Compliance Officer Jobs in East Sussex

Deaf Unity is seeking an experienced evaluation specialist to support evaluation of the charity’s projects, community activity and services.

Our activities engage a broad range of beneficiaries, participants and stakeholders: deaf students and employees; our local deaf community in London; and many different stakeholders – universities, employers and local councils – working with us to remove the barriers that disadvantage deaf people and prevent access to opportunity. 

The overall aim of this commission is to equip Deaf Unity with a practical, effective evaluation framework and plan enabling us to capture and analyse our impact across the full range of our activities. We require this in order (i) to improve the design and delivery of our services and activities, on an ongoing basis and (ii) to evidence the charity’s impact and the difference we are making in people’s lives, helping us to make a more powerful case for change and to recruit new funders and partners.  

Deaf Unity: mission and purpose 

Deaf Unity is a deaf-led charity, based in London, that works to empower, nurture and train deaf individuals. Our particular focus is on three main points of transition that are pivotal in enabling deaf people to realise their potential – and to thrive within and contribute fully to society. These transition points are: 

• leaving school to enter further/higher education 

• entering the workforce 

• progressing in the workplace 

We work with our community in London to identify the barriers deaf people face at every stage of this journey, empowering them to make informed choices and to succeed. We partner with stakeholders (universities, employers, voluntary sector partners) to decrease, overcome or eradicate these barriers altogether. 

From our home base in London, we work alongside our community and partners to develop and deliver new initiatives in response to clearly identified needs. We directly engage 300+ deaf people each year: inspiring and supporting school-leavers to take their first steps into higher education; empowering graduates and employees to navigate the world of work with confidence; and connecting deaf people with each other to build community, tackle isolation, mobilise around key issues and break down barriers to learning and employment. Sharing and dissemination of our work (including online to reach the national community) goes on to engage far greater numbers. 

Deaf Unity generates much of its income from providing interpreting and consultancy services and delivering training (British Sign Language and deaf awareness courses).  This activity fully aligns with our charitable mission and generates essential unrestricted funding to support our wider activities. 

Context for the commission 

In late 2023, the Board of Trustees agreed a forward plan, setting out the charity’s objectives and the activities we plan to deliver over the next 3-5 years. Our work is guided by 5 high-level, strategic objectives. We aim that by 2028:

1. Deaf Unity will have created in partnership with London schools a high-quality, effective careers advice pack/toolkit which can be accessed digitally by schools across the UK to inspire and support deaf learners on their FE/HE/vocational journey.

2. Deaf Unity will be providing a comprehensive package of support around employability, that is recognised and in use by 5 leading nationwide employers and by the National Union of Students (NUS). 

3.  We will be hosting in London a highly respected, impactful annual event for deaf people in work that is reaching 100 deaf people each year, directly or indirectly 

4. Deaf Unity will be able to evidence that the CIO is making a substantial positive difference in the lives of learners, students and employees - through quantitative and qualitative feedback including testimonials and case studies 

5. Our organisation will be stable, financially secure and resilient, supported by strong governance and management systems and effective partnership networks

This commission directly supports objective 4. 

In parallel with this, Deaf Unity will work with an Organisational Development consultant to make the transition from a freelance to an effective and well-managed PAYE staffing structure for the organisation, with strong systems and policies embedded across our teams.

This programme of development activity is kindly funded by Trust for London. 

In the course of the year Deaf Unity will also be working with a corporate partner offering pro-bono support to redevelop the website and advise on online course delivery. 

Overview of role 

The evaluation specialist will be required to support Deaf Unity’s CEO and Training & Services Manager in developing an appropriate evaluation framework and action plan to be applied across the breadth of the charity’s activities, with supporting materials (e.g. questionnaires; interview prompts; other approaches). This is in the context of projects that often serve the deaf community, where written responses to feedback forms/online surveys are not always appropriate. 

The consultant will support the leadership team to put in place training (not included in the fee) and systems to ensure that freelance teams delivering Deaf Unity’s project and training activities have the necessary understanding, guidance and confidence to support effective monitoring and evaluation of these activities. 

