Role profile: Training Development manager (Freelance)

Details: 15 hours a week (flexible), home-based work with regular meetings in east London.

This exciting new role is an opportunity for the right individual to work with us to grow and strengthen our training programme in the UK and internationally.  The primary purposes of the role are to build on the wealth of resources we already have to make them accessible in an appropriate and supported way to Lower Income Country users, and to lead the roll out of training in the UK and other High Income Countries in order to generate income to support the work.

About us

Global Clubfoot Initiative (GCI) is a UK-based charity which acts as an umbrella organisation for individuals and organisations working with children with clubfoot in low and middle income countries (LMIC).  Formed in 2010, our role is to encourage collaboration, sharing of best practices and resources amongst our members and together with them to work towards the common goal that no child should suffer from disability caused by clubfoot.  We have 38 members organisations including CBM International, Hope Walks Feet First, International Committee of the Red Cross, Miraclefeet, Mobility Outreach International, Walk for Life and many others.

About this role

Over the last two years GCI has taken one of our most valued assets: training products developed by us and others and started to make these available to our members and other organisations.  The development of the materials started out as the Africa Clubfoot Training (ACT), and has since expanded to include other products developed, or in development by our members in collaboration with GCI.  In 2018 – 2019 GCI has run 8 training courses for clinicians in the UK using an adapted version of the ACT materials, generating income for the charity.  The version of ACT which has been adapted for the UK, the Global Clubfoot Training, has been accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.  There is demand for training from other higher income countries (HIC), which we have identified as an opportunity to expand our network and generate income to make our training programme sustainable.  The purpose of this role is to be responsible for developing and managing our training programme, which will include three elements:

1. GCI to become an effective host and distributor of the ACT and other training products, making these accessible in an organised and appropriate way
2. Provide support to users of the training products in LMIC to enable high quality, effective and appropriate training
3. Use the training products to generate income in HIC to sustainably support our capacity building and training programme

Occasional travel in the UK and/or international travel of up to 1 week at a time may be required.

Hours:  15 hours per week, flexible days, but where occasional meetings with the GCI team are required these are likely to be on a Monday, Tuesday or a Friday.  It will not be necessary to be available for work every day, but the hours will need to be sufficiently spread across the week to enable effective communication and appropriate response times.

Fees: £16.50 per hour of service provided (Equivalent to £32,329 per annum)

Job basis: This is a self-employed position.  The applicant will be responsible for providing their own workspace and office equipment and managing their own tax affairs.  Other expenses such as communications and travel may be claimable on discussion with the GCI Executive Director.

About you

To fulfil the requirements of the role we are looking for a self-motivated, organised individual with the skills, attitude and experience to take the programme forward from its current early stage. Working in close collaboration with the Executive Director you will strengthen and grow the programme, building on the reputation and credibility that GCI already has as a provider of high quality, effective training.  You will be a highly developed communicator who is able to build relationships with a variety of individuals from different professional and cultural backgrounds.
