Community Management Jobs

The Centre for Justice Innovation seeks to build a justice system which all of its citizens believe is fair and effective. We provide hands on support to front-line practitioners, conduct research into how things work, and could work better, and promote evidence-based policy solutions.

We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic intern to support the work of the Centre’s Women In Justice Programme. The position is full-time for a fixed period of four months starting in September 2024 and pays the London Living Wage. Travel costs will also be reimbursed.

What will I be doing?

Evidence review

One of the primary roles you will undertake is a review of the existing evidence base around the profile and vulnerabilities of women engaged in the criminal justice system. This review will seek to synthesise evidence about both the prevalence of vulnerabilities of justice involved women and the mechanisms between those vulnerabilities and their offending. Findings from this evidence review will be key in supporting the development of messaging for policy makers, as well as contributing to the milestones below.

Analyse data to extract meaningful insights around the complex needs of women who come to court.

Our previous research into the vulnerabilities and unmet needs of people who come to court, and people’s experiences of the court process, all suggest that we must do much better to make the court process fairer. This is especially the case for women, who often have disproportionately high complex needs, and who often also have contact with the child protection system. This work will bring together evidence on the needs of women who come to court, in part by exploiting existing Community Advice service data to identify the number and profile of women attending court with support issues, as well as developing case studies. The evidence review will also play a core role in developing a picture of the evidence around the needs of women coming to court.

Contribute to the delivery of Women in Justice policy and practice priorities:

You will also support the delivery of our strategic aims in this area, in part through the findings of the evidence review. In particular, you will work with others to deliver the following milestones:

• Analyse findings from recent fieldwork to develop recommendations to promote long-lasting change for community support for women with substance use disorders. Findings from the evidence review will ensure the recommendations are concrete and practical for policymakers, local authority commissioners and service providers.

• Support the event management of a workshop convening practitioners working in, and interested in working in, problem-solving courts for women. Findings from the evidence review will be shared within the workshops to stimulate and inform discussions.

• Promote the evidence for the use of problem-solving courts for women with policymakers. Summary findings from the evidence review will support the development of messaging for policy makers.

Development and engagement

Beyond these milestones, you will also support the development of the Centre’s Women in Justice programme, helping us develop our capacity to articulate the links between our work on women in contact with the criminal justice system and other relevant areas of work including family justice, women’s substance use and violence against women and girls. This work may involve working on the development of funding bids and supporting the Women in Justice area of focus leads in their work and stakeholder engagement. You will also attend any relevant events and parliamentary meetings that happen during this time, such as APPGs and VAWG conferences.

Support across the research team

In addition to working on the evidence review, you will support other members of the research team with research activities as required. This might include activities such co-facilitating interviews, coding transcripts, and holding an online workshop with participants.

Falmouth & Exeter Students’ Union 

Chief Executive Officer  

Salary: £63,000-£65,000  

Location: Falmouth and Penryn, Cornwall  

Contract: Full time 

Are you looking for a role as an ambitious and collaborative leader, passionate about student experience? If so, we’re looking for a visionary leader who work closely with our elected officers, trustees and other stakeholders to progress our strategy and long-term sustainability of the Students’ Union.

About the Students’ Union  

We exist to represent over 8,000 of our members who are based mainly in Cornwall, but additionally we have a growing number of online and partnership students. Two-thirds of these are Falmouth University students and the remainder are from the University of Exeter. We are almost unique in the UK in serving two student cohorts from different universities some of whom share a campus. This presents an unusually complex context within which to exercise leadership. The students’ union operates across three sites. The Falmouth campus in the centre of town is solely for Falmouth’s Arts students, while Exeter’s medical students are based at a site in Truro. The Penryn campus is where most students are based and its successful operation is heavily reliant on a partnership between the two universities, FX Plus, a services company which delivers many of the central services on campus and the students’ union. The new CEO will have well-developed stakeholder management skills and the ability to engage effectively with complex partnerships in the interests of our students. 

