ABOUT THE ORGANISATION
Who we are
Unchecked UK launched in Autumn 2019, and now has a team of five part-time staff, all working from home. To date we have received grants from 14 philanthropic foundations. We are a non-partisan organisation, incubated as a project of The Ecology Trust.
Our vision
Unchecked UK makes the case for common-sense protections which help keep people safe and allow businesses to thrive.
Over the years, successive UK governments have weakened or removed important standards and protections across public life. Regulatory enforcement capacity has been subjected to swingeing cuts, and government departments have been obliged to constantly try and reduce the UK’s regulatory stock, so as to cut costs for businesses, regardless of environmental or societal costs.
Unchecked UK believes that the deregulation pendulum has swung too far. The impacts of this are being borne by some of most vulnerable people in the UK (those whom regulations are often designed to protect), whether through poor quality food, lax workplace safety rules, a damaged natural environment, or inadequate consumer protections. We believe that the UK, one of the richest countries in the world, should be aiming higher. Our vision is for a United Kingdom where sensible protections are recognised as central to a prosperous, thriving, fair economy and society.
What we do
Unchecked UK aims to change the cultural and political dynamic around regulation. Our focus for 2021 is on workplace protections and the enforcement of tax law. Our work spans four areas:
Research
We produce original and rigorous research to show the extent and impacts of deregulation and the erosion of UK enforcement capacity. We carry out quantitative and qualitative research to demonstrate that there is no enthusiasm for a weakening of protections among the British public.
Narrative building
We are working to generate a new narrative that counters the idea that regulations are ‘burdens’ and establishes strong protections as an integral part of what makes Britain great. We are exploring new ways of talking about public protections which resonate with key voter groups, with a particular focus on engaging and activating individuals who voted Conservative for the first time in 2019.
Cultural campaigning
We run cultural campaigns across our thematic areas of focus in turn, with the aim of raising awareness and securing demonstrable support for strong rules from diverse audiences. Our current focus is on workplace protections and the enforcement of tax rules. As above, our key audience for this work is first-time Conservative voters in so-called ‘Red Wall’ constituencies, a cohort which – our research finds – strongly supports robust, well-enforced rules and standards.
Movement building
We are building a network of supporting organisations and other partners, and hope to develop further relationships with individuals, community groups, and organisations across the political spectrum, in order to build a broad and diverse movement for strong public protections.
Our goals in 2021-22
Unchecked UK has just completed a strategy review, identifying and refining our strategic priorities over the next few years. Our organisational focus over the duration of this role will be on a) exploring ways to truly drive a new narrative on regulation; b) expanding and broadening our network of partners, in order to drive and support the wider civil society response to damaging deregulation; c) improving our ‘cultural’ campaigning to ensure that we are reaching, and resonating with, non-traditional audiences; d) establishing Unchecked UK as a central voice on this issue with the mainstream media and within political circles. The interim director will oversee and deliver this work.
...............
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a dynamic and ambitious leader to run Unchecked UK for one year on a maternity cover basis.
You will be leading a small team, providing vision and strategic direction in order to maximise the impact of Unchecked UK’s work, with a particular focus on the following:
1. Developing high-level and collaborative external relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, including: civil society organisations, politicians, sympathetic businesses, strategic funders, statutory bodies, and journalists.
2. Acting as the organisational knowledge-base, and keeping up to speed with policy developments relating to regulation, deregulation and the erosion of UK enforcement capacity in relation to our thematic focus areas (particularly workers’ rights).
3. Developing a new positive narrative in support of regulation, building on research insights from Unchecked UK and others, and engaging civil society partners to ensure they are bought-in to this process.
4. Establishing Unchecked UK as a high-profile champion for strong public protections in the UK, while showing that those advocating endless deregulation are out of step with public opinion. This will involve regularly representing Unchecked UK in the media.
5. Building a network of political (broadly defined) supporters, so as to lay the foundation for UK government policy changes. We are very keen to move beyond the traditional support base for work of this kind.
6. Building on and implementing the strategy for our work on tax enforcement and workplace protections, and working with the relevant staff to execute campaigns and research projects on these issues, commissioning high quality research and polling where applicable.
7. Liaising with and reporting to funders, and working with the Unchecked UK Advisory Board to develop the governance of the organisation.

Summary
Over the last few years Prostate Cancer Research has grown significantly increasing the number of academic research projects we fund whilst placing collaboration and patient voice at the heart of our research strategy. Deep engagement with our patient population in recent years has highlighted a desire for Prostate Cancer Research to fund work that can deliver new treatments with a greater sense of urgency. As a result, we make sure that any research we fund has a clear roadmap to the clinic. Furthermore, we are also looking to increase our funding of later stage research, including in a commercial setting.

• Keep abreast of outstanding proposals to foresee and plan workload levels.
Creation of a Translational Research Fund
• Create a portfolio of investment opportunities in both diagnostics and therapeutics and carry out the required analysis and due diligence of any given opportunity.
• Help to select an external fund manager who we will work alongside to raise circa £40-£60m to invest in translational research and/or help to set up an internal fund to invest in early stage research.

We exist to help give faith-based organisations a voice and influence through the media. In national media, the church and Christian organisations are often presented in a narrow and negative way and we want to help reframe that narrative and share positive, inspiring stories of impact from faith-based organisations - be it businesses, charitiesor churches. From tackling issues such as climate change and supporting children in poverty, to raising awareness of the issues of mental health and persecuted Christians around the world, we believe these stories from organisations that want to change the world are worth being told - and we’re here to help them do exactly that.
Over the past few years we have experienced significant growth as an agency from working with global NGOs to ambitious start-ups nationally and internationally. Now more than ever, despite the pandemic, more organisations are wanting to tell their story. In light of this, we are now seeking to grow our friendly, diverse and vibrant team by recruiting a Senior Account Director to lead on an exciting portfolio of clients and help develop the team’s rapid growth.
This role requires a seasoned PR practitioner with solid agency experience, preferably working within the charity sector, as well as extensive experience of leading crisis preparedness projects and delivering crisis response programmes.
You will be an established Senior Account Director or an existing Account Director with at least four years experience operating at this level; accustomed to managing a number of direct reports, you will be adept at guiding and training Account Managers(AM) and Account Executives (AE) within the team.
This is an exciting time to join the agency, this newly recreated role is key to the agency’s future development.
