ABOUT BRIGHTPIP

BrightPIP (Brighton Parent-Infant Psychological Therapy) is a specialist infant mental health charity supporting babies aged 0–2 and their families across Brighton & Hove and Sussex. We want every baby in our community to grow up feeling safe, healthy and loved. We provide early therapeutic intervention to strengthen relationships and prevent cycles of intergenerational trauma. We are a small, friendly and growing charity, supported by a dedicated clinical team and Trustee Board.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a trainee Infant and Early Years Practitioner (IEYP), on a course run in partnership with the Anna Freud Centre and University College London (UCL).

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a training role that is part of the NHS England (NHSE) funded CYP Psychological Trainings Therapy Programme (CYP-PT Therapy PGDip).  This intensive training post will equip practitioners with a comprehensive skillset to provide interventions to families using the latest evidence-based approaches. This will include training in Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting (VIPP) and supporting families where the child is experiencing regulatory difficulties.

FURTHER INFORMATION

This government-funded initiative promotes the growth and skill of the child mental health workforce to meet much needed demand. NHSE covers salary and training costs for a one-year full-time position, allowing services to employ trainees to support specialist pathways to bridge the gaps in CYP mental health support.

The role begins in January 2027 and the trainee will be both a fixed-term employee of BrightPIP and an enrolled student with UCL/Anna Freud. Upon completion, qualified trainees will receive a UCL Postgraduate Diploma. 

Training will be a mixture of in person, online sessions and self-study.

The training post will equip the post-holder to provide interventions for children, young people and families using evidence-based intervention consistent with the course they are attending.

We’re looking for a highly skilled individual who will help build on our relationships and networks across Westminster, to deliver ambitious political leadership on a range of issues. The post holder will be responsible for leading advocacy interventions and providing political support to our policy experts, with a focus on Transport and Resources policy.

As a senior political adviser within the politics team, you will also be involved with, and lead on, major projects or themes of work across the political leadership theme (including the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Environment (APPG), which Green Alliance holds the secretariat for), managing and developing key external relationships and supporting the Director of politics as they lead the politics team.

You will need to be an exceptional communicator, adept at bringing people together around a shared vision and have the interpersonal skills to inspire and work across Green Alliance and liaise with our extensive network of partners.

You will be a highly organised, capable multi-tasker with experience managing projects and able to think on your feet, while managing multiple relationships and advocating plans concurrently.

The role entails identifying and leading on opportunities for the UK government to achieve environmental progress and implementing advocacy strategies to secure it. You will have direct access to senior policy makers and environmental leaders, so will need to articulate recommendations succinctly and persuasively.

The role requires excellent understanding of UK political processes (especially in Westminster, parliament and Whitehall) and experience of using it to influence policy effectively. Experience of operating within the system or of working directly with politicians and the media to achieve policy change would be a distinct advantage.

Hours: Full time

Pay: £34,700 GBP gross per annum (dependent on experience)

Location: UK-Med Office, Manchester, UK (hybrid working) with an expectation of approximately 15% international travel/deployment, as required by UK-Med

Can you help ensure lifesaving medical supplies reach the people who need them when disaster strikes?

UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity founded on the values and expertise of the NHS. For more than 30 years, we have worked towards a world where everyone gets the healthcare they need when emergencies overwhelm local health services.

We are looking for a Medical Procurement and Logistics Coordinator to strengthen the way we procure, manage and move essential medical supplies and equipment for our humanitarian programmes and emergency responses.

Based primarily at our Manchester warehouse, you will provide dedicated capacity across our Procurement and Warehouse teams, coordinating the full supply-chain pathway from purchasing and receipt through to storage, stock management, shipping and dispatch.

With a particular focus on pharmaceuticals, medical consumables and medical equipment, you will help maintain accurate, compliant and deployment-ready stock. Working closely with our Supply Chain Manager, Warehouse Manager and Pharmacist, you will support the day-to-day operational management of medical commodities while ensuring appropriate pharmaceutical standards and controls are followed.

We’re looking for an organised and solutions-focused supply-chain professional with experience across procurement, inventory management, warehousing or logistics. You will be confident working with suppliers, maintaining accurate stock and procurement records and coordinating activities across different teams. Experience handling medical supplies, pharmaceutical products or equipment would be particularly valuable.

The role requires approximately 15% international travel and deployment—normally around six to eight weeks per year. During deployments, you may support procurement, warehouse and stock management, international shipping, distribution and emergency resupply, working closely with clinical, logistics and programme colleagues.

You’ll join a collaborative team and play a vital role in strengthening the systems that enable UK-Med to respond quickly and effectively when emergencies happen.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits, a friendly working environment and the opportunity to make a real difference through humanitarian work.
