INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS COORDINATOR (YOUTH AND SAFEGUARDING)

ST JOHN INTERNATIONAL

From £30K Up to £32K depending on experience + 11% pension contribution

The Order of St John (also known as St John International) is a prestigious chivalric organisation with a rich history and is an international development Charity. It aims to support its members and its establishments around the world in delivering first aid and health care services in more than 35 countries. The International Office of the Order is a small but busy organisation that serves as the secretariat for the global organisation and is on the cusp of expansion. It is looking for an experienced International Networks Coordinator. This is a mid-level role in the organisation, with real scope to help shape and drive change in a global organisation that reaches and engages millions of people every year.

 St John International is currently undertaking a Strategy Review and the post holder will take an active part, both in the Review and developing their own job specification.  The organisation’s role, as the international secretariat, is to provide services that enable linking up and synergy to develop between all 40 of the organisations within the family of St John, while encouraging a movement towards internationally consistent standards in all areas of organisational delivery. Functions of St John International in line with this include facilitating the development of thematic working groups to build consensus for subsequent action across all organisations.

The post holder will need to be comfortable in a role that involves considerable network building, developing consensus among peers, and using that consensus to define and enable further actions. The role would suit someone who is able to build strong peer relationships among thematic groups and able to guide a working group towards delivery of their purpose. It requires an ability to provide absolute clarity in communications and decisions, along with a willingness to hold peers to a deadline or agreement. 

This role is orientated around two specific themes of Youth involvement in governance and building a world class safeguarding system in all St John organisations. It will be necessary, however, for the post holder to recognise that these themes will evolve over time, and they could be called upon to address other themes in the same facilitation role.

This role is chiefly facilitating two developing areas of the Order of St John: The International Youth Advisory Network (40%) and development and implementation of an Order safeguarding strategy (40%). The remaining time will be involved in other network functions, such as supporting an international community of practice that is identifying good practice in volunteer management. (20%)

Although still developing in structure, aid and support for many of our smaller organisations around the world will come from the larger St John organisations based in the region.  The post holder may be required to work closely with the regional leads, linking their work with the requirements of the International Office.

International Youth Advisory network (IYAN): Facilitate the meetings of the IYAN group as per the IYAN ToR, and coordinate support discussions with youth staff managers to enable IYAN. Assist IYAN members to understand their role and encourage development of a vocal and empowered IYAN cohort.

Methods:

1. Provide a secure online space for IYAN members to use. Respond to IYAN opinion and needs in development of this space and ensure that all members are fully able to use it.
2. Develop an IYAN culture and infrastructure that is youth friendly and responsive to young people’s needs, to encourage participation.
3. Encourage discussion, remind members of deadlines, prompt engagement where necessary
4. Provide access to information as requested by IYAN members (consulting with Head of development if necessary)
5. Ensure IYAN members remain true to their purpose as described in the ToR.
6. Provide a secretarial role to IYAN as necessary, although encourage members to create their own material and minutes as much as possible.
7. Relay questions about strategy development from IEM to IYAN, and vice versa
8. Assist IYAN in producing formal documents that clarify the support that IYAN needs from staff (in the event of further youth consultation for instance)
9. Assist IYAN in delivery of their purpose in any other way
10. Coordinate peer meetings of priory youth management staff meetings, to ensure they are aware of IYAN’s discussions, and that they are prepared to assist IYAN members in delivering their purpose.
11. Facilitate IYAN in putting members forward to join other governance committees of the Order and ensure those members are adequately aware of the issues and discussions to be able to contribute meaningfully.

Safeguarding: Coordinate delivery of a safeguarding strategy for the Order, including management of a consultant to provide an indicative baseline assessment of the Order’s current situation and roadmap for improvement. Ensure that the Order strategy adequately responds to the risk from poor safeguarding, and that resources necessary to provide a world class safeguarding strategy are planned and ultimately put in place for the Order.

