We are seeking to appoint a Conferences and Events Lead who has in-depth experience in delivering events both online and in-person. This is a new position that will be responsible for managing and developing our conferences and event programme to increase our reach and impact. Excellent organisation and interpersonal skills, staying calm under pressure, and the ability to manage multiple projects with competing deadlines is essential.

The Lead will work with the Conferences and Events Officer and Conferences and Events Assistant, as well as other colleagues within the Training, Conferences and Events Team, and others from across the organisation, to plan, deliver and evaluate the Centre’s strategic conference and events programme. At the moment, the programme is delivered entirely online, and these online events will remain an important part of our offering even once in-person events return. The postholder will provide leadership to the wider organisation and support the team to ensure all events are delivered to a high quality. They would lead on the development and execution of new events helping increase reach and awareness of the Centre’s work.

The post-holder will be part of a lively and dynamic Training, Conferences and Events team, but will work across the Centre with colleagues from Fundraising and Communications, for instance, to develop and deliver innovative events. By the nature of this role, the postholder will regularly be working on new projects for the charity and therefore this role is suited for someone who is ready and excited to get stuck into new projects and opportunities as they arise – stretching yourself and developing your expertise.

About this role

In the new next few months, we’re going to launch an exciting new youth organising project, which will campaign to redesign the facilities at Canning Town Recreation Ground that were burned down in 2017 and have remained delict ever since.

Working with our local youth centre, we will network with local youth groups and bring together a group of youth leaders, and train them as young community organisers. We’ll support them to hold a listening exercise with other young people across Custom House, audit existing spaces and facilities, think through options for the site, build a youth coalition and base of support within the community, and put their plans to local decision-makers.

Not only will the youth organiser play a central role in bringing the site back into use and under community control, they will support young people in Custom House to understand their own power, and how they can change their communities for the better.

About PEACH

PEACH: People’s Empowerment Alliance for Custom House, was founded in April 2013 and is also a ‘Big Local’ area in receipt of Big Lottery funding until 2026. Over the last 7 years, we have built a people’s organisation led by formidable community leaders who have achieved real change that previously seemed unthinkable in our area. From mothers organising to win a £300k rent cut from their temporary landlord, to local leaders setting up a successful workers’ co-operative cleaning business, to hundreds of residents democratising large scale regeneration schemes, we have been at the forefront of community empowerment.  Through our work, we have built up a treasure chest of grounded expertise and knowledge: our work has been researched and documented and we are now consistently asked to advise/teach educational, governmental and third sector bodies about co-production, community engagement and organising strategy.

PEACH is part of the Big Local Scheme, which has seen 150 areas across England receive £1million worth of funding over 10 years to improve their areas. In order to receive the money, we had to set up a decision-making body (where most members are residents of the area) and submit a Big Local Plan which said what we are aiming to achieve and how we were going to get there.

We’re looking for a dynamic, creative and caring Learning Programme Lead to join our community. You’ll be primarily responsible for leading, designing and co-ordinating the learning journeys of our placement students, volunteers and staff as we equip them with the experience, skills and emotional intelligence needed to become the next generation of health and social care leaders.

ABOUT US

Likewise is an innovative social care and mental health charity working at the heart of the Camden community to support individuals experiencing marginalisation and social exclusion.

At Likewise our culture is all about being human together. More human organisations do more human work. We put a lot into having authentic relationships, work hard to support each other’s sense of belonging and love learning together through the work we do. 

Our three strands of work are:

• Community – building safe spaces for people to be themselves, and feel a sense of belonging, connectedness and acceptance

• 1-to-1 Support – flexible, person-centred support to meet the complexity a person experiences in their day-to-day life, whether at home or out in the community

• Shared Learning – providing experiential learning and formal training opportunities that support personal wellbeing and skills development, primarily through our volunteer and placement student programmes. 

ABOUT THE LEARNING PROGRAMME 

Over the past four years, we’ve built up a strong volunteer and placement student programme, which (prior to Covid) was seeing around 160 volunteers come through our organisation each year. This varied from existing clients and community members finding opportunities for contribution in our wellbeing hub, through to students committing to a year-long, formal experiential learning programme. 

These individuals provide a rich array of contributions that are essential to the delivery of our community and 1-to-1 work. We also recognise the huge potential of a learning programme that, through a combination of experiential learning, individualised support and formal training, equips people with the tools to manage their own wellbeing, support people they encounter in their personal networks and communities, and to create impact in their careers in the health and social care sector. And that, to us, is really exciting.

