Value: £80,000 (VAT inclusive)

Closing date: 9am, Monday 19 July 2021

St Giles is seeking an experienced, flexible independent evaluator who can plan and deliver the second phase of evaluation of the St Giles Peer Advisor Network.

We are excited to tender for this vital stage of our work, and want to hear from evaluators who share the ambitions, passion, and commitment of St Giles to drive systems-change through enabling people with lived experience of disadvantage to work at the heart of service design and delivery.

This evaluation will be pivotal to the future direction and success of the St Giles Peer Advisor Programme. The programme was developed over 18 years ago and multiple evaluations have provided evidence about the effectiveness and impact of our training and support for people with lived experience to become peer advisors, and the impact they can make in organisations and communities.

Over the past 18 months we have worked with an evaluation partner to conduct the first stage of an evaluation of the Peer Advisor Network (PAN), a 4-year project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) running from 2019-2023.

We are seeking to build on and extend the understanding gathered from previous evaluation, to:

• Develop a more robust evidence base on the value of the peer advisor model in achieving systems-change and long-term impact for individuals, services, and communities
• Develop a better understanding of economic benefits, to feed into work on enabling financial sustainability for our programme in future
• Maximise learning from the evaluation to increase impact and to influence funders, commissioners, policy-makers, and delivery partners, in particular:
  • understanding more about why aspects of our current approach work well or less well
  • including creative evaluation methods

We are looking for an Evaluator who:

• Is committed to the vision and values of St Giles, understands the value of ‘lived experience’ approaches, including embedding peer-led research/evaluation
• Understands complex adaptive systems and how evaluation can help make sense of changes in this context, and make practical, action-focused recommendations
• Has experience of economic or return on investment analysis, and the ability to draw sound conclusions on value for money
• Is able to add value by enabling the project team to gain new expertise and insight, and has great networks we can learn from
• Has a track-record in producing engaging and creative outputs that create impact.

This evaluation will play a critical role in future sustainability and development of our work to enable people with lived experience to grow, support others, and drive change in local communities and wider funding, delivery and policy-making systems.

Your application answers will be reviewed blind to ensure fairness. Your responses will be randomised and the shortlisting panel will not see any details about you, including your CV. Your CV will only be seen after shortlisting if you have been invited to an interview.

We may close this role early if we receive enough applications, therefore early applications are encouraged. Applicants must have a maximum of two months notice period.

The participant journey on the Headline programme includes a number of residential leadership modules, workshops, shadowing and extensive executive coaching.

There is a high autonomy culture within the team and organisation, so the role requires someone who is well organised, pro-active and can use their initiative to do what works.

You’ll be a confident and capable communicator who’s as comfortable working a social media account or writing copy for a press release as you are contributing to strategic discussions, and developing campaigns - we'd also love for you to have a passion for our cause.

You will be responsible for overseeing the strategic delivery of high-quality PR & communications activities, and for shaping the charity's ‘voice'.

You will be a self -starter, who enjoys working independently as well as part of a team, you must enjoy rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in! This is a great role for someone looking to make it their own and to help us drive forward to make an impact for local animals in need.

We encourage applications from a diverse range of backgrounds and are interested to hear from people with demonstrable transferable skills.

ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

The Media Communications Officer will help to drive responsible investment and sustainable corporate activity by raising the visibility of ShareAction’s research and campaigns through the media. You will help us to build strong relationships with journalists by identifying new contacts, managing existing relationships, improving our internal processes and producing quality content for press audiences.

This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing organisation which is having real impact in raising corporate and investor standards on climate change, public health, workers’ rights and other topics of critical importance.

You will have the opportunity to develop personal relationships and secure media coverage with the world’s leading media organisations. ShareAction has excellent links with outlets such as the Financial Times, Guardian, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and Reuters.

We are a friendly group of incredibly passionate campaigners, researchers and communicators, with a strong commitment to supporting new colleagues and building a positive workplace culture. You will be supported to develop your communications skills and knowledge of sustainability issues and you will be recognised for your contributions to our success. ShareAction is a fantastic place to work and we’re looking for someone who can build on our culture by bringing a positive attitude and a people-first approach to everything they do.

Key responsibilities:

• You will be working closely with ShareAction researchers and campaigners across the organisation to help amplify their work and raise their profile in the media
• You will assist in building existing and new relationships with journalists by identifying new contacts, organising press lists and providing high quality responses to press requests
• You will be drafting press releases and other written materials to communicate ShareAction’s work in an accessible and engaging manner
• You will assist with planning, executing and evaluating media campaigns
• After receiving training, you will pitch stories to journalists and facilitate incoming requests for interviews
• You will monitor & report on media coverage to ShareAction staff
• You will have many opportunities to contribute new ideas to help us improve processes, content and identify new communications opportunities

Requirements

We are looking for a passionate, determined individual, with the following experience and skills:

ESSENTIAL

• You have a positive, outgoing personality, able to quickly build new relationships and support colleagues working under pressure;
• Some experience of communications work. Press experience is ideal, but digital experience is also valued;
• Genuinely interested in the sustainability issues we work on such as climate change, public health and workers’ rights;
• You must have a natural flair for communications. We’re looking for someone with exceptional English written and verbal communication skills, the ability to tell a story, and excellent attention to detail;
• You need to possess strong analytical skills. Much of our content is complex, and it is key that you can digest this information in order to turn it into accessible, engaging content for journalists;
• You are highly organised, with the ability to handle multiple tasks, changing priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment

DESIRABLE

• Press contacts in the fields of sustainability or finance;
• Experience of securing media coverage;
• Knowledge of the financial system;
• Research experience;
• Digital communications skills (web content management, design, multimedia);
• Experience of CRM systems, ideally Salesforce, and mailer systems such as MailChimp;
• Basic Knowledge of data protection regulations/GDPR
