ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

We are seeking to appoint a Programme Director to lead ShareAction’s expanding programme of corporate engagement work on social issues. Initially focusing on our health programme, this is a new role and is reflective of the ambition and scale of our planned work in this area. It recognises the challenge, but also the opportunity, that comes with breaking new ground, elevating health as a systemic investment issue. This is an exciting opportunity to play a leading role in building internally collaborative and externally partnering relationships to deliver significant impact on responsible investment.

Following a year of scoping and design work, we are now starting to build the Long-term Investors in People’s Health (LIPH) programme. The programme will make the business case to investors and seek to harness the influence of the investment system to build better population health, addressing the health impacts that companies have on their workforce, consumers and on the communities, they operate within.

This multiyear programme will build on the success of our Healthy Markets campaign—a collaborative investor engagement initiative on healthy diets with supermarkets and food manufacturers. LIPH will add workstreams of investor standards and accountability, and supportive public policy.

The Programme Director will lead a growing team (initially 7 FTEs) and will ensure strategic coherence of work on health taking place across ShareAction’s different programme teams (Financial Sector Strategies, Corporate Engagement and Policy), ensuring that our total impact is greater than the sum of its parts. The Programme Director will have particular responsibility for critical external facing activities, such as fundraising, partnerships and engagement strategy.

Key responsibilities:

• Overall accountability for successful achievement of LIPH programme objectives and management of programme risks.
• You will work closely with the Head of Health to develop the overall delivery plan for the LIPH programme.
• Develop and implement strategy to fundraise for the Long-term Investors in People’s Health (LIPH) Programme, with the support of the Fundraising Team which includes managing relationships with funders for the LIPH programme, engaging them appropriately in programme governance and overseeing reporting to them.
• You will lead the investor engagement strategy for LIPH, including identifying investors to recruit as signatories and how to engage them to meet programme objectives.
• Lead on the partnerships strategy for LIPH, including identifying and building strategic relationships with individual and organisational partners.
• Working closely with our Communications team you will lead strategic communications strategy for LIPH, building the reputation and profile of the initiative.
• Oversee policy work as part of the LIPH programme.
• Develop governance and advisory structures for LIPH and, with the support of the Project and Impact Manager, support those structures to function effectively.
• You will be expected to foster effective team working across the LIPH team and LIPH leadership team putting in new processes where necessary.

Please note that this list isn’t exhaustive, and the role might change slightly from time to time.

Requirements

We are looking for a passionate, determined individual, with the following experience and skills:

ESSENTIAL

• Strong understanding of the commercial determinants of population health and current developments in business action to address health impacts.
• Experience (e.g., as a campaigner or in-house) of influencing corporate behaviour and ability to develop effective strategies to do so.
• Distinctive communications and stakeholder management skill, comfortable communicating and influencing at a senior level, and able to flex communication style accordingly.
• Confidence in acting as a spokesperson at external events and in the media.
• Experience of grant fundraising, business development or related field, able to make compelling proposals and build relationships to secure support.
• Clear, strategic thinker able to manage competing priorities.

• Research: With a strong customer base we are able to carry out our own research – current programmes include waiting times for ADHD assessments and lived experience of support services for ADHD at work plus benefits for students and unemployed.  In 2022 we plan to start funding third party research including researching the effects of late diagnosis on ADHD people’s lives.
• Advocacy: We work with employers to help them develop neurodiversity-friendly workplaces, both through our Employer Pack and through training and presentations to organisations.  In 2022 we plan to extend the Employer Pack and offer further support and training services for employers and employees, some of which are revenue generators. 
• Awareness: Use of our website grew tenfold last year and we also work with the press, e.g. we recently launched a press panel of people with lived experience of ADHD, resulting in coverage on SKY News in January 2022.  PR is an area we will be growing this year. We are also planning campaigns to drive changes from the top of government for pupils and students.

Haven House Children’s Hospice first opened its doors in 2003 with the aim to provide specialist care to babies, children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions, as well as support for their families, from across North and Northeast London, West Essex and East Herts. Our services have grown significantly and are wide ranging including end-of-life care, symptom management, respite, play and various therapies, as well as practical and emotional support for the wider family members.

Haven House’s 5-year strategy, the ambitious Vision 2020, came to a successful conclusion in 2020 and we were due to agree and announce a new 3-year strategy at that time but that was delayed by Covid-19. With the arrival of our new CEO, work is underway on a new long-term strategy, one that we intend to be equally ambitious in offering more support to more children and families.

Today we support over 400 children each year as well as their families – but we know from research that there remain many families we have not yet been able to reach. Income has continued to grow year-on-year to £5m+ (2020/1 - a record in spite of the challenges of the past year. There is though much more we want to achieve for children and families, and we believe that, with the right leadership, the potential exists for further income growth to enable us to do just that.

The Income Generation & Marketing (IGM) team at Haven House is responsible for raising around 80% of the funds required to run the hospice and its services. It is also responsible for promoting the hospice across its local communities to engage a wide variety of stakeholders in fundraising and volunteering activities.

Hackney Migrant Centre (HMC) delivers a free, weekly advice and support service for vulnerable migrants on immigration, housing, welfare and access to health (our visitors). We support visitors to resolve their immigration problems and move out of homelessness and destitution in the long-term, as well as assisting them to address immediate issues. Most of our visitors lack secure immigration status or have a pending asylum claim and are destitute as a result of their immigration status and the Hostile Environment.

HMC’s work is supported by over 50 dedicated volunteers and we work closely with a number of partner organisations to ensure visitors can access specialist legal advice and long-term support.

PURPOSE OF THE POST

HMC's work is informed by a vision of a UK where no one is forced into destitution, exploitation or vulnerability as a result of their immigration status.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual to undertake overall responsibility for the running of HMC as it delivers its purpose to support migrants primarily in Hackney, and the wider London community, to access rights and overcome injustice in the immigration system. The postholder will be responsible for strategic development and the effective operation of HMC’s services and have oversight of the organisation’s finance, administration and governance. The postholder will take overall responsibility for staffing, and line-manage a team of staff.

This is an exciting opportunity for the right person to develop and support HMC as it reviews its service following Coronavirus and the support it can provide for visitors. The postholder will have the opportunity to shape this role. If you relish the challenge, we would love to hear from you. 

We particularly welcome and encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals, those who are migrants or refugees, and who have lived experience of the impact of immigration policy and practice.
