The Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) is the regulator for 15 health and social care professions. Our purpose is to protect the public. We maintain a register of health and care professionals who meet our standards for training, professional skills, behaviour and health, and take action if their fitness to practise is called into question. The HCPC currently regulates around 360,000 professionals.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals with strong decision-making skills, who have significant experience of applying guidance and policies to make appropriate and balanced decisions. The post-holders will have a sound understanding of professional regulation, and experience of providing comprehensive case directions and evaluations whilst working within a framework of legislation and operational procedures. We are looking for capable and effective communicators, who are able to explain complex decisions clearly both verbally and in writing.

The Senior Decision Makers in the Case Resolution and Preparation team evaluate and assess information received in the initial stages of our fitness to practise investigations to make sound decisions in line with our Threshold Policy. This role will require the post-holders to make high volumes of decisions autonomously, which stand up to scrutiny, and are of a high quality.

In addition to this work, the post-holders will be responsible for providing guidance and case direction to case management teams, to support the delivery of high quality and effective decision-making.

You will have significant experience of autonomous decision-making (preferably in a legal or regulatory environment), including demonstrable ability and understanding of applying legislation, guidance or policies, and making evidenced based decisions. You will have a high level of written English and verbal communication skills, and an ability to use your initiative to work effectively under pressure. Your strong communication skills will enable you to work effectively within a team and with your peers, to build and maintain positive relationships and assist colleagues by sharing and applying knowledge as required.

You will be able to demonstrate sound judgement, in circumstances where you will be required to analyse high volumes of case information. This will be particularly important as you will be required to make sound, evidence based decisions about the HCPC’s position when applying the Threshold Policy in written reports which will be sent to internal and external stakeholders.

All HCPC employees enjoy generous benefits, including 30 days annual leave. You can also take advantage of interest-free season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, our employee discounts on gym membership and a broad range of retail outlets and favourable consideration of flexible working. We are committed to workforce learning and development opportunities. 

Closing Date: 30 October 2020 (All vacancies will close at 1pm)

Interview Date: Week commencing 09 November 2020

Further information on this role is detailed in the job description and person specification.

The HCPC welcomes applicants from all sections of the community and we promote equality of opportunity, diversity and inclusion.

One in 20 adults in the UK has never learnt to read at all, but it is never too late to learn. Read Easy UK is a volunteer organisation that delivers one-to-one reading coaching to adults aged from 18-88 through a network of affiliated, locally-run volunteer groups.  

With its free, flexible, confidential approach, Read Easy encourages many people who are too embarrassed to join a class to come forward for one-to-one support. Each new reader is provided with their own personal Reading Coach, so that they can learn in private and at their own pace. Learning to read then transforms their lives in many other ways as well, including enabling them to support their children’s and grandchildren’s reading, and so transfers the benefits to the next generation.

There are currently 33 affiliated Read Easy groups across South West, Central and North West England, together involving around a thousand volunteers. Read Easy UK is the registered charity and umbrella organisation, based in north Gloucestershire, which supports this network of volunteer groups. In line with our newly-launched, ten-year strategic plan, we are now working to expand our reach across the whole of England over the next five years

As our London and South East Regional Adviser, you would network and publicise the opportunities Read Easy has to offer, both for volunteers and those who want to improve their reading. Your aim would be to find volunteers to ‘pioneer’ three new groups in your region each year, and then provide them, and our existing groups in the region, with high-quality support to ensure that they provide a consistently high quality experience for everyone they work with.

For this rewarding and dynamic role, you will need to have experience of working with volunteers; strong people management and interpersonal skills; excellent written and verbal communication skills; and the confidence to run meetings and deliver presentations and training. A background in adult literacy would be an advantage but not essential.

This is a part-time role for 15 hours per week, with the possibility of increased hours in the future as the work grows. Please note that this role is home-based, requires flexibility and involves regular travel and occasional evening and weekend working. The successful candidate will have been employed to work with volunteers for at least two years.

Salary: £25,425 per annum plus London weighting. Please note, this is the full time equivalent salary, and the part-time salary will be calculated pro rata. Pension scheme available.

To apply please provide a CV and covering letter. Your covering letter should systematically evidence how you meet each of the criteria and competencies on the person specification for this role in detail, point by point, in the order laid out above, and preferably under appropriate headings. Applications that do not provide this level of detail will not be considered.
The closing date for this post is Sunday 8th November 2020.

Evaluation Officers needed for the Youth Endowment Fund to help make the best decisions on which projects we fund and to design and execute the evaluations to learn about what works to prevent youth violence.

Reports to: Senior Evaluation Officer, Youth Endowment Fund

Salary: £36,461-£38,380

Location: Central London 

About the Youth Endowment Fund

The Youth Endowment Fund exists to prevent young people and children from becoming involved in violence.

