Introduction

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis (CF). We fund vital research, improve care, speak out and race towards effective treatments for all. We won’t stop until everyone with cystic fibrosis can live without limits.  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system.  It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK.

In recent years, improvements in the treatments for CF have transformed the symptoms and quality of life experienced by many, but not all of the community.  The enormous leap forward that has been made is both wonderful and challenging and brings new support needs.

With better health, more people with CF now want to plan careers, but need to balance this with management of their condition.  Others still need support with barriers to work or help to navigate their rights at work when they need to focus on their health.  This led us to create Work Forwards, a dedicated programme of career, work and employment support for the CF community.

Background about the Work Forwards Programme

Building on the foundations of our existing financial and welfare support, our Work Forwards employment programme aims to give people with CF the confidence and skills to move towards secure, fulfilling employment which fits around their health needs.

Having secured three-year funding from the National Lottery Community Fund in autumn 2022, since then the programme has been helping people affected by CF with work, employment and careers. The project’s ultimate aim is to ensure they have the finances and resources to stay as well as possible and live a long, fulfilling life.

The project employs two staff and sits within our wider support service team lead by the Head of Support and Programmes. There are a number of key deliverables for the project including one-to-one support and guidance, online sessions, information resources, and a case study library. Outcome measures are focused on improing skills and confidence and ensuring people affected by CF can navigate barriers to work and employment.

Project Brief

We are now looking to evaluate the programme and seeking a freelance/consultant with expertise in evaluating programmes.

Working closely with Cystic Fibrosis Trust throughout, the consultant will design, implement and deliver an evaluation to enable us to monitor and assess to what extent the project is achieving the programme aims and make recommendations for future delivery.

The overall aim of this work is to compile and provide us with a comprehensive, well-presented, and easy-to-read independent report to demonstrate to what extent we have met the outcomes intended throughout this project, as described in the funding proposal.

The deadline for when we need this report completed is July 2025 and which we can then submit to the National Lottery Community Fund and use this to inform the development of future funding bids. 

Key Deliverables

· Quickly develop a deep understanding of our project and anticipated project outcomes.

· Work with us to quickly develop the ways in which we will evaluate how we have achieved the project outcomes, through qualitative and quantitative data collection.

· Take lead responsibility for ensuring all research data and information is collected as required, to inform the development of a comprehensive report.

· Liaise with us throughout the process to ensure the report is developed to the standard we expect.

· By July 2025, provide us with an excellent final report which tells the story of the delivery of our project, the challenges, learnings and how we have met the project outcomes.

· Suggest a suitable methodology, within timeframe and budget, but we would expect it to include;

1. - Interviews with beneficiaries who have been involved in the programme.
2. - A review of key documents and resources produced through the programme.
3. - Interviews/focus groups with people affected by CF to identify any future needs around work and employment not covered by the programme.
4. - Review and compilation of all impact and evaluation data collected through the programme.
5. - Review of the successes and challenges of the programme so far, to support us to learn from these and to suggest where they may be gaps in delivery/further opportunities to help us shape our possible future work in this area.

Indicative Budget

There is budget available to deliver this project and this is up to a maximum of £6,000. This must cover all costs to complete this work, including consultant fees, and any materials and resources needed to undertake the research and data-gathering element of the project.

It is accepted that it may be the responsibility of some other providers (including ourselves) to collect and provide some of the data required.

Role Requirements

The successful person will:

· Be a suitably experienced project consultant, researcher and report-writer.

· Have knowledge of delivery of funded programmes within a charity, particularly those funded by NLCF.

· Ideally understand work and employment programmes in a charity environment.

· Ideally have lived experience of cystic fibrosis – this will be a distinct advantage.

Make a Difference with The Makhad Trust!

Position: Project/Operations Manager (Part-time)

Location: UK-based with travel to South Sinai, Egypt

About Us: The Makhad Trust is a UK registered charity dedicated to sustaining the environment and natural heritage of the Bedouin tribes in the Sinai Mountains and Desert in Egypt. Our focus on supporting them is by renewing access to water and supporting traditional lifestyles. The Bedouin are a marginalised community, who are barred from many forms of employment yet receive little or no help from Egyptian authorities. A 15+ year drought dried up wells, then collapse of the tourism industry in 2013 bought unemployment, and huge floods have filled in wells. Access to drinking water is difficult. The Trust gives support through restoration of wells for drinking and growing food, and building small dams, and small projects such as beekeeping training, herb growing and carpentry training. Restored wells provide drinking water and ability to grow crops for eating, promoting health and well being, and for income.

About the Role: This unique UK based dual role combines fundraising and administration in the UK with practical project initiatives in Sinai, Egypt. You will be instrumental in transforming lives by ensuring access to clean water and supporting sustainable livelihoods in a unique way by both supporting Sinai Trust in office operationally and directly in the field. The successful candidate will be travelling to Sinai for 2 weeks 4 times per year and will involve visiting ongoing well restorations, assessing new wells for restoration, cataloguing the costs by the well owner, and paying the well owner for the work done. Some of these will be easier to access, given their proximity to nearby roads compared to others which require a 3 hour walk into the high mountains to reach with steep mountainside journeys with no visible paths so the successful candidate will need to be mountain fit. Through these journeys you will be accompanied by our Sinai manager who is a Bedouin from the local town and will act as a guide and provide local knowledge. 

Key Responsibilities:

Office-Based Impact:

• • Apply for funding and liaise with funders.

• • Write reports, keep records, and track income and expenditure.

• • Update spreadsheets and plan journeys.

• • Engage with stakeholders to communicate the impact of our projects.

Field-Based Impact:

• • Travel to Sinai four times a year for two-week periods.

• • Visit ongoing well restorations and assess new wells for restoration.

• • Catalogue costs and pay well owners for completed work. Log information about restoration at well sites and enter data into spreadsheets.

• • Navigate rugged landscapes, including high mountains and steep paths, to reach remote wells.

• • Visit and support various small projects facilitated by the Trust.

About You:

• Proficient with Numbers/Excel spreadsheets and able to write reports, funding applications, and newsletters.
• Good at planning, risk management, and practical tasks.
• Numerate, self-directed, and comfortable working and traveling alone.
• Understanding of different cultural norms and not risk-averse.
• Mountain fit, experienced in trekking and camping, and sure-footed.
• A team player with good leadership skills, self-reliant, adaptable, and able to replan on the go.
• Trustworthy, honest, tactful, and diplomatic.
• Curious, eager to learn, and knows when to seek advice.
• Able to work in the summer heat of Egypt.