About the role  

The Chief Executive will provide visionary leadership to ensure the long-term sustainability and strategic development of the Students’ Union (SU). Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive will drive the performance, development, and financial health of the SU, aligning its operations with its mission, vision, and values. This role requires fostering a collaborative and inclusive culture, supporting and empowering elected student leaders, and maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders across Falmouth University and the University of Exeter as well as, FX Plus and the wider community. 

The Chief Executive will work day-to-day with full-time and part-time elected student officers to communicate and implement the SU’s strategy and priorities effectively. The SU serves a diverse student membership from both universities studying in Cornwall. These students, although from different universities, share their university experience outside the lecture and seminar rooms, making it essential to enhance their overall student life and community engagement. 

Additionally, the Chief Executive will lead strategic planning, implement effective governance, and enhance the internal and external reputation of the SU, ensuring it meets the needs of its diverse membership and key stakeholders. 

We're a democratic, membership organisation and all students at the are automatically members of the Union. Overall legal responsibility for the Students' Union rests with our Board of Trustees which is made up of four full-time Sabbatical Officers, four student trustees and three external trustees. The Sabbatical officers are elected each year by, and from, the student membership of the University. They take a year out of their studies (or immediately after graduating) to take on a fulltime paid staff role and to serve as a trustee. 

Closing Date: Tuesday 27th August 8am  

First Stage Interviews (Remote): Monday 2nd September 

Final Interviews (In-person at the Penryn campus): Wednesday 11th September

Associate Technical Advisor

Salary:                          £42,344.81 per annum
Reporting to:               Deputy Director

Who we are

Unlimit Health is an international organisation working to end parasitic disease. We work closely with affected countries, sharing evidence and expertise to eliminate preventable infections. Our purpose is to support people to live healthy lives, free from limiting disease.  

Our vision is for resilient systems that sustain good health, so everyone everywhere can reach their full potential. We achieve this by working across multiple sectors in numerous countries to deliver effective and robust health programmes that have a lasting impact.

We were founded in 2002 with a £20m grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and started life as a research group, the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, within Imperial College London. Consistently ranked globally as one of the most cost-effective non-profit initiatives, we have received significant funding since our inception including from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), USAID and philanthropic investors.  

What we do

Our work includes:  

• Evidence-based disease elimination support  
• Cross-sectoral health systems strengthening  
• Building collaborative partnerships  

Our main area of focus is the elimination of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases (intestinal worms). Endemic infections of these parasitic worms are found in some of the world’s most marginalised communities, and they can have a hugely detrimental effect on individuals, including:  

• Reduced productivity  
• Internal organ damage  
• Impaired child development  
• Reduced school attendance  
• Increased risk of HIV in women  
• Infertility  

The role

The Associate Technical Advisor will support project management and provision of technical assistance to endemic country governments across a portfolio of NTD projects, with a focus on schistosomiasis (SCH) and soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH). Working with Deputy Directors and Technical Advisors within the Technical Team, the Associate Technical Advisor will contribute to planning and delivery of NTD programming, monitoring of progress and project outcomes, and reporting. 

Having excellent communication skills and a willingness to travel, the Associate Technical Advisor will have technical knowledge of global health issues and ideally also the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases and will support the wider team in working respectfully and in partnership with our colleagues globally. The Associate Technical Advisor will ideally also have experience working in sub-Saharan Africa and effectively managing daily priorities in a flexible and adaptable manner.

To apply 

To apply, please submit an up-to-date CV and covering letter outlining your suitability for the role according to the job description and person specification. 

Closing date:                   4th August 2024 at 23:59
Interview dates:              15th-16th August 2024 
Second interview:           21st August 2024

Please ensure you are available to attend an interview on these dates.

Applicants are required to have the right to work in the UK, and documentary evidence will be requested at the interview stage. 

Diversity Statement

We particularly welcome applications from candidates from under-represented groups to better reflect our mission and work to improve health equity.

Research has shown that women and people from racially marginalised groups are less likely to apply for a role if they do not meet 100% of the job criteria. Please consider applying even if you do not fully meet our essential criteria. We are happy to schedule an informal chat to discuss the role further prior to submitting an application.

Unlimit Health is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and celebrate differences in age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, religious beliefs, and socio-economic background.
