End Violence and Racism Against East and Southeast Asian Communities (EVR)

End Violence and Racism Against East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) Communities (known as EVR) is an intergenerational organization whose mission is to prevent and address structural racism and inequality affecting ESEA communities in the UK. This is in the context of rising racism and discrimination towards all minoritised groups, with whom we seek to build allyship and solidarity.

We started out as a grassroots organisation during the Covid pandemic in 2020, in order to respond to the high level of racism experienced by people of ESEA ethnic origin. Following successful fundraising initiatives we are now building a team to enable EVR to deliver effective services and campaigns in line with its strategic goals.

Job purpose

We have an exciting opportunity to join our small but ambitious team and to make a real difference by delivering vital outreach initiatives for our hate crime reporting service, On Your Side.

On Your Side is the UK-wide support and reporting service for East and Southeast Asian communities who experience racism and/or any forms of hate.

Launched in August 2023, the service includes a 24/7 freephone helpline available in East and Southeast Asian languages; a website with reporting forms and resources; and ongoing community-based support delivered by trained casework advocates. We work to ensure that those who  experience racism and/or hate have access to the highest levels of culturally competent support while building a better picture of the nature and range of incidents so they can be better prevented.

Funded by the UK Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communities, On Your Side is delivered by a consortium of 9 organisations including national and community-based groups with expertise in hate crime reporting, hate crime prevention, and supporting East and Southeast Asian communities.

We are now recruiting an Outreach Officer to develop and deliver vital initiatives to raise awareness amongst ESEA communities about On Your Side, ultimately leading to a greater use of the service amongst the communities we serve. Reporting to EVR’s Head of Services and working closely with consortium colleagues, particularly the Service Manager based at Protection Approaches, you will develop and deliver a series of outreach initiatives including online and in-person events. You will manage the On Your Side Community Champions (volunteers) programme and develop engaging marketing materials to promote the service across the four nations of the UK. Engaging and working with ESEA and other organisations will be critical to the success of this role. 

If you are looking for a challenging and varied job with the chance to build your knowledge, skills and experience across a range of areas, we want to hear from you.

Tasks and responsibilities

• Manage the On Your Side Community Champions programme. This includes:
• Managing existing Community Champions – supporting them to raise awareness of On Your Side in their communities
• Recruiting new Community Champions and leading on training them how to raise awareness of the service with their networks
• Attending ESEA community events, promoting On Your Side by delivering engaging presentations and talks
• Event management – organising and delivering bespoke On Your Side awareness raising events in partnership with other organisations
• Reaching out to and engaging ESEA community organisations, developing meaningful working relationships with them
• Working with colleagues to create engaging digital and hard-copy marketing materials to promote On Your Side

This role presents an exciting opportunity to work cross-organisationally, leading and implementing employee experience projects and solutions that support the end-to-end employee life cycle!

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave.  We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About the role

As Employee Experience Partner, you'll be a strategic enabler to both the organisation and People Team, responsible for creating innovative, sustainable interventions that look to evolve the individual and group employee experience (EX) for our people for now and for our future workforce. 

Accountable for the end-to-end evaluation and improvement of the EX-journey, you'll work closely and proactively with stakeholders across the organisation to identify, deliver and review the impact of key EX initiatives that align with our People, Organisation's, and DEI strategies.

Leading customer-centric process design and engaging with colleagues to agree improvement activities driven by data, you'll play a key role in enabling teams to improve the ‘moments that matter' for our employees.

You'll also hold accountability for delivering “Your Voice”, SCUK's quarterly engagement survey, gathering employee feedback via Peakon (our survey partner) and analysing that data to identify trends and areas for improvement, as well as building on our employee data proposition, to identify and connect the relevant metrics to help us understand engagement, behaviour, and performance.

Ultimately, you'll be focused on building the best employee lifecycle that supports our employees at life and at work, creating an environment that every staff member can thrive in!

In this role, you will:

• Be responsible for the leadership and implementation of cross-divisional and organisation wide projects in the EX arena, to diagnose, design and implement a variety of solutions based on data and insights.
• Provide leadership and act as the role model on all matters relating to EX, especially enabling People Team colleagues to understand the employee journey and how they can contribute and support associated plans to become a reality for the organisation.
• Support the development of SCUK's Employee Value Proposition (EVP) reflective of the employer brand and aligned to our culture, mission and values.
• Review and create ways to measure and assess engagement, working in partnership with Comms to create a clear employee voice that is heard, aligned, and supports the employee value proposition/EX (through listening channels, surveys, and other methods of feedback).
• Identify opportunities to enable and leverage agility across teams and organisation, providing leadership on Agile principles and techniques. Specifically supporting HR change leads on blending and implementing the appropriate methods (Agile, Lean and Design Thinking) to deliver change at the pace required to meet SCUK objectives.
• Support and advise on the deployment of relevant IT systems and platforms to support in the engagement and development of employees.

 About you

You'll be an excellent relationship builder, demonstrating experience maintaining strong cross-organisational relationships and partnering at all levels, as well as ability to contribute effectively to a wider team strategy and change initiatives.

With high levels of self-management, you'll be committed to continuously learning, adapting, and responding to change, and working with others in an agile way. You will have a strong awareness and understanding of diversity and inclusion in the workplace and be able to demonstrate how you have embedded this into EX interventions and approaches in the past.

Joining us during an exciting period of organisational transformation, you'll be open-minded and comfortable working in an agile and emergent way. Above all, you'll be passionate about creating a culture and employee life cycle that ensures colleagues across SCUK can thrive!

To be successful, you'll bring:

• Extensive knowledge and understanding of Employee Experience and Engagement at all levels, from organisation wide, to team and individual employee level.
• Data driven approach: strong analytical, Design Thinking and research skills.
• Adaptability and systems thinking mindset, with excellent self and interpersonal awareness and resilience.
• Ability to see the ‘big picture' of how people and culture fit into SCUK's overall strategy and goals
• An agile mindset and philosophy, ideally with knowledge of Agile delivery
• Detailed knowledge and understanding of how to identify and use customer-centric data types and sources to analysis and assess areas for development; tailor interventions / support and review efficacy of interventions.

 What we offer you:

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
• We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. 

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis and reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter).  The People Team currently meet once a month in-person at our Farringdon office and other times will be based on business need. 

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
