We are looking for a Senior Advisor: Evidence and Evaluation who will work to ensure Frontline AIDS generates and uses evidence for quality programmes and strategic decision-making.

About us

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for 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 Frontliner we’re looking for?

You are a committed team member with a clear focus on team objectives, as well as your own. You will promote best practice within your field of expertise and challenge ways of working to ensure the highest quality and levels of efficiency. Your actions will be aligned with Frontline AIDS vision and you will inspire the same behaviour in your peers. You are comfortable working in a matrix management environment.

The roles can be based at either of our projects, in Brighton or Manchester, and will involve regular travel between both areas and nationally. The role will include supporting the development of new and existing Temporary Accommodation Action Groups, gathering and sharing of information and learning related to UTA and developing potential solutions.

Research and Policy Team
The aim of the Research and Policy Team is to influence the housing and homelessness sector to ensure stays in unsupported temporary accommodation (UTA) are as short, safe and healthy as possible. Since 2013 Justlife have carried out research and produced reports including on the effects on the health and wellbeing of people placed in UTA, recommendations of solutions to the challenges faced by local authorities, landlords and support services, as well as mapping the provision of UTA across England.
The research and policy work build on local frontline services in Brighton and Manchester that support adults experiencing housing vulnerability, many of which face complex and multiple disadvantage. It uses learning from the services and wider research it carries out to influence policy and systems change for residents of UTA on a local and national level, as well as within the Justlife services.
One of the key recommendations in the ‘Not Home’ report was the development of Temporary Accommodation Action Groups across the country. The UTA Network has been developed as a means for Justlife to support local areas, organisations and individuals, to set up and run Temporary Accommodation Action Groups as well as sharing knowledge and experience, gain a better understanding of the national picture and provide a stronger platform on which to campaign for change in the sector.
