The Youth Endowment Fund is a bold new attempt to put early intervention at the heart of efforts to tackle youth offending.

Over the last few years, evidence has suggested that growing numbers of children and young people have been affected by violent crime. More children have been found carrying knives and a growing number have been recorded as victims. We believe that each individual statistic is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We were founded by youth charity Impetus and its partners the Early Intervention Foundation and the Social Investment Business. We exist to prevent children and young people from getting caught up in violent crime. Many organisations have this calling. Our unique role is to identify what works best and to spread the good news.

We do this by funding, evaluating and then spreading the very best work on reducing youth violence across England and Wales. Overseeing all of our work is the Committee. This Committee directs our work. It is not advisory. The Committee meets quarterly. It reviews our performance and financial management. It has final sign off on grant making decisions. The Chair line manages our Executive Director. It operates as the effective Board of the Youth Endowment Fund. We are looking for a new member of the Committee.

It is important that all the Committee's decisions are grounded in a deep knowledge of the issues, evidence and experiences of young people. A critical part of this knowledge is lived experience. We are looking to appoint a new member to the Committee who has both lived experience and expertise in the issues surrounding youth violence. We would welcome applications from all backgrounds; we want to build a Committee with a diverse set of experiences.

We are looking for you if:

• ESSENTIAL: You have lived experience of the issues surrounding youth violence either as a young person or as someone working with young people effected by youth violence.
• Our work motivates you. You want to commit time to reducing the level of youth violence. You are excited by the idea of using research and rigorous evidence to improve the lives of young people.
• You have experience of being on or presenting to senior leadership teams, boards or committees.
• You are comfortable and would enjoy being part of decisions about the future of the organisation, the risks it faces and the finances.
• You enjoy taking on brand new information and using it to make wise and informed judgements.
• You build positive relationships with people from all backgrounds including senior stakeholders and young people. You are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion.
• You like working as part of a team. You enjoy providing advice and guidance.
• You are comfortable with committing to being a member of the Committee for an initial period of three years which involves meetings roughly once a quarter for two hours and engaging with emails outside of this on a roughly fortnightly basis.

LIVERPOOL CARES: PROGRAMME COORDINATOR (LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR)

• Salary: £26,000 (plus travel)
• 12-month contract (37.5 hours per week)
• 26 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible working hours

Liverpool Cares is a community network reducing loneliness and isolation amongst older and younger people alike; improving the connection, belonging, purpose and power of all participants; and bringing people together to bridge the gaps across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

In your new role as Liverpool Cares’ Programme Coordinator (Love Your Neighbour), you will own and lead our Love Your Neighbour programme across the city. 

You will work closely with our Head of Programmes and the rest of our small team to develop, deepen and expand Love Your Neighbour. You will meet older and younger people in communities all across Liverpool, create friendships across the generations, support those friendships to deepen and thrive, and ensure our safeguarding, records and storytelling procedures are upheld to the highest standards.

You will be introducing yourself to older neighbours in various circumstances – from the most active, outgoing fun-loving 90-somethings to people with huge and complex challenges navigating complicated situations. You will need to diligently articulate Liverpool Cares’ vision and the aims and objectives of our Love Your Neighbour programme so that all participants – including older and younger neighbours, family members, health agencies, councils and other partners – understand the role we play.

And you will need to support those neighbours to get the most out of their mutually beneficial relationships – through our check-in processes, regular reviews, informal encouragement, digital storytelling and other reporting requirements, so that Liverpool Cares can continue to grow and the relationships we build continue to thrive.

You will regularly be out in the community, meeting older neighbours joining the network for the first time, hosting evening inductions for new volunteers, making matches in people’s homes, working with colleagues across Liverpool Cares and the rest of The Cares Family, and holding meetings with various referral organisations and other partners key to the successful delivery of the Love Your Neighbour project and our overall vision.

We therefore need someone who understands and is motivated by the demographics and social challenges of our proud home city and the issues we work on – and who is passionate about people and can clearly promote our vision for building friendships across traditional divides in order to tackle isolation and loneliness.

We are looking for someone who can talk to and relate to people from all backgrounds, no matter their circumstances – someone equally comfortable discussing illness and isolation with a 95-year-old housebound older neighbour as they are talking about work and weddings with a 25-year-old. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. 

Please read the full job description and details on how to apply via Liverpool Cares' website

Fixed term contract for 36 Months
 
Our client is working to bring wildlife back to our land and seas and make nature a part of life, for everyone. They’re helping to make life better – for wildlife, for people and for future generations.

Their vision is a world where people are close to nature, with land and seas rich in wildlife. But the climate and the natural world are in crisis. Much of our wildlife has disappeared and wild places are becoming smaller and disconnected from each other. This contributes to the climate emergency and, at the same time, means wildlife is less able to adapt to the changes in climate that we are already seeing. Across society, people are suffering from lack of access to, and connection with, nature. We urgently need nature to recover.
 
They are currently looking for a Marine Planning Officer to help influence offshore wind development policy and the marine spatial planning process to improve the quality of decisions taken at a project and strategic level.

The role will deliver the Trusts’ belief that development in the marine environment should be the right technology, in the right place, and not at the expense of the natural environment. 

They are looking for someone with the following:

Good knowledge of marine biodiversity, marine ecosystems and maritime industries.
A degree or equivalent in a relevant subject.
Knowledge of marine science and legislation and experience of policy work.
Experience of networking with a wide range of people.
Excellent written and spoken communication for a wide range of audiences.
Understanding of marine wildlife conservation issues. 
Project management skills.
Full current UK driving licence and use of own car 
 
About the company:
