This is an exciting new opportunity to work with a growing homelessness charity, setting up and developing a new project to support people to break the cycle of homelessness. 

The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on homeless people and on the way homelessness services operate. In particular, new guidance on the way winter night shelters are allowed to operate due to health risks, has meant that All People All Places must adapt our usual model of delivering night shelter projects.

The Project Co-ordinator will help establish a new night shelter project providing self-contained accommodation to people facing street homelessness. The post holder will co-ordinate the general running of the project - taking referrals, conducting needs and risk assessments, anddelivery of advice and advocacy to support our guests out of homelessness. The Project Co-ordinator will also be responsible for recruiting and supporting a bank of volunteers to provide on-site support to guests.

The post-holder will be based at our Haringey Day Centre in Muswell Hill, where shelter guests can access advice and advocacy as well as primary services such as showers, laundry services and food. The role will involve some local travel to and from the shelters (Haringey and Enfield).

The post is funded by the National Lottery through the National Lottery Community Fund. Funding is until May 2021, and we hope to extend this subject to further funding.

We are recruiting for a part-time Project Manager for our Livestock Transition Dialogues project. This is an exciting opportunity to join a small but dynamic team in an organisation that has been at the forefront of thinking on ethical concerns in food and farming since 1998. 

About the role

This is a part-time (22.5hrs/ week) role on a fixed-term (three-year contract). We need a dynamic Project Manager to help us drive forward an exciting new project working with farmers in the UK to help accelerate the transition to sustainable farming. You will be responsible for co-ordinating the smooth running of the project, working closely with the Executive Director and other members of the team. You must be prepared to manage the project, organise and facilitate workshops, conduct research to a high standard, support communications activity on the project and manage relationships with key stakeholders, including livestock farmers.

You will need to be prepared to engage in nuanced dialogue with people who have a range of perspectives on the role of livestock farming in the future. You will recognise that there is contention in the debate about what part meat, dairy and eggs should play in future food systems – and that livestock farming can have a range of both positive and negative impacts. Positive attempts are being made in the UK to tackle environmental, health and animal welfare issues surrounding meat, eggs and dairy, but these are not going far or fast enough. This role will involve identifying best practice and helping accelerate the transition to humane, sustainable farming that fairly rewards farmers. Full job description and person specification attached.

The organisation has an open and supportive culture. You must be able to work independently and be willing to contribute ideas and to challenge. Whilst your primary responsibility is to co-ordinate this new project, as part of a small team, from time to time you should be prepared to get involved in different aspects of the organisation as needed.

About the Livestock Transition Dialogues project

Livestock Transition Dialogues is a new project we are starting in autumn 2020. The aim is to develop a blueprint with UK livestock farmers and other experts to make a just transition to nature-friendly, humane approaches that contribute to net zero greenhouse gas emissions and fairly reward farmers. The focus will be helping farmers themselves work out HOW they need to change and creating the conditions for sustainable farming to flourish. We will identify building blocks for positive change, test them, encourage wider adoption and lead joint advocacy on policies to accelerate the transition.

Details

Salary: £30,000 FTE (i.e. £18,000 based on 22.5hrs/ week). In addition, we will pay a pension contribution of 4% of your basic pay per month (you will have to make minimum pension contributions in line with pensions law, unless you choose to opt out).

Hours: 22.5 hours per week spread over 3-4 days (but some flexibility on days)

Location: King’s Cross, London. We prefer for staff to work mainly in our shared office in Kings Cross, London – but with the opportunity to work remotely or from home as appropriate. Subject to government COVD-19 guidelines, the role is likely to involve some (but limited) travel around the UK to participate in workshops in different parts of the UK (as a guide, this might typically be 3-5 per year).

Right to work: You will need to hold the necessary rights/visa to work in the UK, the Food Ethics Council is not able to assist with applications for work permits.

Closing date for applications: 5pm on Friday 28th August 2020. Interviews will be held virtually (via Zoom) on Wednesday 9th September 2020.

Real is recruiting a Communications and Marketing Coordinator. This is a new position created following an operational review. We recognise it’s important to be really clear about articulating who Real is for, how we can help them, and how they can get involved in Real’s work. We want to reach new audiences creatively, getting our messages out to a variety of stakeholders. There are challenges in doing this in a truly accessible way.

We are looking for an experienced, creative and knowledgeable person to lead our communications and marketing work. You will report directly to the Head of Programmes and together you will be responsible for developing and implementing a new communication strategy and action plan. We know that we want to be more relevant to more people. The role will combine both strategic and day-to-day communications and marketing work.

We also want to ensure our communications are two-way with our constituency. The role will also spend time supporting the delivery of the Local Voices community engagement project, especially up until December 2020, helping us reach people differently as a result of the COVID-19 situation.

This role requires a motivated, capable individual who is able to inspire other staff, volunteers and members of the public to collaborate to help us really “tell the story” about how we can help and make a difference. You will be both strategic, and able to roll up your sleeves to get the job done. There are no roles reporting into this position currently, but there may be in future, and there are other staff and volunteers who will need guidance and support in communications activities.

Real is proud of its principles of valuing everyone and never discriminating. As a user-led organisation of local disabled people we particularly welcome applicants who are disabled or who live in Tower Hamlets.

Why you should work for Real

• We are a dynamic, growing third sector organisation and a user-led organisation of disabled people. We are firmly driven by our principles and ethos.
• We are a progressive organisation, constantly looking to work more effectively. But this does not mean we abandon our principles.
• We have a good reputation with our funders and our clients, and support approximately 1000 people in the community each year.
• We actively embrace diversity in all forms. Our clients relate to us more because we reflect their reality.
• We consider disability in our employees an asset.
• There is a great atmosphere and good staff morale.
• In a number of areas we are at the forefront of being part of an evolving and developing third sector in Tower Hamlets.
