Recruiting during the pandemic

We know we are at a critical point across the economy here in the UK and elsewhere; this is certainly true within Higher Education. We are in touch with our colleagues and our network across the sector and are acutely aware of the challenges both financially and with regard to learning that they are experiencing. It is unprecedented for us all.

This is a difficult time for many and we have taken a carefully considered, deliberate decision to continue to drive our growth and development. We have recently appointed 6 new team members who will start with us over the next three months and have developed our approach to ensure that a remote start is as seamless as possible.

Additional ways for you, as candidates to interact directly with a wider number of our team as well as the recruiting manager have been incorporated into our recruitment process to ensure a smooth and engaging candidate experience.

Who are we?

TEDI-London is an innovative new higher education institution in London wholly focused on engineering, co-founded by Arizona State University, King’s College London, and UNSW Sydney.

Our vision is to transform engineering education to transform lives – both for students and for the users of the products they design and make. Our mission is to attract and empower individuals and partners from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to develop the skills and confidence to create practical real-world solutions that advance how we live as a global community.

You will not have a huge team and infrastructure in place. One day you might be writing a strategy or paper for the board – another you might be proofreading a letter. You will relish the chance to be in a new organisation with a world of possibilities where you can genuinely see the value that you add on a daily basis. The team you work with will be from different functions and levels – all united in one goal -to make TEDI-London a success.

Your Role

We are looking for a passionate Student Recruitment and Outreach Officer to support the Student Recruitment and Admissions team in engaging potential students to study at TEDI-London. A passion and experience of working with individuals seeking a change of career, a return to work and study or the more mature student would be a bonus to complement the accountabilities and experience within our existing team members; this is not essential. A commitment and drive to widen participation within Higher Education and especially engineering HE is a prerequisite.

How to Apply

This role is live for 2 weeks, closing Sunday 26th July at 23:59. Please merge your cover letter and CV before this is uploaded.

Background

Medact supports the health community to work together towards a world in which everyone can truly achieve and exercise their human right to health. We cover some of the most pressing national and global threats to health and wellbeing including climate change; human rights abuses; conflict and violence; and rising inequality. We’re member-led, and our membership spans a range of people who work in health including nurses, doctors, midwives, and clinical researchers.

Climate change is a public health emergency, damaging the health and lives of millions of people around the world.  Many of the communities which are suffering most from the impacts of Covid-19 are also those whose health and wellbeing is hardest hit by environmental damage. 

The Coronavirus pandemic is forcing Governments to rethink national and global economics. As the UK Government moves to develop a recovery package, it’s vital the progressive movement comes together to ensure a socially-just recovery which centres human and planetary health.  Health workers have a uniquely powerful voice, and a strong will to make a difference - there’s an exciting opportunity to bring large numbers of people together to campaign in ways which will have real impact.

Medact believes the health community has a key role to play in driving transformative social change - come work with us to help make that a reality.

About the role

The Climate & Health Campaigner leads Medact’s programme to support health workers to campaign for just and proportionate action on climate change, working closely with our Climate & Health Organiser. In spite of - or perhaps because of - the Coronavirus pandemic, there is huge energy among the health community on climate justice issues. The role includes holding Medact’s key knowledge base on climate justice and health and requires building strong relationships across the health community, from establishment institutions to frontline workers. 

About you

This isn’t an entry-level role, but you don’t need to have had a job in an NGO before or be a professional campaigner to be right for it. You might have worked with your local community or other group to campaign on a climate justice issue you care deeply about.  You’ll be a strategic thinker with a strong understanding of power, and know how to work with others to create pressure for change. You need to be a great communicator, able to build trusting relationships with frontline health workers, academics, partner organisations, and community groups alike - and you’ll have an eye for a good media story and know how to get it out into the world. 

How to apply

Please use the application form available on our website to upload a CV and a cover letter of no more than two A4 pages setting out why you are interested in the role, and how you meet the person specification.

The Operations Manager will work closely with the Program Director to launch and manage a new Science and Theology Entrepreneur Incubator program.This five-year program is designed to help individuals and IFES national movements – in Latin America and Africa – to initiate local projects that encourage deeper engagement between theology and other academic disciplines, in particular the sciences. The Operations Manager will be the person with primary responsibility for putting our plans for this project into action.

As well as having a good understanding of Christian student ministry, applicants should also be able to demonstrate an awareness and understanding of cross-cultural working, and the ability to overcome obstacles in order to ensure project delivery.
