About Us

The Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS) is a charitable organisation that works across health and social care, UK-wide. For over three decades FoNS has supported nurses and midwives, and their teams to transform their ways of working towards care, practice and culture that is person-centred. 

Purpose of the role

Co-production in terms of design, delivery and evaluation is fundamental to the programme, and so we are looking for a person with direct lived experience of MHLDA inpatient services to join the FoNS team and to lead on co-production, bringing a lived experience lens to our team.

As an organisation we recognise that FoNS is at the start of our co-production journey. So, whilst the primary focus of the role is leading the co-production element of the mental health programme, working closely with the programme lead, a secondary purpose is supporting the development of co-production throughout the organisation.

Responsibilities will primarily consist of:

· Working as part of the FoNS Leadership Team for the FoNS Ward Manager Programme including attending relevant meetings with NHS England

· Playing a leading role and taking operational responsibility for co-production within the FoNS Ward Manager Programme. This includes meaningful engagement of persons with lived experience of mental health, learning disabilities and autism, families and carers, and staff throughout programme design, delivery, governance and evaluation

· Working as a part of the FoNS team, bringing a lived experience lens to support, promote and develop co-production across the organisation

· Understanding lived experience from a range of sources ensuring a broad demographic is represented and feed this into the FoNS team and co-production work

· Visibly advocating for lived experience involvement for FoNS

· Contributing to the ongoing development and lived reality of the FoNS’ ways of working

· Supporting FoNS with the co-creation of their next strategy which will commence in November 2024

A picture of day-to-day working might include:

· Preparing for and contributing to relevant meetings and monthly reports for NHS England

· Contacting, building relationships with, and offering support to persons with lived experience who are already or who may be interested in contributing to the co-production work

· Working with FoNS Finance to ensure all persons involved are fairly paid for their participation

· Meeting with FoNS Ward Manager Programme Lead to discuss ideas for evaluation of the current programme to inform co-production work moving forward

· Planning and facilitating online and face-to-face groups as part of the co-production process

· Meeting with FoNS Programme Leads to develop a wider understanding of FoNS’ work

As an organisation on a journey towards equality, diversity and inclusion, we welcome applications from all sections of the community and all backgrounds, including those with a lived experience of MHLDA, those from ethnic minority groups, those with disabilities and those from the LGBTQ+ community.

The deadline for applications is 5pm Friday 16th August 2024.

Interviews can be held either face-to-face or online according to personal preference. These will be arranged during the first two weeks of September 2024. 

Thrive at Five’s vision is a society where every child can thrive and achieve their potential. Our mission is to help children in their early years develop strong foundations for life and learning. Focusing on some of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities, our place-based model supports positive development from pregnancy to five. We achieve sustainable change by unlocking the power of parents and carers and enabling collaboration to coordinate and strengthen early years systems and pathways of support.

Since Thrive at Five was founded, the organisation has grown considerably with programmes in Stoke-on-Trent, Redcar and Cleveland, and a third pathfinder in Scotland starting later this year and a fourth earmarked. We are at an exciting moment as we look to expand our brilliant team and bring in additional skills needed for Thrive at Five to continue embedding our existing work in Stoke-on-Trent and Redcar and Cleveland and scale our work to a further two places across the UK over the next couple of years, doubling our reach and impact.

To help us in this next phase of development, we are recruiting for a newly created position - Senior Evaluation and Data Manager. This exciting role will report to the Director of Learning and Impact and work alongside the Senior Evaluation and Research Manager. The role will have two main areas of focus. First, the role will help lead a rolling schedule of formative evaluations on activities in local sites including pre-and-post quantitative outcomes analysis. Second, the role will support local learning and high-quality implementation through harnessing the power of quantitative data.  

You will be a skilled evaluation and learning professional with strong skills in quantitative data analysis. You will also be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and committed to the need for continued learning and improvement, as a basis for achieving Thrive at Five’s ambition to develop an effective and replicable place-based model for supporting early childhood development.

To apply, please submit your CV and a two-page supporting statement, preferably in Microsoft Word/PDF format. The statement should outline your motivation for wanting to join Thrive at Five and why you feel you would be a good fit for this role. You should also demonstrate your experience and skillset with examples relating to the Person Specification in the Job Pack. 

The closing date and time for applications is 5pm on Monday 12 August. Interviews will ideally be held in the week commencing 19 August.
