised feedback sheets for institutions, generalised recommendations and leading practice examples, and follow-up meetings with institutions where necessary
• Conduct exploratory research covering topic areas or sets of financial institutions which may be new to the team
• Support the FSS team by contributing information for fundraising bids and reports
• Contribute to responses representing ShareAction’s views on responsible investment-related topics to a range of consultations by policymakers, regulators, industry initiatives and other civil society organisations
• Take the initiative in identifying personal development opportunities
• Organise, participate and take notes in follow-up meetings with financial institutions

One of the two roles we are recruiting will have a greater focus on the surveys themselves, while the other will have a greater focus on the development of leading practice reports once the main survey analysis has concluded. However, we expect there to be a good degree of overlap between both roles.

Please note that this list isn’t exhaustive, and responsibilities may be adjusted from time to time depending on the needs of the team/project.

Requirements

We are looking for passionate, determined individuals, with the following experience and skills:

ESSENTIAL

• Any kind of experience working with the finance industry, in corporate campaigning, or in research
• An understanding of responsible investment and its implications for different types of financial institutions
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and proven ability to conduct qualitative and quantitative research
• Strong communication skills in written and spoken English
• Excellent organisational skills, proven ability to manage competing demands while still meeting deadlines
• Familiarity with Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint
• Strong teamwork skills and ability to work collaboratively
• A passion ShareAction’s vision and mission

DESIRABLE

• Subject matter knowledge in climate change, biodiversity or human/labour rights
• Advanced Excel skills
• Any programming experience
• Experience of managing relationships with external stakeholders
• Experience of working with Microsoft Office 365, particularly SharePoint
• Experience of working with CRM systems, ideally Salesforce

As the dedicated charity for one of the country’s largest NHS trusts, we manage a growing community of volunteers across five hospitals in north west London. Over the last five years we have developed a dynamic volunteering programme to help our hospitals while creating a rewarding experience for every volunteer who generously devotes their time to support our cause.

Right now we’re embarking on an exciting new journey as we adapt to changes in the way healthcare is provided across the country. At this crucial moment, we’re looking for talented and focused people to join our volunteering team.

• Volunteering Manager for Hammersmith and Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea hospitals

• Volunteering Manager for St Mary’s and the Western Eye hospitals 

• Volunteering Officer for Charing Cross Hospital

We’re looking for people who have the passion and commitment to work in an exciting and fast-paced healthcare environment, with the skills to juggle lots of complex tasks and the personal qualities to be great ‘people’ people – the ability to build relationships, influence others to embrace change and cope with the day-to-day challenges of working within the NHS. 

It’s important to us that our people have the right skills and experience, combined with a strong work ethic and personal drive, to ensure we succeed as a team. However, we’re also committed to learning and development – so if you’re passionate about one of our roles and you don’t have all the knowledge and experience, we would still love to hear from you. Depending on the nature of the job, we will provide learning and knowledge-building experiences within your first six months to enable you to develop your skills in the role.

Do you have a good understanding of Manchester based services and community assets and experience of working in frontline services, ideally supporting people with multiple and complex needs or facing multiple disadvantages? Then join Shelter as an Engagement Worker – Changing Futures and you could soon be playing a vital role on the front line of a truly innovative programme.

About Shelter
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that 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 people decisions, we take pride in being 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.

About the team

The Changing Futures programme is a £64 million joint initiative by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and The National Lottery Community Fund. The fund is for local organisations to work in partnership to better support those who experience multiple disadvantages, including homelessness, substance misuse, mental health  issues, domestic abuse, and contact with the criminal justice system.  We are working together as Changing Futures in Greater Manchester to improve the way that local systems and services work for adults experiencing multiple disadvantages. Bringing partners together from across Greater Manchester, we will use our learning to influence wider systems change, both locally and nationally. We’ll also support the initiative to provide early help support for adults facing multiple disadvantages via the ‘Bringing Services Together for People in Places’ scheme across four neighbourhoods in Manchester.

About the Role

This challenging role is all about helping disadvantaged individuals to access the support they need to live a healthy, safe, and fulfilling life. One of a team of engagement workers based in various community locations across the City who will hold their own caseload, you’ll be fully supported by a Team Leader that will line manage you. You’ll also get to contribute to the development of the programme and Shelter’s wider community priorities and work with internal colleagues to deliver our strategy. Fostering a culture of encouragement and peer support across the team and co-ordinating interventions provided by other agencies will be important aspects of the role. So too will developing, maintaining and coordinating effective working relationships with external agencies. And, when it comes to Identifying best practice and using learnings from the programme to inform other local service provision and create systems change, again, we’ll count on you to deliver.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you

To succeed, you’ll need an appreciation of the barriers and personal difficulties faced by people accessing local services and an understanding of the wider challenges experienced by people with complex needs who have suffered trauma. You’ll also need experience of  representing an organisation on external steering groups, panels or forums, working with volunteers and promoting co-production in decision making. As comfortable managing multi-stakeholder relationships as you are working with autonomy in a community setting, you’re proactive and have great relationship building skills and the confidence to challenge the status quo. What’s more, you’re forward thinking and flexible and welcome the introduction of new ideas, methods, and processes. You’re also proficient using a range of IT tools, including case management systems and Microsoft Office applications.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
