Are you a confident self-starter with experience in handling dogs? Are you confident in dealing with challenging situations in a tactful and empathetic manner?

Dogs Trust is the largest dog welfare charity in the UK with a nationwide network of rehoming centres and charity shops. Last year, Dogs Trust centres cared for over 14,000 dogs; we never put a healthy dog down.

Dogs Trust Freedom Project is a pet fostering service for people fleeing domestic abuse. However, the majority of our referrals come from women fleeing domestic abuse via women-only services. The service places dogs into volunteer foster homes on a temporary basis until their owners are able to have them back. 

We are seeking a confident and well-organised individual who is passionate about helping animals and people. As Freedom Project Regional Assistant, you will support the evaluation and matching of dog referrals received from our stakeholder referral agencies. You will also assess the suitability of volunteer foster carers for the dogs by carrying out home checks and interviews and update clients on their pet’s progress.

You must be experienced and competent in assessing and handling a wide range of dogs in a working environment such as an animal charity or rescue/rehoming centre and have experience in giving dog welfare advice to owners and handlers, with an understanding of positive reinforcement techniques.

A large part of this role involves driving a small van and transporting dogs across Scotland on a daily basis, so candidates should have a full, clean, manual UK driving license and experience of driving as part of a previous role. An understanding of the problems faced by people fleeing domestic abuse with pets is expected as is a motivation to help and support vulnerable pet owners.

This is a full-time permanent post at 35 hours per week, Mon to Fri, 9am to 5pm (candidates will be required to undertake occasional out of hours working to support the needs of the service).

Due to the nature of this role, this post is for women only and is exempt under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010

MSF PHC Transformation Project

The MSF Primary Health Care (PHC) Transformation project is an initiative instigated by MSF Australia and supported by MSF-Holland and the Stockholm Innovation Unit.  The project was approved for TIC funding in September 2019.

This project aims to innovate and transform the way MSF delivers primary health care (PHC) in its field projects.  Primary health care is MSF’s main medical activity each year, yet there remains little guidance for field teams on the most appropriate ways to deliver PHC in different contexts. Currently, most PHC projects in MSF are assessed quantitatively – in terms of number of patients seen or numbers of morbidities and not in terms of the quality of care we provide at the PHC level.  Further, our current approach is a ‘one-size fits all’ model.  This model lacks adequate consideration of contextual factors such as the social, cultural, economic factors, among others and fails to incorporate community perspectives into our program design. 

JOB PURPOSE

In collaboration with one of MSF’s main operational centres; Operational Centre Amsterdam (OCA), the objectives of this project are to co-design person-centred, context-adapted methods of PHC delivery that are fit for purpose. This project requires a Project Manager to coordinate the various activities of the Strengthening MSF’s approach to primary health care service implementation project as detailed in the project concept note. The main objective is to develop an MSF toolkit for delivery of primary health care that can be applied across diverse contexts and ultimately leads to improved quality of services and patient-centred care.

The impact of COVID-19 is a significant consideration on the project’s proposed activities and a high-level flexibility will be required to adapt and adjust activities accordingly.

The project is overseen by MSF Australia and the MSF Transformational Investment Capacity Fund. MSF OCA is the ‘operational sponsoring OC’.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Working with key stakeholders of the project, internal and external to MSF
• Coordinate the activities of the project, including project design, developing methodology and overseeing implementation
• Coordinate a flexible project team bringing in topical specialists, as required
• Manage the budget and accountability of finances
• Report on project progress of project at internal and external meetings
• Design and develop the project methodology in collaboration with subject matter experts
• Manage applications to ethics boards, multi-country partnerships at field at headquarters level and external partnerships
• Plan and coordinate activities of the project - internal communication and change management activities
• Manage and troubleshoot project risks with a declared risk register
• Maintain solid project administration, including managing the project budget
• Provide reports to: t he Chair of MSF TIC Steering Committee together with the OCA PHC project sponsor and  MSF Australia Board, together with the Chair of the MSF Australia TIC Committee.
• Ensure coherence and good cooperation within the project team and alignment of the different stakeholders and departments;
• Act as Organisational and Change lead for the project.

The role will require close liaison with the teams in London and Amsterdam, which means frequent travel to London and/or Amsterdam will be expected, in addition field travel.  Completion is expected by end 2021 when a minimum viable product is expected to be delivered. 

This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive. Employee may perform other related duties to meet the ongoing needs of the organisation. This job description does not form part of the contract of employment.

Recruiting during the pandemic

We know we are at a critical point across the economy here in the UK and elsewhere; this is certainly true within Higher Education. We are in touch with our colleagues and our network across the sector and are acutely aware of the challenges both financially and with regard to learning that they are experiencing. It is unprecedented for us all.

This is a difficult time for many and we have taken a carefully considered, deliberate decision to continue to drive our growth and development. We have recently appointed 6 new team members who will start with us over the next three months and have developed our approach to ensure that a remote start is as seamless as possible.

Additional ways for you, as candidates to interact directly with a wider number of our team as well as the recruiting manager have been incorporated into our recruitment process to ensure a smooth and engaging candidate experience.

Who are we?

TEDI-London is an innovative new higher education institution in London wholly focused on engineering, co-founded by Arizona State University, King’s College London, and UNSW Sydney.

Our vision is to transform engineering education to transform lives – both for students and for the users of the products they design and make. Our mission is to attract and empower individuals and partners from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to develop the skills and confidence to create practical real-world solutions that advance how we live as a global community.

Variety and ambiguity is our way of life

In a start-up, each day really is different. We work collaboratively at TEDI-London on big decisions, but also need individuals that take initiative and have the skills and experience to manage their own work areas. We are a start-up with huge ambition, but you should not expect to join an organisation with all the answers, and everything mapped out. That is what we need you for - to be part of our journey.

You will not have a huge team and infrastructure in place. One day you might be writing a strategy or paper for the board – another you might be proofreading a letter. You will relish the chance to be in a new organisation with a world of possibilities where you can genuinely see the value that you add on a daily basis. The team you work with will be from different functions and levels – all united in one goal -to make TEDI-London a success.

Your Role

We are looking for a passionate Student Recruitment and Outreach Officer to support the Student Recruitment and Admissions team in engaging potential students to study at TEDI-London. A passion and experience of working with individuals seeking a change of career, a return to work and study or the more mature student would be a bonus to complement the accountabilities and experience within our existing team members; this is not essential. A commitment and drive to widen participation within Higher Education and especially engineering HE is a prerequisite.

How to Apply

This role is live for 2 weeks, closing Sunday 26th July at 23:59. Please merge your cover letter and CV before this is uploaded.

We would be delighted if you would review the Job Description, Values, Terms and Conditions and Proposition Document. We have provided an opportunity to attend a live Zoom Q & A session, taking place on Friday 17th July at 7:30pm BST.

We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis for this role and plan to interview remotely the week of 3rd August 2020.
