Assignment: The Abbey Community Association is looking for a consultant to carry out an end-project monitoring and evaluation exercise and a final report for its National Lottery Community funded project called Women off to Work (WoW), to assess the impact of its interventions among disadvantaged communities, especially women who have been experiencing multiple barriers to employment in Westminster since August 2017. The project is expected to continue till 30th November 2020.

Contract Type: Fixed; short-term

Duration: 20 working days/150 hours (London) over a period of 3 months starting August 2020. The project runs through till 30th November 2020 and the consultant will be expected to provide a final report by the last week of November 2020. This is subject to change based on the current COVID-19 lockdown and constraints.

About Abbey Community Association:

The Abbey Community Association is a registered charity located in the heart of Westminster. The Abbey Community Association is a charity established in 1948, which supports the communities of south Westminster to improve their quality of life. Our focus is the households with priority needs living in the wards of Churchill, Tachbrook, Vincent Square, Warwick and St James. The south of Westminster is characterised by households living in concentrated areas of acute deprivation in close proximity to some of the wealthiest households in the UK. This diversity presents unique challenges for our communities, expressed in perceptions of low community cohesion and access to affordable food, services and housing. We work in partnership with organisations that share our ethics, values and passion for social justice to promote improved health and wellbeing for local vulnerable residents and families; and to increase inter-community and generational understanding and connections.

The charity has been based in and manages the Abbey Centre since 1991, located in the heart of historic Westminster, as a vibrant community hub buzzing with diverse activities and services. The Centre’s five-storey building is managed as a social enterprise, providing conference and training venues to corporate clients, with a friendly in-house café and catering service to generate funds to support our charitable work.

Women off to Work (WoW):

WoW has entered its third and final year of activities with a completion date set for 30th November 2020. The project has worked with over 350 clients (mainly women and a limited number of men) and over the course of 30 months to provide a wide range of support including:

• Information advice and guidance
• Support into education and training to gain accreditation/certification
• Support into volunteering, placements, paid employment and self-employment
• Extra-curricular activities for physical and mental well-being
• Signposting and referral to other services to improve their health and well-being

Role of Consultant:

The consultant will be to carry out a full evaluation of the project; the consultant will determine the impact it has had on: the lives of clients, staff, the Abbey Centre & its relationship with partner organisations, neighbouring bodies such as organisations worked with, a comprehensive overview of the successes and challenges.

The consultant will explore and propose appropriate methods to evaluate the work done at WoW – this includes developing a framework methodology, working with available data, ascertaining their appropriateness to the study and strategically working in a resource-stretched environment. The consultant is expected to be mindful of the need to filter large volumes of data and be able to methodically work with indicators that will ensure a report of excellent quality is produced within the timeframe provided.

The consultant in principle will:

• Design and develop an assessment plan and tools in line with the project manager and senior management at the Abbey Centre to carry out the overall study
• Be literate to generate qualitative and quantitative data from Upshot or be willing to learn the CRM system before the evaluation starts – approximately 4 hour-training provided
• Work closely with the WoW delivery team to generate appropriate data and collection methods to assist in the evaluation; this includes the collection of case studies
• Submit final report (includes photographs, charts and other documentation)

The overall evaluation criteria for this role will be weighted as follows:

Academic qualification: 10%

Experience: 20%

Proposed methodology: 60%

Price: 5%

Test: 5%

Voluntary Income in The Church of England is over £800M a year, and funds most of the church's mission and ministry. The Church of England has adopted a National Giving Strategy for 2020-2025 that will invest in different ways to encourage giving within its churches.

The clergy have a critical leadership role to play in encouraging generosity and giving to the church, but often feel reluctant and lacking in confidence to fulfil this role. Currently giving is not taught to any significant degree in ordination training, and training for clergy within dioceses is limited and variable. This is an endemic and deep-rooted issue within the church - it has been this way for at least 100 years, probably much longer - and so the cultural change required will take determination and patience.

As Generous Giving Training Manager, you will create online and face to face clergy training resources and work with the Giving Advisors, to enable this to be delivered across all dioceses. You will also develop training resources for others within the church particularly laity, who take on responsibilities in this area.

To be successful, you will need experience of successfully delivering training, ideally within a church environment and of successfully encouraging giving in a paid or voluntary capacity. With leadership and influencing skills, you will be confident communicating to all audiences with a high degree of sensitivity and discretion.

Due to the specialist nature of the roles within the Giving team, training will be provided to successful candidates to enable them to carry out their role confidently.

We are a dispersed team and have a very flexible approach when it comes to working locations. In light of Covid-19, all team members are currently based at home. As a National Team we work throughout the dioceses and predominantly use online platforms to meet and train colleagues and parishes. However the willingness for some travel throughout England and Wales and work occasional weekends may be required from 2021 onwards.

Salary £38,331 p.a.- £41,216 p.a. (London based), £35,730 p.a.- £38,419 p.a. (Outer London).

This is a fixed term contact expected to last for 3 years.

Interviews are expected to be held w/c 10^th August 2020 remotely using Zoom.

In return we offer a unique environment with opportunities for continuous learning, generous annual leave for work life balance, season ticket loans and a range of benefits including discounted entry to attractions and what we feel is a market leading package when it comes to our scheme.

Main Responsibilities

The Role

Research and consultation

Work with key individuals within dioceses and NCIs to research and consult on the most effective ways to develop training for clergy.

This includes:

• Consult with dioceses, theological colleges and colleagues in the Ministry division to explore different ways that training can effectively be delivered to clergy.
• Develop an understanding as to how giving and generosity link with other training priorities including mission, discipleship, financial management and governance.
• Explore the opportunities for clergy to deepen their experience of a generous God, and reflect on the extent to which generosity is integral to their ministry, and how this opportunity can be delivered as part of pastoral care for their health and wellbeing.
• Review existing training provision, and map the extent of training currently provided for giving and generosity.

Train clergy

Create a training strategy for clergy, working with partners within NCIs, the wider church and external agencies, and manage the roll out of training across all dioceses.

This includes:

• Pilot different approaches to clergy training on giving and generosity with early adopter dioceses
• Write a report for the Archbishops' Council Finance Committee, Ministry Council and others on the conclusions reached and recommendations on the approach(es) to be taken for a national roll out.
• Create a project plan for the implementation of training on leading generous churches across all dioceses.
• Engage with dioceses, colleagues in the national team, colleagues in the Ministry division, theological colleges and training providers to create training frameworks and materials for clergy on leading generous churches.
• Implement the project plan, rolling out training across all dioceses.
• Integrate ongoing evaluation and monitoring of impact to help shape the roll out of the training.

About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.

The philanthropy team have already grown income by 124% in recent years with a number of new team members in place, so now is a brilliant time to join now that we have clear plans in place for further growth, a great energy in the team and an incredibly urgent cause.

About you
To be successful in this role you will have

• Some experience of philanthropy fundraising, building strong relationships and securing gifts of 4 to 5 figures
• A natural flair for relationships and the ability to work equally well with a wide range of people
• Excellent communication skills, written, verbal and listening
• Knowledge of planning, monitoring and evaluating success in fundraising
• You will be a team player, with a flexible approach and the ability to collaborate well with others

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
