About Midaye

Midaye was set up in 2002 by women from the local community. It is still, predominantly, a women-led and run organisation. Although still small (we have 17 paid staff), we have grown rapidly over the past 5 years: we have developed partnerships with local authorities, NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups, and other charities, and we have become known for our innovative community work on FGM, chronic health, and educational underachievement. We are valued contributors to local and national policy and academic research in our areas of work.

Despite our growth, we have retained our deep community links with some of the most marginalised groups in London. Our work supports multiply excluded members of the BME communities in Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster and Hammersmith and Fulham. We are now developing our work bringing small grassroots organisations together in response to local need, building capacity and delivering services with these partners.

We provide information, outreach, training, mentoring and/or support for a wide range of issues, including: health (physical, emotional and mental health), education, FGM, domestic violence and other issues. We also run supplementary schools for children and provide outreach to families needing parenting support. We offer befriending services for older people and empowerment programmes for women. We work across all these areas using an advocacy model. Our activities empower and support the most marginalised members of our communities; helping individuals to help themselves and have the knowledge to improve their life in a meaningful way. 

We are the UK’s leading ovarian cancer charity. We work to improve early diagnosis, fund life-saving research and provide much-needed support to women with ovarian cancer. We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Events Fundraiser.

Our goal is to double survival from ovarian cancer by 2050; our clear strategic plans and track record of success demonstrate our determination to succeed. Together we can transform the future for women with ovarian cancer. 

We are looking for an experienced, target-driven challenge events fundraiser who is ready to take the next step in their career and help us continue to grow income and reach ambitious targets. Though this role predominantly focuses on challenge events, there will also be an opportunity to work on some special events.

Benefits include 25 days' annual leave, rising to 27 days after 2 years, a 5 per cent employer pension contribution, a free employee assistance scheme, season ticket loans and regular training and support. We are based in modern offices in  London, EC1, with good transport links.

The Climate Change Group (CCG) at IIED is looking for a senior coordinator/project manager to provide administrative support to the Drylands Team portfolio of work, focussing on the Decentralised Climate Finance programme of work.

The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) is a policy and action research organisation promoting sustainable development and linking local priorities to global challenges. We are based in London and work on five continents with some of the world’s most vulnerable people to strengthen their voice in the decision-making arenas that affect them. With more than 130 members of staff working with associates and partners around the world, IIED has been at the forefront of evidence-based policymaking in sustainable development for nearly 50 years.

The Climate Change Group of IIED, in conjunction with our partners, seeks to secure an equitable deal for the poorest communities in developing countries who are exposed to increasingly severe and unpredictable weather events that can devastate communities, destroy livelihoods and exacerbate poverty. IIED emphasizes capacity strengthening through collaborative research with individuals and organizations in the South.

This role will support teams working on Public Policy for Climate Resilient Development, Decentralised Climate Finance and Drylands and will report to the relevant Programme Manager. The role will also provide coordination support to other teams on cross-Group programmes of work, ensuring the effective administration of projects, knowledge and communications, outputs and budgets.

To succeed in this role, you must have a degree or equivalent (a finance and/or project management qualification is desirable, though not essential).  Building on an already solid foundation of proven project management skills, you will manage the delivery of programmes, a portfolio of complex budgets and possess a solid background which shows your ability to lead on financial planning reporting, monitoring and procurement processes.  It therefore goes without saying that proficiency in numeracy and analytical skills with keen attention to detail is an essential requirement to perform well in this job.  You will also manage the Assistant Coordinator/s in this team.

Able to multi-task with a varied and demanding workload, you will use your strong organisational skills to provide the highest quality support, at times under pressure and working to tight deadlines, so a calm and positive attitude is a must.  As this role works across teams as well as groups, in addition to a high level of interaction with both internal and external (including international) stakeholders, it is crucial that the post-holder has a can-do and adaptable approach with communication and interpersonal skills rating second to none.

With workshops and international conferences being a part of the larger portfolio, it is important that you also have experience in event administration and are adept in the coordination of travel arrangements.  As the Institute works globally with partners, international donors and governments you will have worked with a diverse range of stakeholders from different backgrounds and cultures.

If you think the above fits with your experience, skills and knowledge and are excited to be a part of our work, we would love to hear from you.

For further information about the requirements of the role please see the job description.

Closing date: 6th October 2019

Interviews: 16/17 October or week commencing 21st October 2019

IIED aims to be an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all areas of the community. Please note, this post does not meet the minimum requirements for sponsorship of candidates who do not currently have the right to work in the UK; we can therefore only accept applications from those who can prove their eligibility to work in the UK.

About DMI

Development Media International (DMI) delivers media campaigns aimed at changing behaviours, promoting health and saving lives in developing countries. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours. DMI recently published the results of its 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Modelling indicates that over 3000 lives were saved during the campaign and that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives.

DMI has two priorities: first, to continue to generate ground-breaking research (we have just completed a second successful randomised control trial measuring our impact on contraceptive uptake), second, to take our proven strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition, hygiene, and early childhood development. DMI works in close partnership with leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund, Unorthodox Philanthropy and the Mulago Foundation.

We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus between science and creativity. DMI has demonstrated that knowledge is not only a human right, but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective way. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm and willingness to learn from both our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. Our ethos is non-hierarchical: all our staff are intellectually high-powered and we have a “best idea wins” culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on improving lives in low-income countries.

DMI has a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Tanzania and has recently expanded to Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda and Zambia. Its regional operations include five more countries in West Africa as well as Burundi. DMI’s headquarters overlooks the Regents Canal in Hoxton, London and provides the strategic direction for the whole organisation.

DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by GiveWell and was the first organisation to receive the maximum rating from Impact Matters. It is also endorsed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save.

DMI recently published the results of its 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Modelling indicates that over 3000 lives were saved during the campaign and that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives.

DMI has two priorities: first, to continue to generate ground-breaking research (we have just completed a second successful randomised control trial measuring our impact on contraceptive uptake), second, to take our proven strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition, hygiene, and early childhood development. DMI works in close partnership with leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund, Unorthodox Philanthropy and the Mulago Foundation.

We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus between science and creativity. DMI has demonstrated that knowledge is not only a human right, but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective way. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm and willingness to learn from both our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. Our ethos is non-hierarchical: all our staff are intellectually high-powered and we have a “best idea wins” culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on improving lives in low-income countries.

DMI has a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Tanzania and has recently expanded to Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda and Zambia. Its regional operations include five more countries in West Africa as well as Burundi. DMI’s headquarters overlooks the Regents Canal in Hoxton, London and provides the strategic direction for the whole organisation.

DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by GiveWell and was the first organisation to receive the maximum rating from Impact Matters. It is also endorsed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save. DMI’s funders include institutional funders (such as DFID, UNFPA, GCC and GIF) and large Foundations (Wellcome, Bernard van Leer Foundation and Jacobs Foundation).
