The role
The Programme and Evaluation Manager organises our music programmes: ongoing workshop series in detention centres and other settings, performances, special projects. So the role sits at the very centre of our work. Working closely with the Artistic Director, you will make Hear Me Out’s artistic programme a reality.
The main part of the job is to co-ordinate programme activities. This means you would need to:
- Liaise with settings, partners, artists and colleagues
- Match, book and support our artists
- Organise a mass of artistic and practical detail
- Work directly with people with lived experience of detention and asylum
- Understand the context and purpose of the work and what’s needed to make it succeed
We’re committed to evaluating our work. We want to know what difference it makes and what we can do better, so we ask participants to tell us what they think, and collect this data as we go along, to build up a picture of our impact. Organising this is an important part of the job. You’ll also lead some evaluation activities, such as focus groups with participants.
You’ll be the main point of contact for Hear Me Out’s freelance Associate Artists, supporting and supervising them as they lead music projects with adults and children, organising artist care and development activities, and helping bring people with lived experience into our artistic team.
Our programme is bigger than it has ever been, it has changed dramatically in the last few years in response to new challenges thrown up by the immigration system and we expect it will keep changing. So there will be lots of scope for you to make changes and develop new work.
This is a special opportunity to work join a supportive, dynamic team delivering extraordinary work.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone with strong people skills and equally strong organisational skills. For the music-making to have its intended impact, you will need to have a real eye for fine detail, and lots of sensitivity and awareness of people and their needs, whether they are people going through the immigration system, or managers in detention centres and asylum hotels.
You’ll know something of our context, or be able to learn that quickly. You’ll be skilled at communicating with artists, colleagues and partners to ensure we have a shared, realistic plan. You’ll understand how the detail of artistic planning feeds through into outcomes. And you’ll be able to evaluate those outcomes in a systematic way.
We are a small team, and most of us work part-time. You’ll need to work independently, co-operate and communicate consistently, and adapt readily when things change. You’ll need to be available on Wednesdays (our ‘team day’), and sometimes to work evenings and weekends.
Hear Me Out is committed to diversity, and is working to bring more people with relevant lived experience into our team. We very much encourage applications from people from culturally diverse backgrounds, applicants with disabilities or neuro-diverse conditions, and people of different ages, gender, sexual orientations and socio-economic backgrounds. We very much encourage applications from people with personal experience of immigration detention, or the asylum process, or immigration enforcement. If you have programme experience and also this kind of lived experience, we would especially love to hear from you.

- Contract: Permanent contract, subject to a 6-month probationary period

Salvation Army – Retention Campaign Manager x 2
Location: Hybrid working, 2 days in office, London SE5.
Salary: £43,798 per annum
Contract: Permanent, full-time hours.
The Salvation Army, the UK’s leading social welfare charity, has exciting opportunities to join the charity’s small, but hugely dynamic and successful, Individual Giving team with two openings for a Retention Campaign Manager.
The Salvation Army is one of the largest, most diverse providers of social and community services after the Government. With more than 650 local centres and nearly 100 residential centres, they make a powerful difference to people across the UK who might otherwise be excluded. Income raised by the Individual Giving team has grown significantly year-on-year, and this year the organisation has an ambitious target of raising over £50 million in unrestricted income.
The charity is seeking motivated and hardworking candidates to join the team, taking the lead on multiple retention appeals and supporting the Retention team to deliver an annual income target of £40 million. You will inspire and motivate supporters to continue supporting and to drive loyalty. You will deliver both online and offline activity, including cash appeals, direct debit and upgrade asks, and loyalty communications – as well as our flagship £14M warm Christmas Appeal. You will also be responsible for managing and developing one line report.
Successful applicants will have demonstrable experience of working within Individual Giving across a range of direct marketing channels. They will be a brilliant team player with exceptional project management and organisational skills, the ability to manage relationships with key external agencies and strong attention-to-detail. This will be a great opportunity for somebody looking to progress within their fundraising career and work for a charity with multi-million-pound income targets.
