About the role

Lead our inclusive environmental action programme, Keeping It Wild, designed to support young people to engage with and protect London’s wild spaces 

If you are passionate about working with young people and engaging them with London’s natural environment, we would love to hear from you.

Keeping It Wild brings the youth and conservation sectors together to provide exciting opportunities for young people.Alongside London Wildlife Trust, Headliners and John Muir Trust you will lead London Youth’s work connecting young people from our member organisations to the programme.

 This role will support young people from backgrounds currently under-represented in natural heritage, to gain vital skills while discovering, conserving and sharing their experiences of the capital’s wild spaces.  

 Keeping It Wild has been fully adapted within the current context to work with our members and young people –whether online, physically, or a combination of both – as we head into the all important third of a three-year programme.

London Youth embraces equality, diversity and inclusion.  We are committed to the ongoing development of an organisation that values and represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills and welcome applications that reflect this. 

London South Bank University Students’ Union is on a mission to totally transform the way a students’ union works in a modern university. We are now seeking an outstanding professional leader to join the organisation as Chief Executive to take forward its future development, operational delivery and management across a growing team of staff and volunteers.

About the role

LSBSU is the recognised representative body of 18,000 students at London South Bank University. Many of our students come from less privileged backgrounds and have had to overcome significant barriers in life simply to get to university.

South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. Many don’t identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners, and Londoners.

In recent times, realising that much of our activity was not engaging significant parts of our student population, we have taken a long hard look at ourselves. We know that we can do so much more for our students.

Following a period of transition, we have set out an ambitious vision for 2025 that will take us on a journey of improvement and innovation. Our goal is to be a truly transformative students’ union that improves the lives of students on every course and beyond at London South Bank University. We have set a plan for year one, and goals for year five, but how we get there could take many routes and we will need you as CEO to steer that journey.

This is a brilliant opportunity to support an SU which is rebuilding itself from the ground up. We have invested heavily in our transformation, started to build a more inclusive and equitable workplace, and we have significant changes to governance in the pipeline for 2021.

As CEO, you will have the chance to bring people into the senior team and work collaboratively with our Officers, Board and University partner to establish the best way to achieve our goals for 2025.

Who we're looking for

Our ideal Chief Executive will be able to provide dynamic leadership, be motivated to change students’ lives and be passionate about building an organisation that is relevant and responsive to those it seeks to serve.

You need to have strong communication skills, emotional intelligence and an ability to build relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders. It is essential that you are committed to role modelling inclusive behaviours, building equity and removing the systemic barriers that exist to hold our students back.

We are actively looking to diversify our Trustee board and leadership team as this has not been as diverse as our student population in the past. We are especially interested to hear from candidates from BAME communities and/or candidates that have overcome other significant barriers in their lives.

If you are inspired by the job, we highly recommend you contact Peridot for an informal discussion and background on the role.

MSF PHC Transformation Project

The MSF Primary Health Care (PHC) Transformation project is an initiative instigated by MSF Australia and supported by MSF-Holland and the Stockholm Innovation Unit.  The project was approved for TIC funding in September 2019.

This project aims to innovate and transform the way MSF delivers primary health care (PHC) in its field projects.  Primary health care is MSF’s main medical activity each year, yet there remains little guidance for field teams on the most appropriate ways to deliver PHC in different contexts. Currently, most PHC projects in MSF are assessed quantitatively – in terms of number of patients seen or numbers of morbidities and not in terms of the quality of care we provide at the PHC level.  Further, our current approach is a ‘one-size fits all’ model.  This model lacks adequate consideration of contextual factors such as the social, cultural, economic factors, among others and fails to incorporate community perspectives into our program design. 

JOB PURPOSE

In collaboration with one of MSF’s main operational centres; Operational Centre Amsterdam (OCA), the objectives of this project are to co-design person-centred, context-adapted methods of PHC delivery that are fit for purpose. This project requires a Project Manager to coordinate the various activities of the Strengthening MSF’s approach to primary health care service implementation project as detailed in the project concept note. The main objective is to develop an MSF toolkit for delivery of primary health care that can be applied across diverse contexts and ultimately leads to improved quality of services and patient-centred care.

The impact of COVID-19 is a significant consideration on the project’s proposed activities and a high-level flexibility will be required to adapt and adjust activities accordingly.

The project is overseen by MSF Australia and the MSF Transformational Investment Capacity Fund. MSF OCA is the ‘operational sponsoring OC’.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Working with key stakeholders of the project, internal and external to MSF
• Coordinate the activities of the project, including project design, developing methodology and overseeing implementation
• Coordinate a flexible project team bringing in topical specialists, as required
• Manage the budget and accountability of finances
• Report on project progress of project at internal and external meetings
• Design and develop the project methodology in collaboration with subject matter experts
• Manage applications to ethics boards, multi-country partnerships at field at headquarters level and external partnerships
• Plan and coordinate activities of the project - internal communication and change management activities
• Manage and troubleshoot project risks with a declared risk register
• Maintain solid project administration, including managing the project budget
• Provide reports to: t he Chair of MSF TIC Steering Committee together with the OCA PHC project sponsor and  MSF Australia Board, together with the Chair of the MSF Australia TIC Committee.
• Ensure coherence and good cooperation within the project team and alignment of the different stakeholders and departments;
• Act as Organisational and Change lead for the project.

The role will require close liaison with the teams in London and Amsterdam, which means frequent travel to London and/or Amsterdam will be expected, in addition field travel.  Completion is expected by end 2021 when a minimum viable product is expected to be delivered.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Data & Analytics Manager is a new senior management position in the IBD Registry that reflects both our fast growth and increasing maturity. The primary function of this role is to manage the effective collection, curation and utilisation of clinical data, surgical data, patient reported outcomes and other relevant data.  The goal is to ensure quality IBD data is available to support our goals in quality improvement, service evaluation, pharmacovigilance / post-marketing surveillance and eventually research. You will especially play a key role in the curation, transformation and linkage of the IBD datasets required for the Hub with the Cambridge data specialists.

You will be part of a small and growing and highly collaborative team, reporting directly to and working closely with the CEO, as well as with clinical and academic data specialists including our Academic Lead, a doctor and senior academic in the Health Data department of the University of Liverpool.

ABOUT YOU

To be successful in this role you will be a delivery-focused problem-solver, both organised and adaptable, with massive attention to details and a practical hands-on style. You will have significant experience in data management across the data lifecycle, including ETL (using scripting languages such as Python, C#, JSON, XML), databases (primarily MySQL) and analytics environments (such as R/R Studio).  You will have a strong academic qualification record, showing a disciplined numerate background as a foundation for your later experience in data.  Ideally, you will have come from the healthcare or pharmaceutical industries, or as an alternative from a highly-regulated sector where both data protection and delivery are critical.

Above all, you need to believe in our mission and want to join us to make a difference: our small team makes a big difference in IBD across the UK and this needs to be more than ‘just a job’ for you.