We’ve got lots of ideas of what to build on and where to go next to fully realise this vision, but we also want to utilise your creativity and skills to see what we’re yet to see and yet to imagine.

THE ROLE 

The main functions of the role are described below. Beyond this, we encourage people to bring with them their unique sets of experiences and skills to shape the role.

Be involved across the organisation – to experience and learn our wider context, approach and values. This will include 1-to-1 work and community engagement.

Bring new learners into the organisation - develop and manage the profile, marketing and materials that support our offers and facilitate our year-round recruitment and onboarding process including interviews, group selection workshops and inductions.

Promote partnership working - develop and maintain relationships with a wide range of stakeholders including universities and other learning institutes, other training providers such as Red Cross and Mental Health First Aid England, partner organisations such as Mind in Camden and internally with our 1-to-1 and community programmes. 

Manage learning journeys – work alongside our Pod Leaders to facilitate the skills development and personal growth of our students and volunteers, hold the duty of care for their wellbeing and hold the key responsibility for their professional feedback and assessment. 

Lead programme design – build on and innovate our learning programme offer, set learning objectives/outcomes and design and implement ways of reaching them. 

Facilitate formal training spaces – facilitate Action Learning groups, teach modules of The Care Certificate, deliver workshops on organisational values and culture, work with our training partners to deliver their offers and seek external opportunities to offer a rich curriculum to our learners.

Co-ordinate resource delivery – plan the effective distribution of our learners across the organisation to support service delivery across our programmes. 

Strategic development and income generation – work alongside our co-Directors and Programme Leads to realise our organisational vision and seek opportunity for the learning programme to deliver income generation through paid partnerships, funding opportunities and marketable courses and programmes. 

Support our administrator to support you – work in collaboration and partnership with our programme’s administrator to help you realise the full potential of our Learning Programme. 

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR  

As the Learning Programme Lead, you must first and foremost be a learner and a leader. 

Learner: the best coaches, teachers and leaders are learners themselves. We need someone who is committed to their own learning, growth and development - someone who can sit with the discomfort of learning and unlearning, is willing to step outside their comfort zone, is ready to engage in the diverse experiences of our work in which our values, practice and approach are embedded, and is prepared to tap into their vulnerability to model what this learning journey looks and feels like to others. 

Leader: we define a leader as someone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in themselves and others, and who has the courage, commitment and caring to develop that potential through relationships, processes and shared experiences. We need a leader who can, on a macro level, see the potential our programme has for creating change in our communities and sector, and on a micro level, sit with an individual and facilitate their personal growth and development. 

We’re looking for a Learning Programme Lead who will: 

• Accurately represent, model and use our values to guide our selection processes, and use excellent facilitation skills to make it all happen. 

• Be a strong relationship and partnership builder with the skills to navigate the complexities that often arise in striving for equality of exchange and mutual benefit in working relationships. 

• Support people’s growth and development through acceptance, authenticity, open dialogue, challenge and empathy. 

• Have engaging facilitation skills, insight into how to spark curiosity, and adaptability to cater to the needs of individual learners in the space. 

• Have capacity for big picture strategic thinking alongside attention to detail and be someone who can get stuff done in order to translate vision into reality. 

• Draw on our culture of learning and practice to build the Likewise offering into programmes of consultancy and support for other organisations. 

KEY DETAILS  

• Open to 4 or 5 days per week 

• Flexible working, structure your time in a way that works for you, your role and the team. 

• £32-£35k depending on experience

• 28 days annual leave + bank holidays

• 8% employer’s pension contribution

• For now, the position will be based from home, but as the Covid restrictions evolve we would expect you spend some of your time in the Likewise Hub based in Swiss Cottage. 

FLEXIBILTY

At Likewise we believe in everyone’s intrinsic motivation to do their best work and trust each other to manage working time in the way that best serves the work we’re doing. You are free to structure your working hours and time in a way that both suits your life and your professional role. Everyone wants to get the most from both. 

BRING YOUR WHOLE SELF TO WORK, IT’S ALL WELCOME

We’re passionate about creating a workplace that promotes and values diversity, inclusion and belonging. Organisations that are diverse in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical and mental health, ethnicity and perspective are vital to our communities. Our hope is that every person who joins our community – whether as a staff member, client, volunteer or supporter – can feel safe to be themselves and our commitment is to creating working spaces and relationships where this is possible.
