About BASIC
BASIC is an independent, non-profit think tank working to safeguard humanity and Earth’s ecosystem from nuclear risks and interconnected security threats, for generations to come.
For nearly 40 years, we have developed a global reputation for groundbreaking dialogue and incisive thought leadership to help states overcome complex strategic and political differences.
We comprise an intellectually and culturally diverse team of expert-practitioners with wide-ranging areas of expertise, globally headquartered in London with presences in Berlin and Rome. We are recognised internationally for our inclusive and positive team culture.
We are proud to be an independent voice in policy debate, and we are transparent about our funders and funding ethics. We receive no core funding from any state.
Role Description
BASIC is seeking a motivated and dynamic Project Manager (Policy Fellow) to lead BASIC’s deliverables within our joint project with the Federation of the American Scientists (FAS): ‘From the Noise, the Signal’.
The project investigates how emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) pose credible threats and disrupt traditional assumptions regarding relative military advantages and disadvantages. One such assumption is the traditional dominance of hiders over seekers in the military domain which appears to be increasingly challenged by a package of EDTs. These technologies operate across military domains, including: outer space and the upper atmosphere, air, ground, sea surface, undersea, and cyber. Research has, however, not yet fully assessed EDTs collective impacts on hider-seeker dynamics, at a time where technologies are advancing faster than policy.
This joint FAS-BASIC project addresses this gap in both the research literature and policy discourse through collaboration with an interdisciplinary community of scientific, technical, and OSINT experts, to build a higher-resolution picture of the technological readiness according to the open-source.
This high-impact role offers the opportunity to deliver the research and manage the part of the project that covers sea-based dimensions. The second phase will bring the project’s sea- and land-based dimensions together, and assess the overall strategic implications of these technological advances for nuclear stability.
The Project Manager is expected to have a solid understanding of global security, nuclear nuclear issues, and expertise in EDTs and nuclear weapons issues demonstrated through a record of relevant (policy) research. The successful candidate will have experience with convening and leading high level dialogues and experience with project delivery.
The successful candidate will manage and lead the project’s delivery across several outputs, working closely with FAS partners.

Deputy Head of Service (Shared Lives)
Salary: £45,000 per year
Job Ref No: DHOS072025
Hours: 37 hours per week
Location: Office closest to applicant (listed in the job description)
Contract type: Permanent
Are you passionate about making sure people have a voice and a choice when it comes to their care? Fancy a new role you can get your teeth into and make a big impact?
We’re on the hunt for a new deputy head of our Shared Lives service.
What is Shared Lives?
Shared Lives is a little bit like fostering, but it’s for adults who need some support to live as independently as possible. Someone who needs support goes to live with one of our ace Shared Lives carers and they support them to live their best lives, do all the things they love and be part of their communities. PSS invented Shared Lives back in 1978 and it’s now become a national model of care that lots of other social care providers run. We’re really proud of that. It’s the most brilliant, safe and cost-effective form of care there is (and we’re not just biased – in October 2023, CQC rated 97% of Shared Lives schemes in England as good or outstanding, in comparison to just 78% for the wider social care sector!).
We have Shared Lives schemes in seven different places across England and North Wales – and we’ve got big plans to add to that.
What do we need out deputy head of Shared Lives to do?
Alongside the head of Shared Lives, your job will be to make sure each one of the services in Shared Lives is absolutely top-notch in every way:
- They provide excellent support to the people who use our Shared Lives service
- They support people to reach their goals
- Any issues that crop up are dealt with effectively and in line with our policies and procedures
- They run effectively and like clockwork (but are flexible enough to change things up when it’s needed – even if it’s how things have always been done);
- They’re performing well financially, they’re sustainable and they’re cost-effective
- Carers, PSS Shared Lives teammates and people we support all feel really well informed, motivated and part of a big family
- Our service is getting better all the time
You’ll be supported by a cracking team of service managers who will lead each of the seven individual regional services within Shared Lives. They’ll be looking to you to help them review and develop their services, looking at best practice and national/local strategic priorities together.
On a day-to-day basis, your work would involve things like:
- Getting behind our Shared Lives teams and offering them your support with Care Quality Commission (CQC) compliance, safeguarding reports and complaints
- Leading the way when we win new contacts in new areas of the UK (the plan is to grow our schemes)
- Deputising for our head of Shared Lives: maintaining the risk register for services, identifying, managing, monitoring and escalating risks appropriately when our head of Shared Lives isn’t around
- Helping keep our Shared Lives carers and supported people feeling happy, connected, motivated and part of our big Shared Lives family
- Finding out what our carers and supported people need and how they feel things are going by heading out on the road to meet them
- Supporting our Shared Lives communications and engagement manager with nailing any info and insights they need for their role by sharing what you know, and supporting them with maintaining and introducing communications and engagement initiatives
By 2029, we want to make PSS the most inclusive place it can possibly be, where everyone feels like they belong – and you’ll need to play your part, along with everyone else at PSS, to make it happen.
