Fight for Peace is an international non- governmental organisation (NGO) thatsupports young people to achieve their full potential and helps create peaceful communities. The organisation was founded in Rio de Janeiro, in 2000, and set up in London in 2007. 

We believe the choices young people make are based on the opportunities and support they have access to, as well as the way they see themselves, how they relate to others, and how they see their future. That’s why Fight for Peace invests in young people, offering integrated and holistic programmes in a safe environment. 

Strategically we focus on three main activities: firstly, we provide direct services to young people through our Academies in London and Rio; secondly, we support youth-focused partner organisations who are members of the Fight for Peace Alliance; and thirdly, through our Collectives - currently in Newham and Jamaica - we work with local partners, government bodies, donors and the private sector, to generate greater impact in preventing violence in communities. 

A PUBLIC HEALTH APPROACH TO VIOLENCE PREVENTION 

Fight for Peace uses a public health model which focuses on three levels of violence prevention. We offer universal services that provide opportunities and support for all young people living in communities affected by crime and violence. We also focus on individuals or groups identified as being at risk of becoming victims or perpetrators of crime and violence. And we support young people most at risk of harm, or causing harm, to disengage from crime and violence, and work to prevent them reoffending or being victimised again. 

OUR LONDON ACADEMY 

We set up our London Academy in North Woolwich in 2007 to provide services to children and young people aged 7 to 25 in the borough of Newham and beyond. Today, the Academy usually works with around 900 young people annually and acts as a training hub for our Fight for Peace Alliance member organisations. It is also the location from which we coordinate our London-based Collectives. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, many of our services are being provided online. 

THE FIGHT FOR PEACE FIVE PILLARS 

Our Academies use a Five Pillars methodology, drawing on non-traditional methods to engage young people where conventional methods aren’t working. Through boxing and martial arts, young people build strength and discipline, gain self-respect and learn that success comes through hard work and dedication. We offer formal education programmes for young people who are not at school to re-engage with their learning, and employability support and training for young people to get access to the job market and progress in their professional lives. 

Through our Support Services, specialist youth workers support young people to overcome issues they may be facing at school, at home or in their personal lives. And our Youth Leaders help to design programmes, develop strategies and make decisions at every level of our organisation. 

In this way, we provide young people with the tools and support structures they need to become life champions and create positive futures for themselves

In 2015, Fight for Peace launched Collectives to establish a location-specific, multi-agency approach to promoting youth safety in areas affected by inequality and violence, to ensure young people can access the range of support they need. Collectives have been implemented in Kingston, Jamaica and Cape Town, South Africa.

NEWHAM PARTNERSHIPS

Fight for Peace launched the Pan-Newham Partnership in January 2020. This is a pilot of the collective impact approach in the borough of Newham, London. Fight for Peace facilitates and coordinates the work of the partnership which includes 30 organisations working with young people and families across the voluntary sector, public sector, health and the private sector. The vision of the partnership is to facilitate collaboration between organisations to increase opportunities for young people and improve youth safety in the borough.

PAN-NEWHAM PROJECT COORDINATOR ROLE OVERVIEW

Working closely with the Newham Partnerships Manager and Academy staff, the post holder will have responsibility for the development of the Pan-Newham Partnership; maintaining relationships, facilitating training, learning and best practice and scoping opportunities for genuine collaboration between sectors across the borough. 

The postholder will be expected to adhere to Fight for Peace values and policies (including safeguarding) at all times and always put the needs of young people first.

Community Coordinator

ECHO is seeking a new community-building superstar to join our small but hardworking charity supporting children and young people with heart conditions and their families.

You will play a major role in developing a new community forum on the ECHO website, reaching out to families and professionals across the paediatric cardiology community.

You will act as a link between parents, medical professionals and information providers and be of assistance to them all.

The day-to-day job of Community Coordinator will be to build and improve the way parents/carers can ask questions, find information, and get support from the moment of diagnosis right through to adulthood.

This job will suit someone who wants to make a difference to families, someone who understands the value of high quality and reliable information and someone who can take the time to make someone else smile.

