This is an exciting opportunity to join us on a new project to support the £98m Healthy Ageing Challenge Fund. If you experienced in supporting learning networks, have excellent stakeholder management skills and a passion for supporting shared learning then we’d like to hear from you. 

The UK’s population is undergoing a massive age shift. In less than 20 years, one in four people will be over 65.

The fact that many of us are living longer is a great achievement. But unless radical action is taken by government, business and others in society, millions of us risk missing out on enjoying those extra years.

At the Centre for Ageing Better we want everyone to enjoy later life. We create change in policy and practice informed by evidence and work with partners across England to improve employment, housing, health and communities.

We are a charitable foundation, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, and part of the government’s What Works Network.

The Centre for Ageing Better have been commissioned to deliver a Community of Practice (CoP) for the Healthy Ageing Challenge Fund. The CoP is a learning network that will support shared learning and collaboration across a network of members, which includes those in receipt of Challenge Fund awards, and a wider interested audience.

The Community and Learning Manager will be responsible for supporting the ongoing management, facilitation and development of the CoP and online community hub. You will be responsible for getting to understand the members of the community and co-designing an evolving programme of workshops, webinars, resources and support. You will work with colleagues to source and commission experts to deliver these activities and will work with colleagues to scope, commission and manage an evaluation of the CoP.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills and a proven ability to support and deliver communities of practice or learning networks. You’ll have a good understanding of different knowledge exchange methods and will be confident working with third parties to deliver quality, timely work. A collaborative approach, analytical mindset and strong attention to detail are essential.

To apply please send a CV, covering letter addressing how you meet the criteria for the role and the attached Equality and Diversity form. The closing date for this role is 5pm on Monday 5th October 2020 with interviews to take place on Friday 16th October 2020.

We will review applications on an ongoing basis so the role may close before the closing date.

Partnership Engagement Manager – WasteAid

WasteAid - Our vision

Our vision is a world with equal access to waste services for all.

Helping communities and governments manage their waste properly is vital if we are to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Waste management has a powerful and positive impact on people’s well-being.

Our mission – fighting poverty, pollution and climate change

Around 1 in 3 people globally do not have decent waste management.  Pollution caused by waste harms people’s health and the environment and damages the local economy. In contrast, an affordable waste management system is relatively simple to implement, improving the environment, creating jobs and protecting public health – particularly for children.

Plastic pollution in the marine environment is of major global concern, and WasteAid is helping tackle this global problem. We work with upstream and coastal communities to set up small recycling centres and help keep plastic out of rivers and the oceans. We also share skills in managing organic waste, helping people make the most with their resources.

Open dumping and burning of waste releases climate change emissions, contribute to both short-term and long-term impacts. Black soot from burning and methane from open dumping are of special concern. We offer communities a safe and sustainable alternative to dangerous dumpsites and toxic air pollution.

Our values

Our founding principles come from our origins in the waste management industry, which itself grew out of the public health movement in the UK in the late Victorian era. 

We believe in equality of access to decent public health for all people and advocate the role of good waste management to achieve this.

We are inclusive and empowering of the communities in developing countries that we seek to serve and support.

We believe in the power of appropriate technology transfer, training and skills development to create livelihoods and reduce pollution.

We are collaborative and work in a collegiate spirit with all partners and funders.

Our priorities for 2020-2023

• Focus on developing sustainable livelihoods through community-level interventions and make further strides in working with policy makers at local and national level.
• Address all common waste streams.
• Build on projects in Africa and Asia but do not exclude opportunities to partner with organisations elsewhere.
• Empower communities to act themselves (through campaigns and waste management activities).

We will continue to campaign to encourage the donor community to increase spending on waste management from 0.3% to 3% of international aid.

We recognise that dynamic partnerships amplify our impact, so we will continue to:

• partner with established groups in lower- and middle-income countries to share skills and knowledge about local and low-cost sustainable waste management.
• support other international non-governmental organisations to build their capacity using evidence-based approaches to sustainable waste management.
• cooperate with individuals and businesses who want to help address the global waste crisis.

We will maintain a geographical and thematic focus:

Primary focus: We will continue to build on our two-year UK Aid grant-funded projects in West, East and Central sub-Saharan Africa, developing these partnerships as regional hubs of expertise / training centres and developing networks of practitioners. Pursue opportunities to develop additional grant-funded initiatives in these geographical regions.

