Thanks to funding from the Department for Transport’s Tackling Loneliness with Transport Fund, we will work closely with research partner the University of the West of England, and community rail partnerships and other youth and community partners to coordinate three pilot schemes in Bristol and Gloucester, Blackburn with Darwen, and Newcastle and County Durham.
The initiative will develop and test a framework for community-based youth engagement that bolsters transport skills and confidence among 15-to-24-year-olds, widening access to opportunity, and promoting health, wellbeing, cohesion, and sustainable mobility. It will build on the growing work of the community rail movement, and seek to share lessons on youth engagement with transport, and tackling loneliness, across our network and wider youth and education sectors.
Your role with be crucial in ensuring the success of this important endeavour. You will:
- ensure excellent coordination and communication between project partners and high-quality coherent delivery of the pilots and project as a whole in line with project timeframes and expectations, including via steering group meetings and one-to-one support for individual partners;
- support the pilot leads to take a participatory, empowering approach to engaging young people, ensuring the young people can shape their experiences and make their voices heard;
- liaise with our academic partner to draw on their input and ensure an evidence-led approach is taken throughout, helping the community rail partnerships and other community partners to put evidence into practice;
- engage with programme evaluators, our academic partner and the pilot leads to coordinate and support good evaluation, ensuring robust data collection in line with requirements, and ensuring the evaluation is itself empowering for the young people;
- use the pilots’ lessons and experiences to produce guidance and tools for replication and wider delivery across community rail and the youth and education sectors, and work with our wider team to ensure good dissemination;
- work with Community Rail Network colleagues and members, and youth and transport partners to raise wider awareness about the project and its findings and secure a lasting legacy for the project.

Our pilots will take place in Bristol & Gloucester, Blackburn with Darwen, and Newcastle & County Durham.

The role
Through Code Club and CoderDojo we support young people around the world to learn about computing and how to create with digital technologies, in fun and social environments. Like all in-person activities, Code Clubs and CoderDojos have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures that have been put in place to limit its spread. We have been working hard to support club leaders to run online activities where in-person meetings aren’t possible, and we are now supporting clubs to return, where possible, to in-person sessions. In a world where digital skills are even more important, and where so many young people have missed out on opportunities to learn them, Code Club and CoderDojo have a critical role to play.
The Clubs Process and Support Coordinator, will report to the Director of Clubs and be responsible for managing processes and providing support on both Code Club and CoderDojo programmes.

We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the job, we’ll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you’ll be working with an exceptional team.

Who we are
Peace Direct is an international charity with a big mission: to work with local people to stop violence and build sustainable peace in some of the world's most conflict affected countries. More than that, we want to change the international system so that it better supports the role that local people and communities play in preventing violence and building and sustaining peace.
About the role
This is an exciting new role, which will support a global campaign entirely led by local peacebuilders. Yes, that's right: not a campaign designed and delivered by us, but by local peacebuilders around the world. Our role at Peace Direct is to act as a secretariat and facilitator of the campaign, providing logistics support and guidance as required. Local peacebuilders will be in the driving seat.
The Campaign Coordinator will work closely with a cohort of local peacebuilders around the world who will meet online regularly to identify the main problems experienced by them and others like them globally, as well as the potential solutions, which will lead to the development of key campaign messages. The role of the Campaign Coordinator is to ensure that the local peacebuilders have whatever they need to deliver an impactful global campaign.
This is not your typical campaigns role! You will be the support team, not leading or directing the campaign but helping a diverse group of passionate activists to coalesce around a set of campaign messages. Key activities include:
- Engaging with existing campaigns led by Global South actors and networks to develop an inclusive process for identifying local peacebuilders to form a ‘global campaign team’
- Designing a selection process to recruit 8-10 local peacebuilders as the campaign team
- Developing a campaign co-creation process, enabling the campaign team to identify the problems in the peacebuilding system, explore solutions, and craft campaign messages
- Identify and work closely with a creative agency to support the visual identity and narrative formulation of the campaign
- Support all aspects of the implementation of the campaign, ensuring that it has global reach
- Provide regular ‘touch points’ for the campaign team to share ideas and brainstorm together
- Facilitate any training and coaching necessary for the campaign team
- Organising in-person events for the global campaign team to meet periodically and to participate in other global meetings
The ideal candidate will be a true campaigner, ideally with a lived experience of conflict, who will have a strong background in supporting national or international campaigns. You will have excellent project management and communication skills, strong written skills, excellent interpersonal and team working skills and will be highly organised. Fluency in a second language (French, Spanish or Arabic) would be a bonus.
This position can be based anywhere globally (so long as there is a reasonable internet connection!), and we strongly encourage campaigners from the Global South to apply. Due to the part time and flexible nature of the role, we expect the role to be a consultancy position.
Peace Direct strives to be a diverse and inclusive employer, with equality of opportunities regardless of personal identity, and we are committed to improving our systems and ways of working to support this, including creating a Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) working group, DEI strategy and recruitment guidelines. We strongly encourage individuals from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds to apply, including Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and people with mental health challenges.
Please note that we expect all applicants to complete a cover letter and an application form. CVs will not be accepted.
