Do you want to work with a vibrant, dynamic and youth driven organisation that is committed to creating healthy futures for British children by improving the food system?

Be part of the creative, agile and growing team behind Bite Back 2030’s exceptional teenage activists. Join us as our Head of Youth Development and Training and contribute to our journey to help make the food system healthier and fairer.  See below for more details about the role and how to apply.

About Bite Back 2030

It should be easy for us to eat healthily - it isn’t. The food system is rigged against us.

Young people are up against a flood of unhealthy food, pouring out of our highstreets, supermarkets and school canteens. Junk food is cheap and easy to access and billions is spent on marketing that ensures it plays a starring role in children’s minds. All this at a time when the health of 1 in 3 young people is already at risk from the food they eat by the time they are 11. What’s more, children from our most disadvantaged families are twice as likely to be affected than those growing up in wealthier households. 

Covid-19 has only further served to highlight the injustices in the food system and sharpen the focus on the impact the food around us has on our health. We believe young people are the key voices in driving a transformation of our food system, and our young campaigners are busy pushing for changes that will protect child health. 

Bite Back was co-founded by Jamie Oliver and launched in October 2019. Since then our  remarkable young campaigners have featured widely in the media and at major events, campaigning on a range of issues including extending Free School Meals, tackling online and TV advertising of junk food, and calling out the food industry’s misleading marketing tactics. 

With around 100 young campaigners and hundreds more young people engaged through our school and community programmes, our movement is growing and we’re not stopping until every child has access to healthy and nutritious food!

The Institute is inviting applications for a Learning and Development Manager to join our IfG Academy team, to start as soon as notice periods allow.

The IfG Academy brings together the Institute’s expertise on government into practical training and support. We help those working in government to improve it, and those outside government to understand and engage with it, through a range of tailored workshops and resources: for ministers on how to get the most out of their time in office, for officials on how to support their ministers effectively, and for subject specialists on how to engage meaningfully with policy makers.

Since launching the IfG Academy at the beginning of 2023, interest in our training courses from clients in government, the public sector, non-governmental organisations, businesses and academia has been significant. This success has been such that we are now in a position to expand the team to meet the demand we have generated, and help us continue to grow.

We are therefore looking to appoint a second Learning & Development Manager to support our Head of Learning & Development in designing and delivering our programme of workshops and training courses on government and policymaking.

In this role, you will work with the rest of the IfG Academy team and others across the IfG to design and deliver courses and workshops for a wide variety of clients including ministers, civil servants, MPs, academics and others.

This will include:

• Delivering high-quality online, in-person and hybrid workshops, roundtables and training courses alongside the Head of Learning & Development and other IfG Academy colleagues to a wide variety of audiences.
• Designing and developing high-quality, compelling course materials reflecting the Institute’s extensive research and expertise – where appropriate in collaboration with the IfG’s team of research professionals.
• Professional and timely liaison with external clients and course attendees, to maintain and grow the Institute’s excellent reputation for Learning & Development.
• Working with the Institute’s partnerships, events and operations teams to ensure workshops and training courses are administered effectively and run smoothly.

As the Academy develops there is scope for this role to grow, enabling you to take on increasing responsibility.

Candidates for this role need to have experience in designing and/or delivering workshops or training sessions. However, we are taking a broad view on what this experience looks like, and the role could suit people with a wide range of different backgrounds and experiences. If you are interested in applying but are not sure you have all the skills or experience we’re looking for, please do apply and give us the opportunity to consider you as a candidate. Full details about the role, including a person specification and information about the application process, can be found in our job application pack and we encourage all candidates to read the pack carefully before completing their application. 

The IfG is committed to supporting greater diversity and inclusion within our workforce, and to fostering an environment in which everyone feels welcome, supported and valued.

This includes but is not limited to minority ethnic candidates, disabled candidates, and candidates from low-income backgrounds.

In this newly created position, the postholder will be responsible for driving new business and nurturing partnerships particularly within the financial services sector whilst influencing key audiences and stakeholders to help grow and diversify SEA’s income.

At Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA), the team tackles one of society’s biggest issues.

Yet too few people are aware of economic abuse – even those who experience it.
