Birth Companions is a charity that supports women experiencing multiple disadvantage during the perinatal period in the community in London and the southeast, and in prisons across the country.

Our work aims to improve the lives of mothers and babies by:

- improving the mental health and well-being of pregnant women and new mother
- enabling new mothers to give their babies the best possible start in life
- empowering women to fulfil their potential through engagement
- driving improvements in the local and national policy and practice that impacts on mothers and their babies.

By working towards these aims, we hope that all women who face disadvantage and inequality during this crucial point in their lives will have the support they need to give their baby the best possible start, and to fulfil their own potential, whatever their circumstances. 

Birth Companions’ values have shaped the organisation’s approach from the outset and are still as important to us as ever. We are a women’s organisation built on feminist principles, delivering woman-to-woman support. Choice, empowerment and protecting women’s rights have always been central to the way we work. Through the work of our staff and trained volunteers we offer practical and emotional support before, during and after birth. We work in a woman-centred way that is trauma-informed, flexible and non-judgemental, basing our support on what a woman tells us she needs. 

Work across our frontline services shows us what matters to women, and where things can and should be better in the care they receive from others. Based on these insights, we commission academic and peer-led research and direct the attention of local and national policy-makers, commissioners and service providers to what needs to change, and how. Everyone at Birth Companions plays a role in this. Communication and collaboration between our frontline practitioners, policy and engagement staff and the women in our Lived Experience Team means we are able to identify and monitor issues and themes and draw on learning in order to feed them into conversations with senior stakeholders across maternity, criminal justice, social services and immigration. In this way we ensure our policy and influencing work is rooted in the day-to-day experiences of women and what will make most difference to them and their babies. 

The Criminal Justice Services Manager will manage and develop all aspects of Birth Companions’ criminal justice-based services and line-manage the criminal justice services Coordinators, (currently three staff members but this likely to increase as we expand our services).

They will develop and maintain strategic partnerships with other relevant agencies and ensure the successful delivery of services through internal monitoring and evaluation, external evaluation and the charity’s governance structures.

The Criminal Justice Services Manager will be responsible for contributing to the development and implementation of new prison and wider criminal justice system-based services through stakeholder engagement and service design where opportunities are identified.

The Criminal Justice Services Manager will also contribute to the policy, engagement and strategic work of the organisation where appropriate.

ABOUT US

School of Hard Knocks (SOHK) is an education charity that exists to empower and support young people living in complex and challenging circumstances. We use rugby to foster an environment of genuine acceptance, where the sport becomes a platform for participants to improve their confidence, communication skills, commitment, self-control, and ability to work effectively within a team. Through group learning and one-to-one mentoring, SOHK helps young people (re)engage with education and safeguard their wellbeing.

Ninety percent of our participants report feeling more confident and more engaged with school after taking part - with long-term effects on attendance, attainment, and life outcomes. Find out more about our Schools Programme here.

SOHK is at a new and exciting stage of development. Having delivered its programmes to thousands of adults and young people over the past 13 years, in 2024 we chose to focus solely on working in schools. This shift responds to a dramatic rise in need among young people in the UK, many of whom are struggling to navigate adolescence amid rising poverty, a mental health crisis, and increasing isolation.

We plan to double the number of young people engaging with our programmes over the next five years. We are also making significant investments in our impact function, to better understand how we can maximise the benefits for participants and attract more attention and investment to social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions.

Are you passionate about leading and shaping an advice service dedicated to supporting and empowering Disabled people? Do you want to use your expertise to grow a small team into a leading provider of high-quality, accessible advice?

This role would suit someone already working in an advice role seeking career development OR someone with experience managing advice services. We particularly welcome applications from Disabled people with lived experience, in line with our commitment as a Disabled people’s user-led organisation.

You will foster a positive and inclusive team environment where staff and volunteers feel valued and empowered to thrive. You will be proactive in developing the service, preparing information to support funding bids, and thinking creatively about how we meet the needs of Camden’s diverse Disabled community.

The role is advertised as hybrid as some in-person presence in the office will be essential at the Greenwood Centre in London NW5 1LB.

About Camden Disability Action (CDA)

At Camden Disability Action, we believe in a world where no one is disabled by society. As a Disabled people’s user-led organisation, our work is driven by the lived experience of Disabled people and grounded in the Social Model of Disability.

We don’t just support individuals to solve immediate problems; we proactively challenge the systems that create inequality and exclusion.

Our Advice Service is central to this mission. We see advice as more than form filling or casework. It is a powerful tool to support rights, autonomy, and independent living. Through advice, we help Disabled people navigate complex systems, claim their entitlements, and take action. We listen carefully to their experiences to reveal wider societal barriers. This insight helps us influence policy, push for change, and collaborate with partners to make services more inclusive.

We are a medium-sized and growing charity. Our Advice Service is small but ambitious. We currently have one full-time Advisor and deliver a specialist service for d/Deaf people in partnership with deafPLUS. The Advice Manager will lead the development of the service to better reflect and respond to Camden’s diverse disabled communities.
