Job Title: Programme Officer

BACKGROUND

Health Poverty Action works for health and global justice in partnership with people who have been marginalised and pushed into poverty.

We work with communities to help them demand their right to health and to challenge the power imbalances that deny them their health rights. Our distinct approach can be summarised as a combination of three areas:

We approach health as an issue of social justice

Health is a Human Right that many are currently denied. The greatest causes of poor health worldwide are political, social and economic injustices. This is a global scandal which causes unnecessary suffering on a massive scale.

We tackle these complex root causes of social injustice in two ways. Firstly, we work in partnership with communities to help them take back the power to improve their own health. Secondly, we campaign on a national and international level to change policy, and destroy unjust power relations.

We prioritise those missed out by others

We believe in health for all, without exclusion. Development organisations tend to cluster together, which leaves large populations with almost no support at all. People may be living in hard to reach areas, or are difficult to support for some other reason. We make these most neglected populations our highest priority.

We address the full range of factors which impact on health

Health is a combination of physical, mental and social wellbeing. As well as strengthening health services we work on areas such as nutrition, water, sanitation, gender discrimination, and income generation. Tackling one cause of poor health in isolation can give the appearance of improving health in the short term, but tackling numerous factors together saves lives.

We are acutely aware of how our own power dynamics as an organisation impact on the people we work with, and we work in partnership with communities to create long term relationships built on trust.

In 2017 we formed a strategic partnership with Find Your Feet. The partnership ensures Find Your Feet’s livelihoods work will continue through Health Poverty Action.

We are also proud to be one of the small number of organisation recognised as being structurally part of the global People’s Health Movement. This quote from the founding document of this movement, the People’s Health Charter, sums up the essence of Health Poverty Action’s values and identity:

“Health is a social, economic and political issues and above all a fundamental human right. Inequality, poverty, exploitation, violence and injustice are at the root of ill-health and the deaths of poor and marginalised people. Health for all means that powerful vested interests have to be challenged, and that political and economic priorities have to be drastically changed. This Charter encourages people to develop their own solutions, and to hold accountable local authorities, national governments, international organisations and corporations.

ABOUT BITE BACK 2030

Be part of the creative and agile team behind Bite Back 2030’s exceptional teenage activists. Join us as our Finance and Operations Officer and contribute to a 10-year journey to help make the food system healthier and fairer and achieve our goal of halving childhood obesity by 2030.

Young people today are up against a flood of unhealthy food, pouring out of our highstreets, supermarkets and school canteens. As a result processed foods, snacks, soft drinks and takeaways, are playing too big a role in their lives.  Junk food is cheap and easy to access at a time when 3.3m young people under the age of 18 have overweight or obesity. Rates among our poorest are double those of our wealthiest young people.

Covid-19 has only further served to highlight the injustices in the food system and sharpen the focus on the impact obesity has on health outcomes.  There is a political moment now to accelerate change.

We believe young people are the key voice in driving this change in our food system.  It is a really exciting time to join the organisation - we are still a start-up but with ambitious plans for growth and impact.  Co-founded by Jamie Oliver and launched in October 2019, our Youth Board have already had campaign successes on a  range of issues including Free School Meals, a 9pm watershed on television junk food advertising and post-Brexit trade.

Evolve Counselling (working name ‘Evolve’) is a long-established charity with a successful track record. Our business model is to provide high quality counselling to corporate clients at full cost, generating a surplus to pay for low-cost, high quality counselling for private individuals who can’t afford going rates for counselling sessions. 

We have been steadily growing for the last 43 years and over that time the environment in which we operate has changed dramatically. Under the outgoing Director we have largely completed a far-reaching programme of governance, management and systems reform. We now require a leader to manage and grow the charity, to develop and implement a comprehensive fundraising and income-generation strategy and to ensure robust governance.

Like so many charities we were hit by Covid19, but we have comprehensive recovery plans in place. One of these is to place increased emphasis on business development and fundraising. The new Director will work closely with the Business Development Manager and fundraising consultants to diversify and increase the charity’s income.

Evolve is looking for an experienced professional with proven ability to manage a small team of professional staff, engage positively with a wide range of stakeholders, attract funds, and generate income through fundraising. The Director will lead a small and dedicated team to provide the necessary vision, leadership, and fundraising skills which will enable the organisation to achieve its strategic and operational plans and meet fundraising targets.

If you have experience in the voluntary sector, an understanding of mental health challenges and have the ability to lead, collaborate, network and inspire we would love to hear from you. An enhanced DBS check is required for the role.
