CLDF is a small, unique national charity which punches well above its weight. With a rare condition such as childhood liver disease, information is key and CLDF provides an unrivalled and respected information hub which is as valuable to medical professionals as it is to newly diagnosed young people and their families.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the review and development of patient and parent resources, including literature and apps, whilst keeping the CLDF team informed of relevant research in the field and its subsequent dissemination to supporters.  The role will be responsible for managing our research hub which supports patients and families to improve the design of research applications made by external groups. The Information and Research Hub Manager is responsible for CLDF’s health information campaigns, including our renowned Yellow Alert campaign to promote the early identification of liver disease in newborn babies; and will elicit the views of our families and young people on a wide range of policy related issues to help inform our  lobbying  work and create meaningful change.

Our close relationship with our beneficiaries means we have a valuable contribution to make to discussions about developments in treatment on a national and international level with organisations including NICE, Public Health England, RCPCH and BSPHGAN. At the same time, the comprehensive yet clear information we provide to families when they need it most is often the gateway to an ongoing relationship with the charity, making this role a pivotal one in a small but committed team

Educated to degree standard with experience of delivering health information to the public through a variety of mediums, including using digital technologies, you will need to demonstrate that you have a thorough knowledge of the workings and structures within the NHS.  The successful candidate will need to demonstrate the ability to work in a team, be capable of working independently with initiative and achieve targets and support the charity to achieve its overall mission.

RoSA are seeking a Clerk to the Board of Trustees to provide effective administrative support to the Board, ensure the Board of Trustees is properly constituted, manage information effectively in accordance with legal requirements and provide procedural and governance advice to the Board of Trustees.

About the Role

As a Trainer in St John Ambulance’s Workplace Training team, you will be responsible for delivering and assessing a variety of First Aid and Health & Safety training courses.

While the main requirement is to train our 1,2 and 3-day first aid courses, we are also the country’s leading provider of Fire Marshal and IOSH Managing Safely training and are fast-becoming the premier provider of mental health and wellbeing programmes. All our trainers deliver the first aid suite and for that we need candidates to have a level 3 assessing and teaching/training qualification (such as CiLD).

Our courses receive incredible customer satisfaction ratings because they are the best on the market delivered by passionate, well-trained, adaptable trainers in cohesive teams supported by expert advice and guidance. We are an organisation that truly believes in giving delegates not just the certificate, but the skills and confidence to make a difference when the time comes. We do that by making our courses interactive, enjoyable and practical as well as assessing understanding throughout the course. We also all seek to live our values every day, those of humanity, excellence, accountability, responsiveness, and teamwork. If that sounds like something you could fit into, then please get in touch.

Most of the time you would be working in one area and on weekdays in our training venues (we have around 200 across the country), in addition you would run courses on customer premises and travel to other areas when necessary (so you need to be able to get yourself there, with the required equipment) and occasionally do courses at weekends or in the evening.

Please see the job description for more detail (this can be viewed on our website or once you click apply)

Summary of what we are looking for:

· Trainers with an Assessing and Training Qualification at Level 3 or above (eg CiLD)

Head of Curriculum

£50,000

Full time (negotiable)

London, Manchester, Birmingham (with some remote working flexibility)

Unlocked Graduates is an award-winning organisation that aims to change the way we develop society’s future leaders, as well as how we think about prisons and prisoners by focusing on rehabilitation and addressing the damage and cost of reoffending.

The Role

This role presents a unique opportunity in the curriculum job market. As Head of Curriculum, you will oversee the design and development of an entire two-year programme of study that develops our participants into transformative prison officers and leaders. You will lead a team to produce curriculum (in person, digital and online) which will empower our participants with the knowledge and capabilities to work with prisoners to dismantle the damaging cycles of reoffending that are so costly to those individuals and broader society.

For Unlocked, the mission is central. You will work closely with our recruitment and programme teams to ensure a seamless transition from their blue-chip recruitment experience, through their initial six-week training (Summer Institute) and onwards through the two-year leadership development programme. This includes their Master’s degree in Applied Custodial Leadership and their ongoing training throughout the two years. The goal of the programme is to enable Unlocked officers to maximise impact on the frontline in prisons and to drive change at an individual, prison and system-wide level.

You do not need prior knowledge of prisons or prison officer training to successfully take on this role. You will be supported by current and former prison service staff and have access to all the information and resources you require to build your knowledgebase quickly. You will be required to have a strong understanding of up-to-date research and evidence on how people learn and how to build practice into training.

It’s important that our resources are thoughtfully sequenced and research informed. You’ll be in charge of designing and implementing approaches to training that maximise learning and embody the Unlocked mission. This includes design of all our online and face-to-face training suites, an online preparation unit, and required pre-reading. Another key element will be developing the train-the-trainer programme so our experienced prison officers can teach effectively. Upskilling these staff requires expert understanding of teaching and learning and an ability to work with people who are novice trainers.

You will play a key role in the broader management of the MSc qualification, working closely with our university partner and ensuring quality and ongoing improvements take place. You will also line manage two full-time roles as well as one secondment and be responsible for motivating and developing these staff members.
