The Cares Family is an anti-racist organisation committed to advancing anti-racism in our work and in our communities. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, who are under-represented in our organisation. We are an equal opportunities employer.

The Cares Family helps people find community and connection in a disconnected age. First established in 2011, our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation by creating and supporting meaningful mutual relationships between people who might not otherwise interact; to help people feel belonging, purpose and power in a rapidly changing world; and to bring people together across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

In your role as The Cares Family’s Corporate Partnerships and Engagement Coordinator, you will work closely with our Director of Development, Head of Development and Head of Community Fundraising to support our growing network of local and national corporate partners across the five branches of The Cares Family (North London Cares, South London Cares, Manchester Cares, Liverpool Cares, East London Cares) as well as for our new national projects.

This is an exciting time to join our ambitious fundraising team. You will be responsible for managing and delivering volunteering and engagement opportunities with current partners to sustain and grow their support. New business development is also a core part of this role so you will create a robust pipeline of prospective corporate partners and convert new multi-year collaborations, sponsorships, and employee engagement and fundraising into income.

With so much of this role depending on excellent account management, we need a real people-person, skilled in delivering events. You will have excellent organisational and people management skills to deliver volunteer engagement opportunities. You will be an all-round team player and provide administrative support to the team to steward our national corporate partners and drive new business.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

• £31-35,000 (dependent on experience)
• 24-month initial contract (with possibility of renewal)
• Full-time (37.5 hours per week)
• 26 days’ holiday per year
• Fully remote during the pandemic, then based in London, Liverpool or Manchester, though we have flexible and remote working arrangements in place

The Cares Family is an anti-racist organisation committed to advancing anti-racism. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, who are under-represented in our organisation. We are an equal opportunities employer.

ABOUT THE CARES FAMILY

The Cares Family’s mission is to help people find connection in a disconnected age. Our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst younger and older people alike; improve people’s connection, belonging, purpose and power in a rapidly changing world; and bring people together to reduce social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

Those relationships have had a dramatic impact. 98% of young people involved say they have a stronger connection to the community. 73% of older neighbours involved say their isolation is reduced; 86% are better able to appreciate the changing world; and 77% say their relations with young people have improved. Neighbours report feeling reduced loneliness, improved understanding across generations, a deeper sense of belonging, and “part of something bigger”.

But as the Covid-19 pandemic has shown, loneliness is not just a personal crisis for younger and older people; it’s also a broader public health crisis and a national political crisis. So, as well as improving individual lives and community togetherness, The Cares Family has started to have an impact at the systemic and cultural levels too – through storytelling and campaigning work that are rapidly increasing our profile and making an even bigger difference.

We are therefore at a moment of opportunity to make an even bigger difference in the year ahead. We plan to do that with our ‘Action, Voice, Power’ strategy – increasing our local action with new projects, raising up the voices of human experience through new communications and campaigns, and working to ensure national and local government make new investments to reduce loneliness, and build connections across perceived divides.

ABOUT OUR IMPACT AND LEARNING

The Cares Family has undergone four external evaluations which demonstrate the impact of our work. However, measuring the value of human relationships, which are necessarily subjective, in a way that is simultaneously scientific, community-led and respectful of people’s full stories, is challenging.

We are therefore seeking to build on the learning from our four evaluations, to embed impact evaluation techniques that are consistent with our community-first philosophy, and to do so in a way that challenges top-down evaluation approaches which can be reductive and isolating.

To do so, we need to raise the bar on our monitoring and evaluation, data capture and analysis; to set up better processes to analyse and evaluate that data for learning purposes; and to put in place an organisational Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning framework to enable us to better measure our outcomes.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

We are therefore seeking a Head of Impact and Learning with a solid understanding of monitoring and evaluation approaches as well as systems, data, analysis and, crucially, people.

This is a new role and an exceptional opportunity for an innovative social researcher to design and develop simultaneously values-led and robust evaluation. Working closely with our delivery teams and with input from our neighbours, you will embed outcomes monitoring into our day-to-day activities, and evaluate our programmes and projects in a meaningful way.

Our Operations Directorate provides operational coordination, grant and programme management and logistics support for our humanitarian health programming.  Following a period of significant growth, we formed new Operations and Health Directorates from the previous programmes team.  After several months under interim leadership, we are now looking for our first permanent Operations Director to develop and embed the work and systems of this team.

You will play a significant role as a senior leader of a humanitarian NGO whose work has never been more important.  Humanitarian health needs are growing.  UK-Med is an NGO providing emergency health support in times of crisis and humanitarian emergencies.  We provide clinical support, as well as training and capacity building for health professionals around the world, with particular focus on countries vulnerable to outbreaks, natural disasters or with weakened health systems due to complex emergencies. As a key partner of the UK Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT), we work closely with FCDO and the WHO, but we are also growing our own programmes.  Our work has never been more vital, with disease outbreaks and disasters becoming more frequent, complex and severe.

Our new Operations Director will be an established senior professional in humanitarian operations management with previous experience in NGO senior leadership.  You will bring both the expertise to develop our systems and processes, and the flexible, can-do attitude to ensure effective day-to-day delivery while systems are developed.  This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, capable professional to join a rapidly growing organisation at a pivotal point in our development.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits along with a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through humanitarian work.  UK-Med is a growing and developing organisation with a committed team of staff, volunteers and members.
