If you are pro-choice, highly organised, excited by big challenges and committed to helping people access safe, legal abortions, then the new role of Operations and New Service Coordinator at Abortion Support Network (ASN) could be the next step for you. 

ASN is a small but mighty UK-registered charity supporting people who are forced to travel to access safe, legal abortions from places where they are unable to access the healthcare they deserve. Since 2009 ASN has been contacted by over 5,000 people from Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, Malta and Gibraltar. It’s an exciting time for ASN since the Irish referendum on repeal in 2018 brought change to Ireland, the Isle of Man also introduced abortion provision, and even in Northern Ireland the legislation changed in October this year. 

We’ve not hung up our helpline and we have no intention of doing so any time soon, while there are women and pregnant people close to home who need abortions. We’re committed to supporting the growth of the abortion funds movement, and to making sure that, until there is safe, legal, local abortion everywhere, activists like us are able to help people who need us. 

This new hire will join our existing staff team of c.90 active volunteers, CEO (0.8 FTE), Service & Volunteer Manager (FT) and our Bookkeeper (0.2 FTE). As Operations & New Service Coordinator you will play a crucial part in delivering ASN's existing services and supporting our brilliant volunteers. It's also an exciting opportunity to work closely with our existing staff to develop a new service that will provide support to even more people who cannot access the abortions they need at home. ASN is a small and dynamic organisation punching well above its weight - we have strong relationships with partners and collaborators, dedicated supporters and donors, and we're changing the lives of people who need abortions around Europe, and building the abortion funds movement. 

If you are interested in the role please read the job description and person specification below and submit your CV and a covering letter detailing how you would suit the role (each no more than two pages) before 9pm on Friday 6 December. Please note that any CVs sent without a covering letter will not be considered as a serious application.

OxFizz is a social enterprise that exists to bridge gaps in the UK’s education system, ensuring all students have fair access to top universities.

We know that even when they achieve the same grades as their peers, disadvantaged students are less likely to win places at top universities like Oxford and Cambridge. We exist to level this playing field – running a free programme of support to help the most disadvantaged students build the knowledge, skills and confidence to make successful applications to competitive universities.

We achieve this on a cross-subsidy, partnership model, working across the education sector. Where families and schools are fortunate enough to be able to pay for our services, we charge a fee. This work allows us to generate income, and crucially expertise, to make the same services available free of charge on our Access programme. We deliver this programme in partnership with some of the sector’s leading Access organisations, such as The Access Project, Villiers Park, IntoUniversity and Target Oxbridge. 

Volunteering is a fundamental part of this social mission. All our student support is delivered by a network of 150 volunteers. These volunteers are recent graduates, from Oxford, Cambridge and other top universities. We recruit, train and support our volunteers to deliver workshops, tutorials, and 1-1 practice admissions interviews with our students. This support largely takes place at weekend events in London and the South East, and at our Oxford-based summer school.

Our Volunteering Coordiantor role is a varied one and combines:

• Co-ordination of the volunteer recruitment and training process; 
• Strategic thinking about our volunteering offer; 
• Day-to-day management of volunteer communications and engagement;
• Event planning and delivery; 
• An active role as the external face of OxFizz to critical stakeholder groups.

You will plan for and deliver the recruitment of volunteers to support the delivery of our educational services. You will ensure each stage of the volunteer journey is smooth – from initial enquiries and sign ups, to induction and training, being matched with their first students, to delivering support at events, to reviewing and celebrating their success. You will motivate and mobilise volunteers to give their time to support our students.

The qualities that we are looking for are: 

• Passionate about university access for students from disadvantaged backgrounds; 
• Well-organised; 
• Strong inter-personal skills; 
• Takes responsibility for own work; 
• Data-informed. 

This role will require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check.
