We have a rare opportunity to join our team in a key strategic and operational role as Programme Manager. Working as part of a Collaborative, Responsive, Enterprising, Playful and Reflective team (Our Values!), you will lead and develop our projects and programmes with young people and adults for the South London communities we serve.

We believe that music and media, delivered in a socially and culturally relevant way, have the power to positively change and shape people’s lives. Our purpose-built 3-story base in Brixton houses recording studios, a band rehearsal space, a production suite with top industry standard tech and software. Our work takes place mainly onsite with some community-based work in hospitals or at events.

This opportunity comes at a really exciting time for Raw Material. We are soon returning to our own building which by the end of 2024 will be refurbished via a £1.1m capital fundraising campaign to improve our operational capabilities and develop income generation opportunities and new facilities for the community, with a coworking offer and an increased hires and events programme.

Who we are

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for over 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.

Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:

• That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
• That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.

Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.

As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.

Are you the Candidate we’re looking for?

Your mission is to review, develop and enhance people policies to truly reflect the multinational, multi-cultural reality of working in Frontline AIDS. You will be a fully integrated part of the People Team but will be focused entirely on developing, writing and training all colleagues in the team in new and revised people policies. You are confident and competent in juggling the multiple demands on your time. You enjoy playing a strategic role, managing complex stakeholders, and delivering key tasks. You are astute at spotting issues and tackling them before they become problems. In this role you will interact with colleagues at all levels of our organisation and, with a friendly and approachable attitude, you will be committed to making Frontline AIDS a great place to work not just through the policies you deliver but also in how you deliver them. Your actions will be aligned with Frontline AIDS values and behavioural framework, and you will inspire the same behaviour in those around you.

Welcome to Aquarius as a Service User Participation Worker.

Among your challenges will be the need to ensure general service user participation and empowerment is implemented across the service to help adults and young people who use it have input into service delivery decision making and development. You’ll also be responsible for supporting the recruitment, placement and retention of volunteers. And, when it comes to creating a strategy for obtaining service user feedback or playing your part in wider organisational forums and groups, again, we will count on you to deliver.

To succeed, you’ll need broad experience of working with volunteers/peer mentor service users and promoting their needs, including within the substance misuse sector.

Aquarius was a subsidiary of Richmond Fellowship, with both organisations being part of Recovery Focus, a national group of charities highly experienced in providing specialist support services to individuals and families living with the effects of mental ill health, drug and alcohol use, gambling and domestic violence. On 1st June 2024 Richmond Fellowship merged with Humankind to form a single organisation that provides the joined-up mental health, housing and drug and alcohol support we’ve all known has been needed for decades. At the same time, Aquarius became a subsidiary of Humankind, with no impact to terms and conditions of employment. In October 2024, Humankind will be renamed to reflect the new organisation, of which Aquarius will remain a subsidiary.

Are you passionate about delivering change?
Are you interested in empowering the voice of students, particularly those from marginalised backgrounds?
Do you want to be involved in the delivery of a democratic system so innovative that it is the source of an international academic study?
 

If so, this might just be the role for you!
 

Armed with a bold and exciting new strategy that is seeking to make LSESU the definitive, reliable and credible advocate for students, this role is central to the forward-thinking work that will be taking place at LSE over the coming months and years.
 

With highly engaged students who are passionate about making change, you could be involved in some of the most exciting work in the sector.
 

This role sits within the Representation Team and so you will also be heavily involved in the planning, delivery and evaluation of key work across the team, including our biannual student elections, sector-leading Student Panels, and many other cross-organisational research projects, events, and activities.
 

Given the breadth of work undertaken within the team, expect there to be plenty of opportunities to grow, develop and pick up new skills outside of the main responsibilities of the role.
 

You would be joining a fantastic and friendly team of three other Student Voice Coordinators (SVCs). All SVCs have similar Job Descriptions (JDs), but the focus of each SVC will be different i.e. our policy-focussed SVC would be most involved with the Policy subsection of the JD, whereas this democracy & governance-focused role would be most involved with the Democracy & Governance subsection of the JD. However, we expect all our SVCs to pivot between different areas as needed. 
 

Who are we looking for?
 

The successful applicant will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and take a creative approach to problem solving. Above all the role is varied and dynamic, so we’re looking for someone who is able to juggle multiple priorities with positivity and enthusiasm, who has strong planning and organisational skills, meticulous attention to detail, and who relishes the opportunity to be challenged and to find innovative ways to take on new endeavours.
 

You’ll also be a genuine team-player, someone who looks out for their colleagues, supports them when they need help and who throws themselves into the larger cross-team and cross-organisational activities as they come up.
 

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
 

Why apply?
 

Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces. Plus...

● 25 days holidays per year