Elements of Deaf Unity’s work to be included in this framework are:

• interventions designed to support deaf people in successfully navigating key points of transition 

• regular community activity: we are keen to assess e.g. the wellbeing and community-building aspects of Deaf Unity’s programmes 

• learners’ experiences of our training courses 

• formative evaluation: ensuring that new issues, lived experience and insights emerging through our regular community programmes feed into the charity’s plans and methodologies 

We are keen to adopt relevant technology solutions to strengthen our evaluation systems and processes, and to integrate these with existing systems (e.g. CRM) wherever possible. 

Schedule 

We aim to start work on this evaluation project in April 2025, completing by end November 2025. We expect most of the work to be carried out in the first 4 months, with light-touch support thereafter. The evaluator will be required to work flexibly throughout this period and this will be negotiated with you on appointment, bearing in mind your other commitments. 

Time commitment: Expected approx. 10 days in total 

Fees: Fixed fee is £4,500 inclusive of VAT and expenses 

Specification 

The evaluator will - 

• Guide development of a suitable evaluation framework and supporting action plan for  Deaf Unity’s year-round activity, to ensure that appropriate, relevant data and feedback are captured and analysed at relevant stages of delivery 

• Support the training of staff and volunteers, to equip teams with the necessary skills and competencies in inviting and capturing feedback 

• Advise on mechanisms for feeding community feedback into ongoing content and programme development/creation – and evidencing this process 

• Advise on and support the introduction of appropriate technology/systems to support monitoring, evaluation and reporting 

• Have due regard throughout the process to Deaf Unity’s charitable objects, so as to ensure that the evaluation process as a whole provides meaningful insights into the charity’s success in meeting these aims. 

Person specification 

Essential

• Evidenced skills and experience in evaluating the impact of activities and projects of this kind - from inception to final reporting 

• Experience of designing and implementing successful approaches to collecting data and feedback, that encourage input from a range of audiences/communities 

• Technically proficient, with experience of using modern technologies and methodologies to support and strengthen data collection, monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

• Exceptional communication and strong facilitation skills, coupled with sensitivity and a commitment to confidentiality; comfortable engaging with staff, participants, learners, and partners. 

• Ability to produce evaluations that not only support funding requirements but also inform future decision-making and strategic planning. 

Desirable 

• An understanding of the operating context of a charity such as ours, that is reliant on mixed income streams including fees, public grants and charitable grants. 

• Some knowledge of British Sign Language 

It is anticipated that you’ll work remotely with occasional attendance at Deaf Unity events/programmes.

About us

Foxglove is a litigation and campaigning nonprofit that exists to make the use of technology fair. When governments and major tech companies use technology to abuse their power, we investigate, litigate and campaign to make it right. 

Big Tech companies have become so large – gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data – that they’re now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere – threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers’ rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI.

Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We fight to reduce these anti-democratic behemoths’ size and power and we challenge them for abusing their workers. We also work to ensure public bodies use data and algorithms openly, fairly, and legally. 

We have a strong track record. We’ve launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech’s harmful business models, supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama – winning world-first judgements. We helped launch Africa’s first content moderators' union and are urging UK and EU regulators to halt Big Tech’s maneuvers to hoover up generative AI as it has the rest of our online world. We have forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for UK A level students, forced the government to pause the NHS Data Grab and challenged the Department of Work and Pension’s use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.

We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and impacted people. 

About you

You are an experienced lawyer with a strong interest in using the law to hold governments and companies to account. You understand change doesn’t only take place within the walls of the court and that movements only succeed when they’re inclusive, making as many people as possible see they have a stake in these issues. You are a self-starter with the initiative to find opportunities, but the team-spiritedness to contribute to a shared goal and celebrate others’ work. If that’s you, and the Foxglove mission excites you, we would love to hear from you.

The role

The post holder will be responsible for managing Foxglove’s legal team and legal work.

Premier League Stadium Fund Technical Executive

The role is home-based, with regular travel to sites and facilities. Occasional travel to further locations and our main office at Wembley Stadium may be required to support business needs.

We currently have a vacancy in the Premier League Stadium Fund for a Technical Executive to support the Stadium Accreditation Programme and to support the assessment of applications to  the Premier League Stadium Fund.

