Coventry has seen an extraordinary rise in the number of homeless people and in temporary accommodation in the last few years. The recent report 'Home of Her Own' (July 2019) by Women's Budget Group (produced in collaboration with Coventry Women's Partnership) identified that 'for Coventry, as in most of the country, housing benefit is not covering full rents in any of the bedroom entitlements – even for the cheapest rents'. Aside from refuge services for women fleeing domestic violence (which are already oversubscribed), there are currently no women-only accommodation options for females in Coventry.

Working in partnership with Coventry Haven Women’s Aid, KairosWWT is leading a project to gain further understanding and evidence of women’s housing across the City. The aim of this new project is:

1) Provide tailored, direct support to groups for women whom housing services are often hard to access, including rough sleepers, women with multiple/complex needs, BME women, those with no recourse to public funds and/or whose economic circumstances disqualify them from housing-related support, as well as women at risk of homelessness or losing tenancies.

2) Reduce number of women rough sleeping or becoming homeless and increase number of women accessing safe, appropriate accommodation & maintaining tenancies

3) Increase level of gender and trauma-informed support in Coventry delivered by women’s organisations.
 

This role is the central co-ordinating role for project

We are looking for a candidate who is sharp, enquiring and an outstanding communicator. We need a strategic thinker who can seek out, digest and connect insights and share them with others in a way that inspires change. You will need a strong understanding of – and ideally experience in – frontline provision for young people.

You will need to be energised and excited by the opportunities to work with and alongside the youth sector to affect change. We need you to be imaginative, and to understand and communicate the importance of impact, measurement and improvement in social programmes.

Moving away from traditionally reactive approaches to charity comms, On Road is improving media coverage of misrepresented groups and issues, from soap storylines to news, by moving senior media professionals on an emotional level about the issue at hand, providing informal yet carefully curated opportunities for them to connect with a diverse group of people who have first hand or relevant experience of the issue.

We run what we call “interactions” which have been developed and refined by our team since 2011 replacing traditional diversity training or campaigning at media professionals which often pushes statistics and facts about a community or issue at time-poor, overloaded journalists in an industry which is undergoing seismic change. Our experience shows that a journalist who has connected on a human level with an issue is much more likely to take it upon themselves to quickly research the topic, and often champion the issue within their organisation.

We are also modeling a much more in-depth and crucial level of support to people with first hand experience of the issues, which we call our “slow communications” methodology. This way of working ensures the people we collaborate with have a trusted network of peers, contacts, training and remuneration to do media work safely, sustainably, proactively and strategically, whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes.

With each project we take on, we work closely with a community over several years, and deliver four key activities: 

1. “Interactions” – informal, facilitated meet-ups between community members and senior media professionals;

2. Bespoke media and strategic communications training course which includes research-based framing and a core focus on self-care;

3. Peer support and additional media skills workshops for people with direct experience engaging with the media; 

4. Mentoring for project participants, often hosting others in the network to lead workshops and share learning within the various projects.

Our vision as a charity is to bring about narrative change and for the media across the UK to give accurate and fair portrayals of social issues and minority groups that are vulnerable to prejudice and misrepresentation.

Job Brief

We are looking for a Project Manager to join the project delivery team, working across On Road’s projects before being assigned their own project after the probationary period (3 months). This involves six main areas that make up our groundbreaking work:

1. Organising and delivering the “interactions” with the media 

2. Leading regular peer support meetings 

3. Organising and facilitating strategic communications training courses 

4. Supporting participants to take part in media opportunities 

5. Advising on media enquiries 

6. Collaborating with journalists on fresh content

The kind of person we’re looking for loves working in a team towards the common goal of improving the world around us. You’re passionate about inclusion, fairness and a representative media. You will be excited to learn about our methodology and about the prospect of playing a significant role in a small, award-winning charity. 

Joining a busy and committed team, you’ll be up for a challenge and eager to get stuck in. You’ll have experience of running a project and working independently, whilst enjoying the support of an experienced and friendly team.

10. Facilitate and attend team, project and organisation meetings, training or events. Bring ideas for improvements and be open and honest in all communications where relevant and appropriate

11. In the long term, managing a staff member, and working closely with the Chief Executive, Senior Project Manager, Project staff, advisors, trustees, clients, stakeholders, and project participants
