About James’ Place

James’ Place Charity was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and

suicidal thoughts, but didn’t find it. James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. James’ Place offers men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment. Men who walk through the door at James’ Place will be in a space where they feel valued and respected.

The first James’ Place opened in June 2018 in Liverpool, the first of its kind in the UK, and has to date supported more than 2,300 men experiencing suicidal crisis through our innovative and safe therapeutic intervention.

Global Health 50/50 (GH5050) is an independent, evidence-driven initiative to advance action and accountability for gender justice.

GH5050 was formed around a unique model which brings together the rigour of academic research, the knowledge of how policy change can occur and the momentum of advocates and communicators to catalyse progress on gender equality.

GH5050’s mission is ‘To improve health, well-being, and social justice through the promotion of human rights, particularly in relation to gender equality, by conducting research, disseminating the useful results of such research, and providing information, advice and advocacy.’

Established in 2017, GH5050 is a non-profit organisation (as a UK registered Charity) headquartered in Cambridge, UK, that initially focussed on the health sector and is increasingly active in other sectors, globally and at country level.

Context

Through our flagship annual report and Gender and Health Index, GH5050 provides the only bird’s-eye view of gender, inclusion and equality in the global health sector today. The report assesses 200 organisations across a core set of variables on policies and practices to tackle power and privilege imbalances within the workplace, the gender and geography of organisational leadership, and whether gender is considered in any organisations' external-facing programmatic or policy work.

Based on an approach honed over seven years, GH5050 is planning to now produce rigorous data on the state of gender equality within the finance sector where we will review approximately 200 organisations at the global level. We will subsequently apply a similar approach and methodology in the finance sector at the country level in at least one country. Working with research and advocacy partners, supported by a to be established advisory group, experts and a team of research consultants, GH5050 plans to leverage the data to engage with the assessed organisations directly. The work undertaken by GH5050 in the finance sector is part of a wider advocacy coalition supported by our funder aiming to drive organisational change for a more diverse, inclusive and equitable global finance sector.

The successful candidate for this post is expected to play an integral role in contributing to the growth of GH5050, as well as taking a leading role in developing, managing, growing and taking ownership for this exciting new area of work.

Role Summary

You will join a small and growing team of staff working at GH5050, taking responsibility for the first (and subsequent) Gender & Finance report(s) (title TBA). The role will involve: project design and management; overseeing and conducting research (and its quality assurance) and policy analysis; establishing and maintaining strong working relationships with partner organisations as well as with other GH5050 staff; and working with the communications team to ensure impactful dissemination, and engagement.
