Do you want to work with young people in London to empower them to develop new skills and take up opportunities? StreetDoctors is looking for a temporary part time programme coordinator to support delivery of Stepwise, our flagship youth engagement programme which extends our engagement with young people at risk of violence in London. 

About StreetDoctors 
StreetDoctors teach emergency first aid to young people at risk of youth violence, so they know what to do if someone is bleeding or unconscious. We do this through our movement of young healthcare volunteers who train 11-25 year olds to understand the true medical consequences of violence and empower them to become lifesavers in their communities. Our training is delivered in partnership with criminal justice services, schools, pupil referral units, sports and community groups. Young people leave StreetDoctors sessions equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions about how to keep themselves and others safe. 

The role
Our StepWise programme helps increase the number of young people who learn lifesaving skills through StreetDoctors sessions. The programme builds on StreetDoctors model and supports young people to acquire First Aid at Work accreditation, learn about NHS careers and go on to become trainers co-delivering StreetDoctors sessions to other young people in their local communities. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to make a real impact on reducing youth violence in London, specifically in East London boroughs. If you are looking to work flexibly, this temporary, part-time role supporting the Stepwise programme could be the perfect fit for you.
You will work alongside our Volunteer and Youth Engagement Manager and London volunteers to deliver StepWise sessions over a four month period. Collaboration and the ability to build strong relationships with volunteers and our StepWise partners will be key factors in the successful implementation of the programme. 

Candidate profile 
You will be a driven, flexible and passionate individual with a desire to collaborate across sectors and within communities to work closely with young people and increase their engagement with StreetDoctors.
You will believe strongly that young people are part of the solution to youth violence and are capable of being positive role models in their communities. 
You will be enthusiastic at building and skilled at managing relationships with partners.  You will be a strong team player with experience of gathering impact data which will feed into StreetDoctors evaluation of the programme and our reports to funders.   
As well as being aligned with the values of social action, you will be practical and focused, able to work independently and function as a vital part of a small team. You will be reliable and organised with strong communication skills across a range of audiences, and excellent written skills. You will be dedicated and flexible, willing to work during the evenings and at weekends for a limited period whilst the project is underway. 
This role would be particularly suited to an applicant who is keen to work flexibly, for a limited time period, perhaps as part of a phased return to work or due to other commitments.

About LMN

Vision

A just future based on a lower demand for mining and on respect for human rights and ecological justice (including the rights of nature) where mining does take place.

Mission

We undertake research and action for human rights and environmental justice in partnership with communities resisting, or affected by, the operations of London-based or London-financed mining companies around the world. We aim to tackle impunity and hold the mining industry to account, end unethical corporate practice, and to create an alternative narrative which respects the diverse cultures and cosmologies of the people with whom we work.

Values

Frontline voices: Our work is led by the needs and concerns of the people affected by or potentially affected by the activities of mining companies. We work to strengthen their capacity to amplify their voices and to place their needs and concerns centre stage.

Solidarity: We are committed to facilitating the development and strengthening of networks of solidarity with and between people whose land, cultures, livelihoods, health and wellbeing, workplace and other rights are threatened by the activities of mining companies.

Collaboration and teamwork: We work collaboratively as part of a formal network and also as part of several dynamic and changing informal networks of NGOs, community organisations, voluntary groups, concerned individuals, and others.

Environmental Stewardship and Just Transition: We understand that we are part of nature and that we must live within the ecological limits of our planet. We seek to promote a just transition to a sustainable and fair post-extractivist society that ensures that future generations will benefit, not suffer, from the practices of our generation.

Personal and planet: We encourage everyone involved with LMN to consider their well-being and support each other, and to consider the well-being of the planet and others with whom we share it.

Respectful: We value the opinions, expertise and diversity that people bring to LMN, and treat each other with respect, dignity and common courtesy regardless of background, culture, lifestyle or position.

Empowerment: We encourage everyone involved with LMN, whether they be workers, consultants, volunteers, supporters or representatives of communities with whom we are working, to share ideas, gain skills and knowledge and to involve themselves in our decision-making processes and to feel they are part of making change happen.

Honesty and transparency: We are accountable at all levels of our work, to ensure that we are effective in our actions and open in our communications with others. We regularly evaluate our activities and welcome dialogue and constructive criticism.

With these values, we  have supported communities to say ‘no’ to mining projects and hold companies accountable, and we coordinate a network of mining justice organisations, playing an integral role in extractives campaigning.

LMN believes that the people  who should have the  decisive voice with regard  to mining projects are the people  most directly impacted by them – yet  their voices are often ignored. One of our most  important tasks, therefore, is to ensure that the  voices of communities resisting mining, communities seeking  justice from companies for the consequences of existing projects,  communities developing alternatives to mining, and mining workers in dispute  with companies, are heard by the boards, shareholders, investors and insurers of the companies and by members of the public in Britain.

We seek to promote and share communities’ ways of understanding the world and support their development models.

NCVO has a reputation as an authoritative voice for the charity sector: our robust, actionable policy positions and campaigns are built upon a strong research and evidence base and an engaged membership. You’ll help us to build on this reputation through excellent communications.

You’ll get involved in a range of projects, you’ll likely have a background in public relations or a similar area, but it won’t be all you want to do in your next role.

You’ll be part of the communications team at NCVO, which is responsible for media and internal communications, as well as parliamentary and stakeholder relations, and you’ll work closely with colleagues in our digital and marketing teams. Coordinating our communications to make sure our messages are heard by the right audiences at the right time will be an important aspect of your job.

We’re looking for someone with the judgement to help us frame our issues in the right way and the writing ability to help us explain our work clearly. We’re looking for someone with excellent news sense and political judgement, and who has the initiative to spot issues and deal with them sensitively and effectively.

NCVO is a positive and supportive place to work, and you’ll be joining us at an exciting time as we get the ball rolling on a new strategy to inform our future priorities.

NCVO is fully committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in our sector. We want this to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work for us and we welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and identities.

About the Education and Employers charity

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details here.

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.

Over 50,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 80% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns such as Inspiring Women and others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 4,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please click here.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 1.8 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.

In partnership with the National Governance Association the charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.
