Program Overview

Agriculture accounts for about a quarter of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and is the number one cause of deforestation. Shifting diets from meat, especially beef and lamb, towards more plants is a major lever in tackling these challenges. However, meat consumption continues to grow throughout much of the world. WRI seeks to change that. An early mover in this agenda, WRI has established two world-class initiatives focused on dietary change.

The first, the Better Buying Lab, brings together behavioural scientists with businesses and academics to develop cutting-edge research into how consumers can be nudged towards more sustainable food choices. The Lab’s research agenda stretches from the United States to Europe, and from China to Brazil.

To then scale impact, our Cool Food initiative works with the companies to make changes that encourage consumers to choose more sustainable, plant-rich options. Established in 2018, Cool Food consists of two elements: (i) the Cool Food Pledge, which works with 60 organizations that serve over 1 billion meals a year to cut the emissions of the food they serve, and (ii) Cool Food Meals, a consumer-facing label that influences more than 600 million meals a year.

Cool Food has been covered extensively in the media, won a series of awards, and collaborates with major multinational companies such as IKEA, Hilton, and Nestlé. Within the next few years we will expand the geographic reach of the initiative and radically scale the number of meals that are under its influence.

About Refugee Action

Refugee Action exists to help refugees and people seeking asylum who’ve survived some of the world’s worst regimes. After fleeing unimaginable horrors, they find themselves in a continued crisis in the UK, often homeless, living in poverty and unable to work. We provide these highly vulnerable, traumatised people with the support they need to live again with dignity. Then we help them build safe, happy and productive lives in the UK. Our vision is that refugees and people seeking asylum will be welcome in the UK. They will get justice, live free of poverty and be able to successfully rebuild their lives.

Our vision for a welcoming UK has never been more important. Last year almost 80 million people were displaced, the biggest refugee crisis since WWII. Add to this the most hostile Government we have ever faced, now’s the time to stand up for the rights of refugees.

It is a crucial time to be part of Refugee Action as we come to the end of our current strategy (2019-22) and embark on our next strategic period. We will do this through securing systemic change through our campaigns to change government policies, our direct services, and our work to strengthen and connect other service delivery organisations. You can read more about what we do here.

We will also continue with our commitment in our strategy to do far more to learn from and shift power to refugees and people seeking asylum. We are also striving to be an actively anti-racist organisation. Both commitments are a top priority for our new CEO as set out in his first public statement on Twitter here.

About the role

Never has there been a more important time to stand up for refugees in Britain and the current grant funding environment reflects this. Refugee Action has developed a range of strong, high value partnerships with funders like Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Comic Relief, as well as several significant National Lottery projects. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and enthusiastic Business Development Manager to join our grants team.

Resuscitation Council UK is looking for its first Insight and Market Research Manager. The introduction of this role shows the value and importance we put on insight.

The Insight and Market Research Manager will be responsible for ensuring that insight sits at the heart of Resuscitation Council UK’s decision making, product development and public facing activities.

Whether we are developing new courses for health and social care professionals, encouraging members of the public to learn CPR or educating professionals and people about the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT) process, it’s important we understand our customers’ needs and people’s motivators and barriers, when developing our products, services and campaigns.

It’s also crucial that we have a good understanding of what motivates the thousands of instructors we rely on to deliver RCUK-accredited resuscitation courses across the UK, how we can strengthen our relationship with them and ensure we achieve increased diversity among our instructor base. 

As it’s vitally important that our products and public facing activities resonate with professionals and wider Society as a whole, we’re looking for someone who will champion insight, and our work being representative and inclusive.
