We are looking for a dynamic, effective and innovative communicator with substantial online experience to join our team and help us grow Link UP to new boroughs in London. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a small but enthusiastic team and play a key role in expanding our initiative aimed at mobilizing professional skills to create vibrant, engaged and linked communities.  At Link UP London we do this in 2 ways:

• Through Skilled Volunteering we connect people with professional skills to local charitable organisations on short term (up to 6 months), structured projects that assist the organisation in doing its work better. 
• Through ReLaunch we support women who have been on a career break to re-connect with their skills, build confidence and define a goal for their next steps. 

A little bit about Link UP London

Link UP London began 4 years ago in Battersea and tested the model of connecting people with professional skills within a community to local charitable organisations within that community to help them do their work better. Our projects are structured with flexible time commitments and are designed to fit into busy schedules. Over the past few years we’ve grown to offer our service throughout Wandsworth and Lambeth.

In 2018 we launched our ReLaunch Programme to support professional women on a career break to re-engage with their skills, as this represents one group whose professional skills are vastly underutilised within communities. The ReLaunch workshops offer women safe space in small groups to identify strengths and develop plans for next steps. While skilled volunteering isn’t required as part of this workshop, we support these women into volunteer projects as they offer a wonderful stepping stone back to work by boosting confidence and helping people understand the value of their skills. 

We have continued our skilled volunteering services online over the past few months as well as running our first online ReLaunch session. We have also begun new services such as Flash Consulting and webinars with our skilled volunteers sharing their skills to a wider audience.  We would now like to build on what we’ve learned through our experience to date to help mobilize more skills in structured and effective ways and direct them into communities in some of the most deprived areas of London.

We are recruiting for a part-time Project Manager for our Livestock Transition Dialogues project. This is an exciting opportunity to join a small but dynamic team in an organisation that has been at the forefront of thinking on ethical concerns in food and farming since 1998. 

About the role

This is a part-time (22.5hrs/ week) role on a fixed-term (three-year contract). We need a dynamic Project Manager to help us drive forward an exciting new project working with farmers in the UK to help accelerate the transition to sustainable farming. You will be responsible for co-ordinating the smooth running of the project, working closely with the Executive Director and other members of the team. You must be prepared to manage the project, organise and facilitate workshops, conduct research to a high standard, support communications activity on the project and manage relationships with key stakeholders, including livestock farmers.

You will need to be prepared to engage in nuanced dialogue with people who have a range of perspectives on the role of livestock farming in the future. You will recognise that there is contention in the debate about what part meat, dairy and eggs should play in future food systems – and that livestock farming can have a range of both positive and negative impacts. Positive attempts are being made in the UK to tackle environmental, health and animal welfare issues surrounding meat, eggs and dairy, but these are not going far or fast enough. This role will involve identifying best practice and helping accelerate the transition to humane, sustainable farming that fairly rewards farmers. Full job description and person specification attached.

The organisation has an open and supportive culture. You must be able to work independently and be willing to contribute ideas and to challenge. Whilst your primary responsibility is to co-ordinate this new project, as part of a small team, from time to time you should be prepared to get involved in different aspects of the organisation as needed.

About the Livestock Transition Dialogues project

Livestock Transition Dialogues is a new project we are starting in autumn 2020. The aim is to develop a blueprint with UK livestock farmers and other experts to make a just transition to nature-friendly, humane approaches that contribute to net zero greenhouse gas emissions and fairly reward farmers. The focus will be helping farmers themselves work out HOW they need to change and creating the conditions for sustainable farming to flourish. We will identify building blocks for positive change, test them, encourage wider adoption and lead joint advocacy on policies to accelerate the transition.

Details

Salary: £30,000 FTE (i.e. £18,000 based on 22.5hrs/ week). In addition, we will pay a pension contribution of 4% of your basic pay per month (you will have to make minimum pension contributions in line with pensions law, unless you choose to opt out).

Hours: 22.5 hours per week spread over 3-4 days (but some flexibility on days)

Location: King’s Cross, London. We prefer for staff to work mainly in our shared office in Kings Cross, London – but with the opportunity to work remotely or from home as appropriate. Subject to government COVD-19 guidelines, the role is likely to involve some (but limited) travel around the UK to participate in workshops in different parts of the UK (as a guide, this might typically be 3-5 per year).

Right to work: You will need to hold the necessary rights/visa to work in the UK, the Food Ethics Council is not able to assist with applications for work permits.

Closing date for applications: 5pm on Friday 28th August 2020. Interviews will be held virtually (via Zoom) on Wednesday 9th September 2020.
