About Kidney Research UK:

Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.

At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.

Over the last ten years we have invested more than £65 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

ShareAction is an independent charity and an expert on responsible investment. We work to build a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. We set ambitious standards for how financial institutions, through their investment decisions, can protect our planet and its people and campaign for this approach to become the norm. We convene shareholders to collectively push companies to tackle the climate crisis, protect nature, improve workers’ rights and shape healthier societies. In the UK and EU, we advocate for financial regulation that has society’s best interests at its core.

ShareAction’s Financial Sector Research (FSR) team researches a variety of sectors’ performance and publishes regular rankings and analysis, as well as engaging with each surveyed institution and providing them with detailed recommendations for improvement. The FSR team also supports other campaign teams within ShareAction by providing relevant data and increasingly aims to share more data externally, too.

What you’ll do

The Senior Research Officer will contribute to this research, collecting information from institutions and databases, analysing quantitative and qualitative data, producing engaging content, and translating this analysis into actionable steps for institutions in our reports.

The focus of this role is to support the production and publication of our survey of the European banking sector. In this role, you will work closely with colleagues in both the Financial Sector Research and the Banking Standards teams to:

• Develop a methodology that is consistent with other financial sector benchmarks published by ShareAction, reflects recent market developments, draws on internal and external subject matter expertise, and reflects our campaign priorities.
• Collect, audit and analyse data regarding banks’ climate and sustainability strategies.
• Produce accurate and engaging written reports and data visualisations summarising the key findings of the research and drafting credible and persuasive recommendations.
• Support the presentation of the survey’s findings to banks, investors, funders, and the media.
• Contribute to responses to external consultations from regulators, policymakers, and other NGOs and support data sharing with external partners as appropriate.

The survey and benchmark of the European banking sector will be led by the Banking Programme team, with support from the Financial Sector Research team. This role will sit within the Financial Sector Research team, to benefit from the experience and processes already established for ShareAction’s asset management and insurance benchmarks. While you will focus on the survey of the European banking sector, there will be an opportunity to contribute to and learn about the other financial sector benchmarks as part of this role.

In this role, your responsibilities will include:

• Analysing quantitative and qualitative data and writing reports on banks’ responsible finance performance.
• Coordinating between the Financial Sector Research and Banking Standards teams to ensure consistency across ShareAction’s financial sector benchmarks.
• Conducting research across the themes covered by the benchmarks that draws on internal and external resources to inform survey development and data analysis.
• Using Excel and Python to analyse and organise large data sets (training will be provided for Python if needed).
• Participating in engagement calls with banks and answering technical questions relating to the research content.
• Presenting findings of our work to external and internal stakeholders through blogs, presentations, webinars, and roundtables and supporting the coordination of these events as appropriate.
• Organising and planning work with a high level of autonomy.
• Supporting the monitoring, evaluation and learning of our work.
• Contributing to funding bids and reporting on KPIs to funders where appropriate.
• Supporting the wider Financial Sector Research team to deliver other pieces of research, particularly the asset manager and insurance sector benchmarks.
• Keeping up to date on relevant news and information on the financial sector and the thematic areas covered by our work.

What you’ll bring to the team

This a very exciting time to be joining ShareAction as we seek to develop our benchmarks to increase their impact. In this rapidly evolving field, we are looking for a person with excellent research and communication skills and a passion to make a difference to join our team. We will ensure that you receive sufficient support and oversight to ensure you feel comfortable and knowledgeable in delivering this bold and challenging research.

We welcome anyone who shares our passion for environmental and social justice through the transformation of the financial sector. Please feel free to apply even if you’re not sure you tick every box.

Essential

• Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and a proven ability to conduct qualitative and quantitative research.
• A broad understanding of how the financial sector works and how financial institutions can have an impact on environmental and social issues.
• A keen interest in driving the finance sector (particularly asset managers and insurers) to better serve people and planet.
• Excellent organisational skills and a proven ability to manage competing demands while still meeting deadlines.
• Strong communication skills in written and spoken English.
• Competency with Microsoft Excel, including writing formulae and building charts.
• Strong team-working skills with the ability to work collaboratively.
• A passion for ShareAction’s vision, mission, and values.

Desirable

• Subject matter knowledge in climate change, biodiversity, or human/labour rights.
• Knowledge of/experience with the finance sector; an understanding of responsible investment and its implications for different types of financial institutions.
• Understanding of how private commercial banks operate and what products and services they offer to corporate and retail clients.
• Advanced data visualisation skills.
• Experience giving presentations.
• Any experience in programming, particularly an interest in learning Python for data processing.
• Experience managing relationships with external stakeholders.
• Experience with Microsoft Office 365, particularly SharePoint.
• Experience with CRM systems, ideally Salesforce.

We are currently formalising our hybrid working policy; however, the FSR team normally meets in the office on a weekly basis, with some flexibility possible.

What we will do for you

We are a fast-paced organisation that has grown substantially over the past few years. We recognise that our people work hard to advocate for responsible investment and drive meaningful engagement with those who have the power to create a brighter future. Every day, they bring their expertise, passion and persistence to build a world where the financial system serves our people and planet.

At Public Law Project (PLP), we ensure that public law principles, including the rule of law and human rights, are protected and advanced, with the experiences of those most marginalised in society in mind.

PLP plays a leading role fighting some of the most egregious public law violations of our day. We have worked on issues including the prorogation, the Rwanda policy, the attempt to go back on the promises made to the Windrush generation, and the near total collapse of legal aid, and so much more. Yet you may never have heard of us. We are looking for a Communications and Engagement Director to help us change that.  

With a new government in place, this is an exciting time to raise the profile of PLP and our mission. We are developing a new strategy which we expect to crystalise our role countering the rise of the far right, advancing public law into new areas such as preventing Government misuse of AI, and continuing to stand with the most marginalised in society. Your role will be critical in ensuring our voice has impact and we have the resources to implement our strategy. 

You will develop and oversee a new organisational communications plan, focusing on brand-building, and media outreach. Reporting to the CEO directly, you will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team and work closely with the Board and other stakeholders to enhance PLP’s impact and reputation, as well as guide and implement our strategy.

Leading the Communications and Engagement team, you will direct all external communications, provide thought leadership for PLP events, oversee grant fundraising efforts and relaunch fundraising from philanthropic individuals. You will be an excellent manager providing empowering leadership for members of your team and maintaining and inclusive work culture that promotes staff wellbeing. You will also be great at working with other departments including our casework, research and policy teams. 

This is a permanent, open to full time and part time applications of at least four days per week. PLP offers flexible working from day one, a wide-ranging wellbeing programme, 25 days annual leave (plus festive period closure), and 10% employer pension after 12 months. 

PLP is an equal opportunity and Disability Confident Employer, and we place a high value on diversity. We are proud of our strong diversity right across the organisation and at all levels of seniority. We have significant numbers of staff who come from underprivileged or minoritised backgrounds (including people of colour, women, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds). The majority of our staff and trustees have lived experience that relates to our work. Whether you are part of all or none of these groups, you will be welcomed at PLP. 

As part of our commitment to recruit fairly we use anonymised-selection processes until interview, make an additional interview available for the highest-scoring candidates from under-represented communities, and use ‘tie-breaker’ provisions at all stages of our selection process.