The Job Description gives you an idea of what we are looking for - what we would love is someone who can bring ideas and see them through to delivery on a small budget and in a small team. Someone who values volunteers and who can get things done.

Setting up a new online forum might not be easy, we have some technical support, but you will work with volunteers and partners to get it working and moderated safely, within necessary guidelines and policies. When monitoring and replying to forum posts, you will need to be knowledgeable and professional in your signposting ability.

Much of your work will be online but some will be face to face meeting parents, children, doctors, psychologists, administrators, and charity professionals - you will need to be open-minded and have a positive attitude.

Supporting families as they experience their heart journey can be tough; we support you with a fun and friendly team, regular wellbeing activities and monthly external supervision. As a thank you we gift staff some extra holiday days, and we encourage personal development and training.

We are a small team, there may at times be a need for help with a children’s party, a fundraising letter to a company or presenting to a medical team about the work we do. Our work is based mainly from the ECHO office, but we are flexible and ad-hoc travel to events and activities will be necessary.

ECHO seeks to ensure we achieve diversity in our workforce regardless of gender, race, religious belief, nationality, ethnic/national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability. ECHO welcomes applications from all candidates, including underrepresented groups and refugees who have the right to work in the UK. ECHO will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable adjustments to participate in the job application and/or interview process, and for essential job function if appointed to the role.

We need a Team Coordinator to join the team to provide critical administrative and logistical support across all of DataKind UK’s programmes of work. The post will contribute both capacity and skills to the team at DataKind UK – particularly offering support around managing our volunteer community of data scientists and building the internal operational processes of the organisation.

About DataKind UK

DataKind UK exists to transform the impact of social change organisations - charities, social enterprises, grantmakers, public sector bodies - through data science capacity building, for the benefit of the people of the UK and other parts of the world. We want a future in which these organisations are making full, responsible use of data science to increase their impact. 

Why? We believe social change organisations make a massive difference to our society, particularly the most vulnerable people and communities. Yet most are not making full use of data and data science to fulfil their missions. We believe that to not do this actively reinforces patterns of inequality and disadvantage in the UK and elsewhere. 

Our approach

DataKind UK is a data science capacity builder. That means we work alongside social change organisations to increase their understanding of and confidence in data use and data science. We aren’t a consultancy and we don’t offer ‘black box’ tech solutions. Our aim is for our project partners to come away feeling able to navigate the world of data science without us!

We are a volunteer-driven organisation - all of our projects are staffed by pro-bono data experts from industry. This means our project partners get the most up-to-date skills….for free! This community of passionate data scientists - including statisticians, data engineers, visualisation experts, developers, designers and project managers - have contributed over £3 million in pro bono data services since 2013. 

Our history

Since we were founded in 2012, we have worked to understand the social sector’s needs and how we can harness the power of pro bono data scientists to support the sector. 

We have partnered with charities large and small across a wide range of issue areas, from The Prince’s Trust and Macmillan through to local food banks and hospices. We have run projects with more than 80 social change organisations, and are now, by far, the most experienced provider of charity data science support in the UK. We’ve been held up as an example of best practice by government ministers and were named as one of Fast Company's 10 most innovative nonprofits in 2017.

We are a registered UK charity and are part of the global DataKind network of six chapters.

About the role

We need a Team Coordinator to join the team to provide critical administrative and logistical support across all of DataKind UK’s programmes of work. The post will contribute both capacity and skills to the team at DataKind UK – particularly offering support around managing our volunteer community of data scientists and building the internal operational processes of the organisation.

The Team Coordinator will provide a comprehensive PA service to the Executive Director, including diary management, planning meetings, and providing general administrative support. The role will also include liaising with key contacts and stakeholders on behalf of the Executive Director and providing the secretariat function to the Board of Trustees.

We’re looking for an organised and confident administrator with excellent written and verbal communication skills and exceptional attention to detail. Our ideal candidate would be happy working autonomously and have experience of supporting a busy and fast-paced team managing multiple different work streams, and of providing PA support. We are looking for someone who will anticipate need and suggest solutions to logistical challenges, working with the team to ensure the best outcome for our charity partners and other stakeholders.
