If you have a strong understanding of the impact of the violence, racial inequity and systemic injustice on marginalised communities and are passionate about empowering those most affected to create a change, then we can’t wait to hear from you!

ABOUT US

The 4Front Project is a member-led youth organisation empowering young people and communities to fight for justice, peace and freedom. The organisation was established in 2012 to provide a platform for those who have been impacted by violence to create change. We support members with experiences of violence and the criminal justice system to create change in their own lives, communities and society.

Over the last eight years, we have pioneered an approach that empowers those most directly harmed by violence and the criminal justice system to be at the forefront of a grassroots movement for change. Our holistic model has been designed specifically to support young people aged 13 - 25 with complex needs as a result of multiple systemic disadvantages and disproportionate exposure to serious violence. By advocating for a holistic approach to build peace, we are transforming the way in which society understands how to support young people who have been affected by violence and shaping the agenda around how to tackle the systemic causes of it. 

We acknowledge the impact of racism and discrimination on our members and actively work to dismantle these systems, whilst supporting members to recognise their strengths and identify systemic barriers to their progress. In this way, we support 4Front members to make changes in their own lives, whilst exploring the inequity they’ve experienced and amplifying their voices to create systemic change. Becoming a member means joining a powerful youth-led movement for change that is transforming the way peace and justice are understood by centring healing, rather than punishment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a formidable Campaigns and Communications Coordinator to develop our transformative campaigning work and support young change makers to take the lead. You care deeply about revolutionising society and are personally invested in fighting for justice and equity. You can hold emotion and know how to create safe spaces for people to explore their experiences and build their sense of identity. You have experience working on campaigns that transform policy. You are well networked, already a part of groups that are tackling social justice issues and keen to actively research and network with other organisations that will become our partners and allies. You understand the power of effective communication to change minds and have interesting and unique ideas about how to get a message across. You have worked or volunteered as a mentor and you’re dedicated to tackling social justice issues. You are comfortable with conflict and have experience of managing difficult conversations to successful resolutions. You see courage in vulnerability and believe in building the resilience of young people. Most importantly, you are committed to peace and you fundamentally believe in the potential to change, both at an individual and societal level. You will be a visionary leader, seeing your work at The 4Front Project as a crucial part of your identity and purpose in life. You will be committed to upholding our vision, mission, principles and values at all times. You will be bold, actively contributing to a workplace culture that centres justice, healing, change and hope. You will play a fundamental role in supporting The 4Front Project to change society for the better.

We are looking for someone who is a born organiser.  Good with people, you think on your feet, a problem solver. 

Your first task will be to bring together 30-40 odd organisers of local groups and national networks, and help them gel as a team. Give them the confidence, knowledge and resources to develop their group, support each other and play an engaged part in Stamma.

We want to ensure that we have local groups across the UK which are welcoming and engaging and provide a consistent quality experience to new and existing members.  More, we want to expand our network, and create more local groups – and ideally more national networks, like the Defence Stammering Network or the Stamma Civil Service. 

ROLE OUTLINE

Your job is to work with our volunteer organisers, many of whom have been involved in Stamma for many years, and look at what they need in terms of resources and information and support – and knit that into an overarching plan.  One that delivers a common understanding and agreement between ourselves and the organisers – and ensure that people taking part in local groups, online groups, networks, experience a consistent quality experience.

ABOUT YOU
You will like meeting people, be a great listener, a great organiser and by definition be a good planner.  Good taking thought to deed, coming up with a plan, writing it down succinctly and clearly, getting agreement, putting it into action.  You’ll be hoping to be able to travel widely, and meet everyone. Failing that you’ll be pretty great at organising and running Zoom meetings.  Not bad too at social media. You are as at home with local groups as you are with a huddle of city bankers – able to stand up and present with passion and clarity.

LOCAL GROUPS & NETWORKS

A local group could be 4 or 40, meeting in a uni or going for a ramble, or sitting down for a group knit at the Community Centre.  But we need a clear agreement in place for how groups are run and promoted, where data is kept, how people are protected, and importantly the messaging around stammering. Your job is to get this into place.

You will also be responsible for helping secure and set up new local groups and networks – recruiting coordinators, setting them up, helping knit them into the coordinators network, which you’ll also set up.

There is growing demand and interest in setting up networks within organisations, across branches, to support those who stammer.  Whether in the workplace or in education.  You’ll be over this like a rash, sourcing and developing resources and materials for use locally or available online, tailored to the different environments.  This is a huge area to get on top of, but no rush.

You’ll set up systems and relationship so that our local organisers are kept up to date, can support each other and keep the organisation grounded.  In return we’ll be looking to organisers to help set up local Open Days, family days, our biennial conference and workshops. And working together, from the ground up, we will create a better world for people who stammer.

If this is you, if this excites you, then join us.

This role will work alongside the UK team to execute IJM NI’s fundraising strategy, covering mid and major-level donors, champions (volunteers) and corporate organisations across Ireland. In addition they will represent the NI audience in planning and execution of wider UK appeals and fundraising campaigns. 

Who you are:

Essential

• Passionately committed to ending slavery and ensuring that justice systems deliver security for those who are most vulnerable
• A committed Christian with a passion for justice and reliant on God’s word and prayer
• Experienced and skilled in relationship management including being able to establish rapport quickly, network successfully and develop ongoing relevant relationships in a professional manner.
• Understanding of the Nothern Ireland charity fundraising and Christian contexts.

Desirable

• An understanding of UK giving culture
• Understanding and experience of major donor fundraising

Fixed Term Contract

£37,306

Living Planet Centre Woking, Surrey GU21 4LL

This is a unique opportunity to use your qualification and/or experience in sustainable agriculture to save our planet. WWF’s recent Living Planet Report shows a 60% decline in species populations since 1970. Nature, our life support system, is being lost at an alarming rate and we have a short window to reverse this. That is why our ground-breaking multi-year partnership with Tesco is so important.

As Sustainable Agriculture Specialist, you will be part of a team working to deliver sustainable, healthy and affordable food for all, with the ambitious aim of halving the environmental footprint of the UK shopping basket. A core element of our partnership is focused on Restoring Nature in Food Production, with a critical sustainable agriculture workstream, which is where your expertise is needed.

You will work closely with WWF colleagues and Tesco counterparts on environmental policy, food systems transformation and landscape approaches. We will look to you to ensure key projects that drive technical, government and sector advocacy, as well as business transformation in Tesco’s supply chains, both in the UK and overseas, are effectively delivered. You will be responsible for project planning, implementation, coordination, delivery and reporting. You will track budget allocations and spend too. Important will be the ability to coordinate activities to maximise impact with wider WWF programmes of work as appropriate as well as collaborate with colleagues working on land use and management reform policy and projects.

You must have a relevant qualification and/or equivalent experience in sustainable agriculture, business management, environment or sustainability. This will have given you a good understanding of soil, water, biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions and regenerative agriculture. You will have a track record of working with corporate partners, in networked, remote or virtual teams too. You will also be used to bringing together stakeholders and creating a culture of collaborative working.

Your technical expertise will be complemented by excellent communication, influencing, problem solving and presentation skills. Capable of working independently and proactively you will be good managing complex programmes, projects and budgets too.

How to Apply

If you have the energy, creativity and enthusiasm to help tackle the biggest challenges facing our planet – from the restoration of nature, to the impact of climate change – then this might just be your dream job.

Please visit our website via the link and complete the online registration and submit a copy of your up to date CV with cover letter highlighting why you are interested in this role as well as why this role is for you.
