Want to help scale up some of the best innovations to social problems?

Do you want to support us to scale up solutions to the world’s most pressing social needs? Interested in working in an innovative, flexible and dynamic team? We’re looking for someone to join our UK team as a Consultant.

The organisation

Spring Impact is an organisation with a bold social mission.

We work with social impact projects around the world that are doing truly transformative work but are frustrated that they are reaching fewer people than they could. We help these organisations develop the plans, the systems and the processes they need in order to reach many more people.

We support organisations primarily through direct consultancy with charities and social enterprises. We also run training and publish tools supporting mission-driven organisations to understand how they can scale and reach more people. We also aim to influence the sector, with a focus on trusts and foundations, to create an environment that supports mission-driven organisations with proven solutions to scale them up. 

Spring Impact is a registered charity, but one that operates with bags of entrepreneurial drive. We are innovative, imaginative and highly skilled in doing a lot with a little. The team you will be joining are an exceptional bunch who have been drawn from highly successful careers in a variety of fields and who have chosen to focus their talents on scaling social impact.

The role

We are looking for someone to join our dynamic and growing UK consultancy as a Consultant. You will proactively support our Senior Consultants and Managing Consultants to ensure effective engagement with clients. You will work across a diverse portfolio of mainly national and some international projects, across sectors from healthcare and homelessness to education and humanitarian aid; typically working on 3-4 client projects at once.

As we work collaboratively with our clients and really take the time to get to know them; you will have the opportunity to travel across the UK and internationally to meet them wherever they are based. However, due to Covid-19 we have suspended all national and international travel and have been working remotely since March. This is subject to continuous review as the government guidelines and situation around Covid-19 changes. As part of the client team, you will apply your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help our clients determine how they can best scale their impact.

You will be confident in taking responsibility for your own work and communicating complex information, and will be driven by the opportunity to learn and develop within the role.

Other details

• Salary: starting at £26,700 per annum. Salary may be negotiable dependent on previous consultancy experience
• Work location is The Hoxton, Southwark (40 Blackfriars Rd, South Bank, London SE1 8NY)
• Starting from August 2021
• You will need existing permission to work in the UK
• Full time, with option for part time (3 days per week plus)

Deadline and interview dates

Deadline for application: 5 pm, Wednesday 26 May 2021.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited for a short telephone interview, taking place the week commencing Monday 7 June 2021.

A smaller shortlist will then be invited to a final interview taking place on Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 June 2021.

Please keep these dates free and be aware that there will be a short notice period before each interview. 

Diversity

Spring Impact understands that in order to provide the best possible advice to our diverse client base across a wide range of sectors, we are strongest when our team has a variety of experience, expertise, and insights to draw from. For us, diversity isn’t merely a strategy: it’s an essential part of our organisational success. We are committed to ensuring that Spring Impact is representative of our society at large, and is an inclusive environment for all, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, disability, and socioeconomic background.

Flexible working

Because we understand that an office-based 9-to-5 will not suit everyone, staff at Spring Impact are encouraged to make use of our generous flexible working policy. Wherever possible we aim to give each person responsibility to choose when and where they work, and to find the right balance between office-based and home working. We are also happy to discuss further accommodations you may require to fulfil this role.

We are open to hearing from candidates that would prefer a part-time role, as long as the candidate is able to work at least 3 days a week.

BACKGROUND

Over the past 80 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has developed unparalleled expertise in responding to emergencies and helping uprooted communities to rebuild. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

The International Rescue Committee UK is part of the IRC global network, which has its headquarters in New York and London. The IRC is on the ground in more than 40 countries, providing emergency relief, relocating refugees and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster. Through over 20 regional offices in cities across the United States, the IRC also helps refugees resettle in the US and become self-sufficient.

The IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and, most crucially, accountability to those we serve. The IRC is a tireless advocate for the most vulnerable.

IRC-UK

Our European headquarters, IRC-UK, were established in London in 1997 to support the organisation’s global activities and particularly to diversify its donor base and be able to better advocate with European policy-makers on behalf of the people we serve. Since its establishment IRC-UK has grown rapidly and is now acknowledged for its high quality project management, technical expertise in governance and rights and economic recovery, and innovative thinking on early recovery and gender based violence. IRC-UK comprises approximately 120 staff.