Premier League Stadium Fund

The Premier League Stadium Fund (PLSF) provides grants to improve stadium facilities for players, supporters, and officials. Supporting over 1,000 clubs, it aids teams in the National League System (Steps 1-6), Women’s Football Pyramid (Tiers 1-4), and newly promoted EFL clubs.

Through its Stadium Accreditation Programme, PLSF collects facility data for The FA, ensuring targeted investment. This digital process helps clubs track required works and report improvements. By funding upgrades, PLSF helps non-league and women’s clubs meet standards, avoid relegation, secure promotion, and enhance financial sustainability and matchday experiences.

Football Foundation

Whilst the Technical Executive will be responsible for the successful delivery of the Premier League Stadium Fund, they will be employed by the Football Foundation, and therefore it’s important that they understand the wider context – in terms of what we do and how we go about it.

The Football Foundation transforms lives and communities by creating great places to play. As an independent charity, we work in partnership with the Premier League, The FA, and Sport England to invest in community sports facilities. With an additional £205 million government investment in grassroots football over the next three years, we are well-positioned to continue improving pitches and facilities nationwide.

The role

The PLSF Technical Executive will support Stadium Accreditation for clubs in National League System Steps 5-6 and Women’s Football Pyramid Tiers 3-4, ensuring grounds meet FA standards on time. The role includes reviewing grant applications, managing risks, and aiding stadium development. This entry-level role provides hands-on experience in stadium design, development, and compliance. You'll support the PLSF grant process and Stadium Accreditation Programme, working with clubs to ensure grounds meet FA standards. Responsibilities include reviewing grant applications, managing risks, and supporting stadium development.

We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals eager to develop professionally. A qualification in a construction field (Level 4 HNC or HND minimum) is required. You don’t need a passion for football or in-depth knowledge of the football pyramid—your technical or construction background is what matters most. Successful applicants will gain hands-on experience in grant management and technical processes while working with an experienced team. Over time, you'll manage your own portfolio of clubs, guiding them to meet Stadium Accreditation requirements on schedule.

What are we looking for?

You’ll need an HNC/HND (Level 4/5) in a construction-related field and some experience on building sites, with knowledge of construction processes and quality standards. Understanding the FA’s league structures is desirable but not essential. We support team development and progression. To be eligible for promotion to a Technical Manager role, a degree in a construction-related field is required. With the right degree, we aim to prepare you for promotion within two to three years.You’ll need strong people skills to engage and motivate others while managing projects from start to finish. Excellent organisation is essential, balancing multiple tasks, prioritising, and meeting deadlines without compromising quality.

For more details about the role, please download the recruitment pack.

What can we offer you?

The salary band for this role is £26,000 - £30,000 per annum. This will be reviewed periodically, providing opportunities for your salary to grow as you develop and gain experience in the role. You’ll start with 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing after 2 years), and additional time off for volunteering. Benefits include an 8% employer pension contribution, free healthcare, gym subsidy, death in service benefit, and access to match tickets.

We are seeking to appoint someone with a business and communications skill-set and a strong track-record of managing people. The successful candidate must be a strategic thinker with excellent interpersonal skills and have values aligned with ours. You will help us to further diversify our income streams and to communicate our work effectively to a diverse range of educators and stakeholders including government, Parliamentarians and the public.

Sex Education Forum was founded in 1987 and became an independent charity in 2021. We convene over 70 Partner organisations to make sure that the relationships and sex education (RSE) young people get is right for them and the best it can be. We train educators and share research with teachers, school leaders and policy-makers. We will soon be launching a new three-year strategy and have secured multi-year funding to further embed youth inclusion in our work. Having doubled our staff team over the last two years we have identified the need for a new senior post, which will be a cross-cutting role working closely with the CEO, enabling us to realise the ambitions of our strategy, and systematically development all areas of our business.

This is an incredible opportunity for an experienced business development manager, to bring your skillset to a thriving, innovative and highly respected leading national charity. This will be a rewarding role, with huge potential to grow your leadership skills and empower others and to make a difference to the lives of children and young people.

We are particularly keen to hear from applicants that reflect the diversity of educators and young people that Sex Education Forum seeks to support.

Funding has been secured which provides scope for extension of the fixed term contract.