Corporate partnerships and service delivery: We will work with others to deliver training and capacity building programmes in any community in a lower- or middle-income country that does not have an effective waste management service (where open dumping and burning are the norm).

Online resources: We will seek to inspire communities to act and to advocate for sustainable waste management in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, through providing free and accessible online resources and engagement.

Person Specification

We are looking to recruit a dynamic, motivated and experienced professional to develop our income generation strategy across a variety of income streams (predominantly corporate partnerships and through trusts and foundations).  

To be successful you will have a proven experience in income generation with good influencing skills, the confidence to implement and develop fundraising strategies, be able to demonstrate excellent stewardship, have a successful track record of building successful relationships and having a collaborative nature.

How to Apply

If you are interested in the opportunity to become our Partnership Engagement Manager then your application should comprise a CV with details of your experience and achievements, together with a supporting letter (of no more than two sides of A4) which addresses the Person Specification.

Applications should be sent electronically to the email address below no later than 12 noon on 1st October 2020.

We will endeavour to contact everyone who has applied, but only those being short-listed for interview will be contacted in the immediate first instance.  References will be taken up on completion of the interview and before a confirmed offer of employment.

We are looking for someone who is a born organiser.  Good with people, you think on your feet, a problem solver. 

Your first task will be to bring together 30-40 odd organisers of local groups and national networks, and help them gel as a team. Give them the confidence, knowledge and resources to develop their group, support each other and play an engaged part in Stamma.

We want to ensure that we have local groups across the UK which are welcoming and engaging and provide a consistent quality experience to new and existing members.  More, we want to expand our network, and create more local groups – and ideally more national networks, like the Defence Stammering Network or the Stamma Civil Service. 

ROLE OUTLINE

Your job is to work with our volunteer organisers, many of whom have been involved in Stamma for many years, and look at what they need in terms of resources and information and support – and knit that into an overarching plan.  One that delivers a common understanding and agreement between ourselves and the organisers – and ensure that people taking part in local groups, online groups, networks, experience a consistent quality experience.

ABOUT YOU
You will like meeting people, be a great listener, a great organiser and by definition be a good planner.  Good taking thought to deed, coming up with a plan, writing it down succinctly and clearly, getting agreement, putting it into action.  You’ll be hoping to be able to travel widely, and meet everyone. Failing that you’ll be pretty great at organising and running Zoom meetings.  Not bad too at social media. You are as at home with local groups as you are with a huddle of city bankers – able to stand up and present with passion and clarity.

LOCAL GROUPS & NETWORKS

A local group could be 4 or 40, meeting in a uni or going for a ramble, or sitting down for a group knit at the Community Centre.  But we need a clear agreement in place for how groups are run and promoted, where data is kept, how people are protected, and importantly the messaging around stammering. Your job is to get this into place.

You will also be responsible for helping secure and set up new local groups and networks – recruiting coordinators, setting them up, helping knit them into the coordinators network, which you’ll also set up.

There is growing demand and interest in setting up networks within organisations, across branches, to support those who stammer.  Whether in the workplace or in education.  You’ll be over this like a rash, sourcing and developing resources and materials for use locally or available online, tailored to the different environments.  This is a huge area to get on top of, but no rush.

You’ll set up systems and relationship so that our local organisers are kept up to date, can support each other and keep the organisation grounded.  In return we’ll be looking to organisers to help set up local Open Days, family days, our biennial conference and workshops. And working together, from the ground up, we will create a better world for people who stammer.

If this is you, if this excites you, then join us.

About the role
Calling all natural born communicators!

If we are to reach every young person with cancer we need to be powerful advocates, influencers and communicators and our ability to communicate with heart, soul and integrity will be critical to reaching all young people who need us. We are looking for an energetic and experienced relationship manager with incredible communication skills to join the dynamic and fast paced Music & Entertainment Team. 

We are incredibly lucky to have a diverse roster of dedicated Patrons, Ambassadors and Celebrity Supporters who are committed to our work and goals but we need to take a more strategic approach and develop and grow this function.

• You will be a proficient manager with a natural aptitude for getting the very best from your team, well versed in caseload management and outcomes reporting.
