The Cares Family is an anti-racist organisation committed to advancing anti-racism. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, who are under-represented in our organisation. We are an equal opportunities employer.

ABOUT THE CARES FAMILY

The Cares Family’s mission is to help people find connection in a disconnected age. Our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst younger and older people alike; improve people’s connection, belonging, purpose and power in a rapidly changing world; and bring people together to reduce social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

Those relationships have had a dramatic impact. 98% of young people involved say they have a stronger connection to the community. 73% of older neighbours involved say their isolation is reduced; 86% are better able to appreciate the changing world; and 77% say their relations with young people have improved. Neighbours report feeling reduced loneliness, improved understanding across generations, a deeper sense of belonging, and “part of something bigger”.

But as the Covid-19 pandemic has shown, loneliness is not just a personal crisis for younger and older people; it’s also a broader public health crisis and a national political crisis. So, as well as improving individual lives and community togetherness, The Cares Family has started to have an impact at the systemic and cultural levels too – through storytelling and campaigning work that are rapidly increasing our profile and making an even bigger difference.

We are therefore at a moment of opportunity to make an even bigger difference in the year ahead. We plan to do that with our ‘Action, Voice, Power’ strategy – increasing our local action with new projects, raising up the voices of human experience through new communications and campaigns, and working to ensure national and local government make new investments to reduce loneliness, and build connections across perceived divides.

ABOUT OUR IMPACT AND LEARNING

The Cares Family has undergone four external evaluations which demonstrate the impact of our work. However, measuring the value of human relationships, which are necessarily subjective, in a way that is simultaneously scientific, community-led and respectful of people’s full stories, is challenging.

We are therefore seeking to build on the learning from our four evaluations, to embed impact evaluation techniques that are consistent with our community-first philosophy, and to do so in a way that challenges top-down evaluation approaches which can be reductive and isolating.

To do so, we need to raise the bar on our monitoring and evaluation, data capture and analysis; to set up better processes to analyse and evaluate that data for learning purposes; and to put in place an organisational Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning framework to enable us to better measure our outcomes.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

We are therefore seeking a Head of Impact and Learning with a solid understanding of monitoring and evaluation approaches as well as systems, data, analysis and, crucially, people.

This is a new role and an exceptional opportunity for an innovative social researcher to design and develop simultaneously values-led and robust evaluation. Working closely with our delivery teams and with input from our neighbours, you will embed outcomes monitoring into our day-to-day activities, and evaluate our programmes and projects in a meaningful way.

Job Description

The curriculum lead will make a significant contribution to the development of the teaching, learning and assessment (grading and observation of practice and academic components) on Frontline’s programmes. The Curriculum Lead will also be primarily involved with delivery of teaching materials in various settings, including at the summer institute, recall days and in unit teaching. You will play a key role in the development of Practice Tutors and Consultant Social Workers, running briefings on curriculum areas, developing teaching skills, undertaking observations of teaching, unit meetings, individual and group coaching sessions.

This is a varied and exciting role in an ambitious organisation.

You will  be passionate about teaching and learning and have a deep interest in social work education. You will have expertise in parenting interventions with children and families and expert knowledge in attachment theory, mentalisation, trauma and social learning theory.

• £40,000-£43,000 (FTE; dependent on experience; contract or day rates will be considered)

ABOUT THE CARES FAMILY

But as the Covid-19 pandemic has shown, loneliness is not just a personal crisis for younger and older people; it’s also a broader public health crisis and a national political crisis. It affects millions of people – from people newly working from home or cooped up in university halls, to new parents; middle aged men to digitally savvy teenagers; LGBT+ people to new migrants. In fact, those who are already marginalised in society experience its consequences the most.

So, as well as improving individual lives and community togetherness, The Cares Family has started to have an impact at the systemic and cultural levels too – through storytelling and campaigning work that are rapidly increasing our profile and making an even bigger difference.

In 2018, the then Prime Minister launched the government’s first ever loneliness strategy (which we lobbied for and helped shape) at a Cares Family social club. We have received coverage in The Economist, The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph and on BBC1’s News at Ten and Channel 4 News, as well as support from Russell Howard and Florence and the Machine. And in 2018, our Founder and CEO was appointed one of 20 inaugural Obama Fellows, bringing new attention to our issues and work.

We are therefore at a moment of opportunity to make an even bigger difference in the year ahead. We plan to do that with our ‘Action, Voice, Power’ strategy – increasing our local action with new projects, raising up the voices of human experience through new campaigns, and working to ensure national and local government make new investments to reduce loneliness, and build connections across perceived divides.

ABOUT OUR CAMPAIGNS PLANS

That’s why we are looking for a Campaigns Lead to put rocket boosters under our systemic and cultural impact. Specifically, you will work with our CEO to develop and execute a cross-party, public-facing campaign coalition, which is already in development, to rally public and political support for a major government investment in building connection over the next generation; with our creative Programmes teams to enable local intergenerational activism in London, Liverpool, Manchester and other places to help build togetherness and change systems locally; and with our innovative Projects team to guide national campaigns like Intergenerational Week.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

We are looking for someone who:

• Has significant and proven experience driving change at the national level – and knows how to build the campaign architecture, narratives, relationships, coalitions and media coverage to affect national policy change in Westminster.
• Is collaborative – and knows how to bring together and coordinate a coalition of organisations with their own distinct goals to create a coherent, powerful message that will achieve its goal.
• Knows how to mobilise people – through clear, actionable ‘asks’ of the public, online and offline, and by bringing our neighbours, teams, partners and politicians with them.
• Has the expertise to appraise data, create targeted emails and social media content that motivate people to take action, and tell beautiful stories that inspire change.