In recent years there has been a significant increase in violent crime. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. For children and young people, there have been particularly large increases in those who are both the perpetrators and victims of offences involving knives. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. Founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business, we exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. Many organisations have this calling. Our unique role is to identify what works best and spread the good news. We do this by finding the very best ways to prevent youth violence, funding great initiatives and working to scale them up and spread great ideas.

Making this happen is a massive challenge. We will only succeed if we build a fantastic body of knowledge about youth violence and make it very accessible. Central to this is designing, commissioning and managing complex and rigorous impact evaluations with experts in the field, alongside working closely with key stakeholders and local areas to ensure that evidence changes policy and practice in a way that prevents young people from being caught up in crime.

As an integral member of our evaluation team, you will be part of making sure we make the best decisions about what we fund and we design and execute the evaluations to learn from it about what works to prevent youth violence.

Key responsibilities

The core of your job is to ensure that we evaluate excellently so that we can find out the very best ways to prevent young people and children from becoming involved in violence.

As an Evaluation Officer, you will:

• Support the evaluation team to design and implement the processes for assessing the quality of evidence underpinning applications people and organisations make for funding.
• Provide recommendations on which applications should be approved for funding based on your assessment.
• Choose the best evaluation partner for each project through launching invitations for our panel of evaluators to apply, assessing the technical quality of their applications and making recommendations, assisting with appointments and providing ongoing monitoring and quality assurance of their work with grantees.
• Lead the development of the evaluation design with grantees and evaluators, ensuring they put in place a plan to generate the best learning from the funded activity through workshops, consultative meetings and proposal reviews.
• Communicate frequently with evaluators, including regularly solving problems and making autonomous decisions about the projects you oversee.
• Review regular monitoring reports from evaluators and provide approval for payments, making sure their milestones are effectively achieved and the work stays on budget.
• When it comes time to develop and write the final evaluation report on a project, serve as the main point of contact for the evaluation partner, providing a rigorous review and feedback on the report and ensuring that it is an accurate reflection of the learnings from the project.
• Support the evaluation team in the development of the principles and protocols we need to deliver robust and respected evaluations.

• Contribute to making sure the evidence we produce is communicated in a clear and accessible way which will drive sustainable change. This is critical to everything we do at the Youth Endowment Fund.

About you

You are this sort of person:

• You are committed to preventing young people and children from becoming involved in violence:  You are passionate about the impact of prevention and early intervention. You don't want your days to pass without making a difference.
• You are experienced in evaluation: You have a strong knowledge and technical expertise in evaluation methodologies including the ability to critically appraise the design of randomised control trials and related approaches.
• You really know what makes great research and quality evidence:  You can design and draft high-quality research proposals including the sample, measurement and analysis. You are confident in assessing the quality of evidence that underpins interventions and can guide decisions on grant applications.
• You are an excellent communicator:  You can produce technical documents that accurately report methodological and statistical information. You will combine this with experience of communicating complex evidence and analysis in a simple and accessible format to non-experts.
• You are highly organised and like working in a team:  You have excellent project and time management skills with the ability to deliver high-quality work in a fast-paced environment. You are a valuable addition to any team by supporting others and working collaboratively. You are flexible and able to work on your own initiative.
• You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion: You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views and values.

You may have, but they are not essential:

• a post-graduate (Masters or PhD) qualification. This is in a relevant field such social science, social policy, public health, health services or other field, with a significant quantitative component, or relevant experience equivalent to a Masters qualification.
• good knowledge and understanding of crime, serious violence or other relevant areas: This could include areas such as child development, parenting or children’s mental health from fields such as psychology, neuroscience or education research. You know the facts, understand the issues, know the key people and can discuss the theories. You are knowledgeable on this topic and very at ease discussing it with experts.
• experience of commissioning evaluation and research: This includes managing research and analysis from external contractors. Experience designing and carrying out your own research would be an asset, as would experience of the ethical review process. It is even better if you have experience carrying out applied research methods including quantitative and qualitative approaches.

Then join Shelter as a Corporate Partnership Executive and you could soon be playing the leading role on a range of employee fundraising programmes.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change with individuals, in communities, across society and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

With around 100 staff and an income target of £42 million for 2019/20, our Income Generation Directorate has ambitious plans for growth in response to the national housing emergency over the coming years. The Corporate Partnerships Team is split into two teams: New Partnerships, which is responsible for generating income by securing new partnerships through a range of corporate fundraising mechanics and Partnership Management, whose role it is to manage and develop long term corporate partnerships. These particular roles sit in the latter.

About the Role
As well as having your own portfolio of designated corporate partnerships, we’ll count on you to support the team in managing major partnerships and projects to agreed targets and objectives. Along the way, you’ll work closely with external stakeholders, as well as teams from across Shelter, including Marketing, Media, Creative, Digital, Finance and Services.

What’s more, you know how to apply commercial and financial principles to improve business performance, while your sound project management skills will ensure the delivery and growth of your partnerships.

Proactive, creative and keen to learn, you have excellent interpersonal, listening and reporting skills and are great at engaging and winning people over and conveying complex ideas succinctly and persuasively.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
