About the role

We are looking for a Senior Advisor: Evidence and Evaluation who will work to ensure Frontline AIDS generates and uses evidence for quality programmes and strategic decision-making. This includes leading on evaluation and research components of programmes, and finding ways to make evidence accessible and usable by Frontline AIDS staff and partners.

This role is fixed term until February 2021.

About us

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.

Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:

That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.
Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.

As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.

Are you the Frontliner we’re looking for?

You are a committed team member with a clear focus on team objectives, as well as your own. You will promote best practice within your field of expertise and challenge ways of working to ensure the highest quality and levels of efficiency. Your actions will be aligned with Frontline AIDS vision and you will inspire the same behaviour in your peers. You are comfortable working in a matrix management environment.

Million Minutes is seeking an exceptional candidate for the role of Director/Chief Executive Officer to lead us into the new decade, with our renewed vision to reach thousands more young people across the country. Our new CEO will lead our small staff team, with support from our committed Board of Trustees and dedicated volunteers.

BACKGROUND
We want young people to know that society needs them and that the Church needs them. They should know that their energy and vibrancy are valued and that others have faith in them to change their world. For this to be realised we need a Church committed to making a real change for young people. This means making young people a priority and taking real time for them. So, inspired by Pope Francis’ vision – put forward in his letter on youth, Christus Vivit– we work to inspire, accompany and equip the Catholic community to reach out to more young people and to support them to be the means of change in their lives and world.

Million Minutes is a small charity with a small enthusiastic staff team and committed volunteers, still led by our founding voluntary CEO. We now need to move into the next stage of development by increasing our capacity to ensure we can grow and sustain our activity. We first plan to expand the team by recruiting a full time CEO.

ABOUT OUR ACTIVITY
Launched in 2010, Million Minutes works to create a world where all young people enjoy a life of dignity and are accompanied to discover and fulfil their purpose. We know that the treasure of Catholic social teaching (CST) is ideally placed to inspire and underpin young people’s participation in the world. So, we have developed new ways to educate and engage young people with CST and social action, alongside celebrating their contribution to society: 

• the ‘Courtyard Project’ puts CST into action, educating and resourcing parishes to use detached youth work to reach local young people. Parishes then accompany and support young people to discover how they can transform their lives and the world.

• our small grants scheme awards grants to CST-inspired youth action. All the money raised by siLENT (see below) is awarded in small grants (usually £200-£1000). 

• the Celebrating Young People Awards enable the Catholic community to honour young people who exemplify CST. In four years we’ve celebrated nearly 1000 11-25yr olds.

•  siLENT– sponsored silence – is a way for people to discover a tradition of the Church and to take a stand for young people without a voice. It raises money for the small grants fund. 

The new CEO will lead on implementing our three year strategy to provide more support for the Church`s mission to young people. Read the full Job Description below.

The purpose of the Sigrid Rausing Trust is to promote the values and principles of human rights and freedoms, equality and the rule of law, and to preserve nature from further degradation.

With a current annual budget of £40.85million, the Trust supports advocacy, creativity, research and scholarship to these ends. It funds ten programmes with a focus in five geographical regions across the globe.

We identify new grantees through recommendations and fieldwork. The Trust places particular value on long term, unrestricted funding and only a few of our grants are ear-marked for specific projects. Many of the groups we support have relatively easy access to project funding, but may find it difficult to raise funds to cover their running costs.
