They will need outstanding interpersonal skills to navigate complex relationships with stakeholders, including managers within the detention facility, Home Office staff, other NGOs and JRS staff across Europe, as well as managing the varied network of volunteers they manage (many of whom are drawn from religious orders).

The Detention Outreach Manager needs to maintain up-to-date knowledge of the immigration and asylum policy context, particularly as relates to immigration detention and the specialist work of other NGOs, and must be able to apply that to situations affecting individuals in practice.

About The Felix Project

The Felix Project is a dynamic London charity that works with food suppliers and charities and schools to reduce food waste and food poverty. We were set up in 2016 by entrepreneur, Justin Byam Shaw. 

More than eight million people in the UK struggle to afford to eat every day, while our food industry generates 100,000 tonnes of edible food waste each year. 

We rescue good food that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste.  This is high-quality and nutritious, including a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, salads, meat and fish.  We collect or receive food from 170 suppliers, including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis. 

We sort and then deliver this food to charities that cook meals and prepare food parcels for vulnerable people and to primary schools to distribute to children and their families. This year we will deliver over 2,500 tonnes of food to more than 310 London frontline charities and primary schools. This is enough food to make over 6.5 million meals. 

We have 37 staff, 400 volunteers and a fleet of 20 vans.

We have 3 main operations.  Our 2 depot operations at Enfield and Park Royal and our Central London operation.  The depots are open during the day and from these we collect, sort, deliver and store surplus food using our own vans completing pre-configured routes.  Our Central London operation runs in the evening and does point to point re-distribution directly from food retailers to charities, without the need for depot storage.  The Central London operation is fully “green” and uses electric vans and walking and cycling routes to extend our reach.

About us

Synchronicity Earth is an enterprising charity with an ambitious vision: An Earth in which all life is valued, celebrated and flourishing. We act to address overlooked and underfunded conservation challenges for globally threatened species and ecosystems through research-led funding of partners who are working to deliver conservation and biodiversity outcomes. Synchronicity Earth currently funds work that is categorised in a set of programmes including: Amphibians, Asian Species, Congo Basin, Freshwater, Marine, Flourishing Diversity and Regeneration. We also run a series of engagement activities from convening ‘Deeper Thinking’ discussions on new ways of thinking about the conservation and biodiversity challenges; to hosting events showcasing the work of our partners to our wide-ranging audiences.

Our funding model is unique. Our in-house team of conservation experts make up the ‘Research Team’ and they work to build the programmatic portfolios of partners who are undertaking conservation work in those areas that most critically need support. Synchronicity Earth builds long-lasting relationships with these organisations and our ambition is to support them to grow and strengthen their capacity over time, to deliver increased impact.

Once these projects and partners have been identified, we use secure funds from external donors who trust our science-led analysis and wish to fund our strategies. Our due diligence process on potential partners is rigorous and as part of this we identify both core and programmatic needs, representing these needs as part of the ‘fundraising’ process. In addition to managing the grant paperwork, we work with the partners and grantees to prepare, and deliver, progress and impact reports to the donors.

Synchronicity Earth’s income is growing in the number and size of donations received. This means we have been able to increase our grant giving and increase the number of partners we are supporting.

Background

New Schools Network (NSN) is a dynamic, growing charity. Our purpose is to ensure that every child has an equal chance to succeed, irrespective of their background, by supporting communities to establish, run and improve schools.

An unacceptable number of children fail to reach their potential because they lack access to an excellent education. Too often, a child’s background dictates their destination in life, entrenching inequality and impacting communities for generations to come.

NSN is passionate about ending educational inequality once and for all.

We envisage a country where every child has an equal chance to succeed in life, irrespective of their background. Through our programmes, we partner with individuals, groups, trusts and business leaders to establish, run and improve pioneering and innovative schools.

By offering advice, guidance and support, the charity has been instrumental in helping hundreds of groups of parents, teachers, charities and schools to establish new schools. Over the last three years, NSN has expanded its activities to support the 800 or so free schools that are open or have been approved to open. This is an exciting opportunity to work in medium sized charity and to improve the quality of education in England by joining NSN’s Free Schools Programme Directorate.

New Schools Network is powered by a dynamic and enthusiastic team, united by a passion for improving life chances for children through education.

Free Schools Programme Directorate

• Advisory Services: NSN’s Advisory Services offers support and guidance to free school applicant groups. This includes researching and reaching out to groups who are best placed to set up specific types of schools, and working with them to develop their idea and prepare them to submit a free school application to the Department for Education (DfE).

• Delivery Services: NSN’s Delivery Services offer a range of support to free schools that have been approved to open, and those that are open. NSN supports approved groups by providing a range of paid-for services, specially designed to help groups achieve the key milestones in a challenging and rigorous set up process. Open free schools can access a range of free support including events, meetings with specialist consultants, and NSN’s dedicated helpdesk service.

The FSPD intern will also be expected to provide ad hoc support to other projects and teams across the organisation.

Our values are:

• We take action to generate change.
• We embrace innovation.
• We believe in individual agency.
• We celebrate diversity.

Key responsibilities

Interns work across all areas of NSN’s work. They have an opportunity to develop a number of key skills, including research, writing and presenting, event organisation and database management. This role will include the following responsibilities:

• Attention to detail – NSN’s interns need to complete both written and data-related tasks with precision and accuracy.