Methods:

1. Advocate and discuss the strategy for safeguarding development across the Order with all Priories and regional management teams. Build awareness and adherence to the strategy means and method.
2. Manage an internationally experienced safeguarding consultant, able to understand the complexities of safeguarding in international organisations that work in LMICs. The consultant should:
   1. Conduct baseline assessment of safeguarding policies, procedures and culture in at least 1 Priory and 1 Association.
   2. Provide a presentation to the trustees of the Order that highlight the current status of the Order’s safeguarding risk, the requirements and responsibilities of the trustees from a legal and moral standpoint
   3. Develop a roadmap for the improvement of safeguarding to a world class system in all of the Order’s establishments
3. Build consensus among all Priories for the safeguarding roadmap, or a variation of it. Ensure the actions identified within it are resourced and built into the Order development strategy
4. Lead in the development of any secretariat functions with regards to the agreed safeguarding strategy

Volunteer Management Community of Practice: The Order has engaged several staff managers from around the world in an effective community of practice (CoP) that discusses the subject of Volunteer management. The post holder will be required to support the continuation of this CoP

Methods:

1. Schedule and communicate with all CoP members about next meetings
2. Facilitate a rotating chair to create lively and engaging discussion around preferred issues
3. Document discussions, identifying good practice, ideas, areas requiring research, etc.

An ideal applicant would have experience in:

1. Managing a support function for an international organisation or network of organisations.
2. Working to facilitate disparate groups of people around the world to come together with a shared understanding of purpose
3. Driving committees towards clarity of decisions and purpose and holding them accountable.
4. Working with and to empower young people, particularly working with them to encourage their involvement in governance type roles.
5. Managing consultants in a timely and effective manner.
6. Using a baseline survey to evidence needs and developing costed action plans to address those needs.

ABOUT US

The 4Front Project is a member-led youth organisation empowering young people and communities to fight for justice, peace and freedom. The organisation was established in 2012 to provide a platform for those who have been impacted by violence to create change. We support members with experiences of violence and the criminal justice system to create change in their own lives, communities and society.

Over the last eight years, we have pioneered an approach that empowers those most directly harmed by violence and the criminal justice system to be at the forefront of a grassroots movement for change. Our holistic model has been designed specifically to support young people aged 13 - 25 with complex needs as a result of multiple systemic disadvantages and disproportionate exposure to serious violence. By advocating for a holistic approach to build peace, we are transforming the way in which society understands how to support young people who have been affected by violence and shaping the agenda around how to tackle the systemic causes of it. 

We acknowledge the impact of racism and discrimination on our members and actively work to dismantle these systems, whilst supporting members to recognise their strengths and identify systemic barriers to their progress. In this way, we support 4Front members to make changes in their own lives, whilst exploring the inequity they’ve experienced and amplifying their voices to create systemic change. Becoming a member means joining a powerful youth-led movement for change that is transforming the way peace and justice are understood by centring healing, rather than punishment.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a formidable Campaigns Coordinator to develop our transformative campaigning work and support young change makers to take the lead. You care deeply about revolutionising society and are personally invested in fighting for justice and equity. You can hold emotion and know how to create safe spaces for people to explore their experiences and build their sense of identity. You have experience working on campaigns that transform policy. You are well networked, already a part of groups that are tackling social justice issues and keen to actively research and network with other organisations that will become our partners and allies. You understand the power of effective communication to change minds and have interesting and unique ideas about how to get a message across. You have worked or volunteered as a mentor and you’re dedicated to tackling social justice issues. You are comfortable with conflict and have experience of managing difficult conversations to successful resolutions. You see courage in vulnerability and believe in building the resilience of young people. Most importantly, you are committed to peace and you fundamentally believe in the potential to change, both at an individual and societal level. You will be a visionary leader, seeing your work at The 4Front Project as a crucial part of your identity and purpose in life. You will be committed to upholding our vision, mission, principles and values at all times. You will be bold, actively contributing to a workplace culture that centres justice, healing, change and hope. You will play a fundamental role in supporting The 4Front Project to change society for the better.
