About the Organisation:

The Just Finance Foundation (JFF) seeks to create a financially resilient nation where every individual has equal opportunity to thrive. JFF works with schools, communities, the banking sector, policy makers and regulators, to equip the people who families trust with the confidence, knowledge, and inspiration to educate the next generation and build financially capable communities. The Education team’s focus is currently developing and promoting financial literacy tools for primary schools to help children and their families learn about money.

The Role:

We are looking to support our small but ambitious organisation with a part-time Impact and Insights Manager. This new role will implement positive systems to allow feedback and learnings to be shared and incorporated into ongoing programme development.

As the Impact and Insights Manager, you will work with the Head of Financial Education to refine and improve the overall approach to JFF’s impact management processes and outcomes framework.

The Person:

• A proactive self-starter who thrives in an environment that rewards self-direction while working to achieve set targets and outcomes.
• A detail-oriented planner who is keen to work out the “how” and not just the “what” of how impact data will be gathered, and insights will be analysed.
• An experienced data enthusiast who values the process of effective gathering, analysing, and storing of data and regularly seeks ways to improve data approaches.
• A creative innovator keen to use our Theory of Change to design an M&E approach and methodologies along with any supporting resources required.

The Fight for Peace Life Champions course is an online course for sports coaches who want to learn how to use their sport as a tool for youth development. It is designed to help coaches expand their impact to include supporting the personal development of young people. The course will increase their confidence (through increasing awareness, knowledge, and skills) to help young people develop key skills that will support them in sport and in life beyond the sport. Coaches will learn about the values and behaviours of a Life Champions coach, build an understanding of how to create a Life Champions environment, think about equality, diversity and inclusion, and develop practical ideas to support young people to develop Life Champions skills.

We are recruiting a Policy and Campaigns Manager to take forward our work on household debt. This role plays a key part in our campaign to end the UK’s household debt crisis.

Over ten million people in the UK are now ‘overindebted’, meaning they are behind on bills or are finding their debt repayments a heavy financial burden. The crisis has been growing over the last decade but has increased dramatically because of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. More and more people are now borrowing to cover bills and essentials.

Our campaign combines community organising with national level campaigning and advocacy work to bring the voices of those most affected by the debt crisis to the fore in debates on policy solutions. You will use your policy and campaigning expertise to help ensure the people most impacted by problem household debt have a say in influencing the policies that affect them. You will work on issues such as the growth in council tax debt and bailiff use, the huge build up in energy debt as a result of the cost of living crisis and making insolvency policy and practice fairer and more accessible so more people can get out of debt.

You will be a key member of our household debt project team, working alongside the Head of Campaigns, Head of Policy and Advocacy, Digital Campaigner and Lead  Organiser.

We are looking for someone with great policy analysis and advocacy skills, a strong campaigning mindset, and a passion for social justice. We are not expecting you to already be an expert in all aspects of the role or in household debt policy but are looking for someone with the potential to develop quickly. Crucially, you will also need to appreciate why taking a community organising approach and building the power of people affected by debt is important, though you do not need to have experience in community organising.

This role will require some evening and weekend working, though this will be infrequent.

We strongly value diversity and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds. We would particularly like to encourage applications from women and non-binary people, people of colour, people who identify as LGTBQIA+ and people who identify as working class or have done in the past. If you have a question about location or any other aspect of the role, please do get in touch.