Check out the full job description on our website for more info about what you’ll need to do in this role.
So what are we looking for?
We’re on the hunt for someone who (amongst other things):
- leads teams brilliantly and especially through periods of change, has great people skills, communicates well and brings people along with them on the journey;
- is open-minded, determined, professional, big-hearted and genuine;
- understands and knows lots about the relevant quality and regulatory frameworks for health and social care;
- builds fantastic relationships with people;
- is self-aware and takes accountability for results whether they’re good or bad;
- loves driving continuous improvement strategies to make sure we’re getting nothing but excellent outcomes for the people we support; and
- has a degree in health or social care, or an equivalent qualification
Have a look at the person specification within the job description for more info about what we’re looking for.
Before you apply, we just want to let you know some key information about our selection process:
We have an equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) policy, which aims to remove any kind of discrimination in employment. Our candidates are selected on merit only, which means they’ll be given equal opportunities no-matter what their age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, religion or beliefs might be.
Once you hit that ‘apply’ button, you’ll be taken across to an online recruitment system called Applied. Applied is the only hiring software with diversity and fairness built into every step of the process and we’re very proud to partner with them to help us give you an unbiased recruitment experience.
Applied wants to make sure its doing its job by finding out more about the socio-economic backgrounds of people applying for roles through their site. Once you register your details on the Applied site, you’ll be asked to give a bit of info about you: things like your age, gender, ethnicity, etc. You’ll also be asked questions around whether your parents went to university and whether you had free meals at school. These questions are set by Applied experts based on extensive research and expertise, and you can find out more about this here.
This information is completely anonymised, and here at PSS, we never see answers linked to a candidate’s name. The answers you give here don’t form any part of our decision-making. We only receive combined data about an applicant pool (and only when there’s enough applicants to ensure that answers can remain anonymous). We report on this data every quarter to help us find out if there’s anything in our process that harms the chances of success for candidates from minority groups and any possible steps to help improve this.
If you still prefer not to answer, that’s no problem at all - there’s also an option to select ‘prefer not to say’. The only EDI-related information that we will learn about you is if you tell us that you have any reasonable adjustments needed at any part of our process.
Your trusty candidate pack will also help you get a feel for what it’s like to work with us, find out what we’re looking for, explain the recruitment process and help you decide whether you can see yourself as a part of our amazing team. Each section is crammed with hints and tips to help you make a great application, so please take the time to give it a good read.
Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions about the above.
We also welcome any feedback you might have about our approach so there’ll be plenty of opportunities for you to give this as part of the process.

About us
Kids Matter is one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s charities.
Our vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Our mission is to reduce the impact of poverty on children through community-based parenting programmes.
Research shows that group-based early intervention parenting groups are the most effective way to support children in need. We train peer facilitators in local churches - the largest voluntary body in the country - to run our affordable, accessible and highly effective parenting programmes, written by Clinical Psychologists. They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.
We value difference and diversity, and we want our workplace to be built on shared values of equality and mutual trust, with team members representing the wide range of backgrounds and experiences that exist within the UK. We therefore actively encourage applications from people of diverse backgrounds and varied experiences, particularly those who are African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or part of other minority ethnic communities, who have lived experience of the impact of low-income/low-support circumstances, and who are living with a disability or identify as being neurodivergent.
About the role
The Support Coach role involves:
- Supporting volunteer facilitators by coaching them through the opportunities, challenges and obstacles of running a Kids Matter programme
- Training and upskilling facilitators by helping run events and develop new resources
- Working with the wider Kids Matter team to encourage and strengthen Kids Matter’s church partnerships
At Kids Matter, we are committed to delivering effective coaching. All Support Coaches are given the opportunity to go through the coaching accreditation process with ICF to become an Associate Certified Coach (ACC). Kids Matter provides the support and supervision for this to take place, and will cover the cost of the accreditation if the individual remains employed as a Support Coach for the two years following applying for accreditation. If the individual leaves before two years, a percentage of the accreditation cost will be required to pay back.
About you
Are you someone who enjoys coming alongside others, encouraging and challenging them as they learn and grow? Do you have a strong understanding of the disadvantages many families face in the UK? Can you sensitively and effectively communicate with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences? Are you a Christian with an active faith in Jesus? Do you have a passion for Kids Matter’s vision to see every child in need raised in a strong family?
Then we would love to hear from you!
