PART-TIME COORDINATOR – ‘EYES ON, HANDS ON’ PROJECT

 (FIXED TERM CONTRACT to 31 Mar 2022)

The CWGC honours the 1.7 million men and women of the Commonwealth Forces who died in the two world wars, ensuring they will never be forgotten. Our values and aims, laid out in 1917, are as relevant now as they were 100 years ago. 

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a talented and self-motivated Volunteer Coordinator to join our team based in our South East Region to deliver the Annington Homes sponsored ‘Eyes On, Hands On’ volunteering project.

The ‘Eyes on, Hands On’ project is a new venture which will seek to develop a volunteer network to link the military communities in the UK with the CWGC sites in their local area. The postholder will develop opportunities to use volunteers to support and supplement the care provided by regional operations staff to CWGC commemorations.

Working 15 hours over the week, you will be liaising closely with the local Regional Manager, the in-place Volunteer Coordinators and your volunteers building and maintaining partnerships with a wide range of volunteer organisations and associations, ensuring regular engagement.

In order to succeed in this role, you will have excellent communication, presentation and networking skills. You will also have experience of working with the UK Armed Forces, and empathy with the Service ethos.

If you would like to be part of a key team raising the profile of our valuable work and think you’ve got what it takes to succeed in this role please send your completed Application Form, CV and a covering letter explaining what you can bring to the role and why you believe you can fulfil the requirements of the job, as outlined in the job description .

Circa £29,746 pro rata, depending upon experience, with an allowance of £1,044, pro rata, to compensate for the fact a home office will be required. The Commission will also require the successful candidate to use their own car for any travel, for which mileage will be paid. 

Location: South East Region 1 (ideally in the Kent/Sussex area)

We reserve the right to close this vacancy at any time once we receive sufficient applications and encourage all interested applicants to apply at their earliest convenience to avoid disappointment.

The closing date for applications is 29 January 2021 and it is anticipated that interviews will take place on week commencing 15 February 2021.  Due to current Covid-19 Social Distancing requirements, interviews will take place using Microsoft Teams.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an exceptional individual with a demonstrable record of policy and research work, ideally within an asylum or immigration detention context.

You will be responsible for the delivery of our policy, research and parliamentary work.  As part of your role you will gather evidence from our casework and elsewhere to prepare briefings, papers and research reports about the harm caused by immigration detention to alert the Home Office, NHS England, medical professional bodies, parliamentarians, and the courts to ongoing issues.

Influenced by our robust and unique evidence base, our credibility and effectiveness, as well as the expertise of our staff and volunteers, Medical Justice enjoys excellent collaboration with lawyers, other NGO’s in the field, medical professionals and parliamentarians.  Medical Justice is the only NGO consulted by NHS England on its Service Specifications for healthcare provision in Immigration Removal Centres (IRCs).  In 2019 Medical Justice became the secretariat for the newly formed All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Immigration Detention.  In 2020 Medical Justice was granted Core Participant status in the Brook House IRC Public Inquiry which provides what is probably the best prospect there has ever been to expose ongoing systemic failures in immigration detention.

Working closely with the Director and the Casework Manager, and line managing the Parliamentary and Research Analyst, the successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring Medical Justice has the greatest possible impact on immigration detention policy and practice.

Though the full-time Policy, Research & Parliamentary Manager post is very much preferred, Medical Justice might alternatively consider a combination of a 3 day a week Policy Manager post plus a 2 or 3 day a week Researcher post – if you would be interested in either of those part-time roles, please express your interest as soon as possible.

Medical Justice is keen to look beyond the traditional review of your qualifications and work experience to what relevant knowledge and skills you may have acquired through your life experience.
