About the campaign
Our Campaign for Disability Justice, launched in September last year, is a vital initiative to tackle the systemic issues trapping over two million Disabled people in deep poverty. We address the root causes: inefficient social security regardless of employment status, barriers to employment for those capable of work, and a negative public discourse perpetuated by Government. The Campaign calls on Government to collaborate with Disabled People's Organisations to achieve these crucial changes.
Considering current Green Paper proposals and further benefit cuts announced in last month’s budget, our Campaign is has never been more needed. Join us to help prevent further impoverishment of Disabled people, as we work to oppose these cuts.

About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children from becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to change things.
In recent years, violent crime involving children has increased. This is a tragedy. Every child is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment that exists to prevent children from becoming involved in violence. We will achieve this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice. To make this happen we fund, evaluate and then spread the very best work on reducing violence affected young people across England and Wales.
Central to all of this to is two key tasks: firstly, deciding which initiatives we should fund and evaluate and secondly, ensuring we do this excellently. Our Programmes Team is central to getting this done. This team is responsible for planning specific rounds of funding that will fill evidence gaps and identifying, assessing, funding and supporting initiatives designed to prevent violence affecting young people. This way we build evidence on what works so that we can change national practice and policies.
Key responsibilities
You are a key member of the Programmes team. As a Programme and Impact Lead, you will line manage Programme Managers and be responsible for managing some of our larger grant awards, that include more complex evaluation designs. You’ll be responsible for making sure our delivery organisations can effectively engage with robust, independent evaluations, so we have the best chance of generating valuable learning from a round. And you may also be responsible for directly managing our independent evaluators as well.
You must have a strong understanding of evaluation methodologies and challenges organisations face in delivery. You must also be a brilliant project manager, great at managing and developing people and external stakeholders, energised by tackling complex problems and really care about the YEF’s mission to build evidence of what works.
Your main responsibilities boil down to these. You’ll:
- Manage large-scale complex projects
- You’ll be responsible for managing programmes of a significant size and complexity. You’ll draw on your experience of managing large scale projects and knowledge of evaluations to overcome unexpected challenges. You’ll balance logic and intuition to guide partners and colleagues through the inevitable undulations of complex projects and feel comfortable making decisions when there’s too much or too little information. You’ll ensure projects maintain a strong alignment to the original aims and objectives of the funding round.
- Provide leadership to the Programmes Team and strategic advice to the Assistant Director of Impact, Programmes and Partnerships. Along with other Programme and Impact leads, you’ll deputise for the Assistant Director of Impact, Programmes and Partnerships. This means you’ll:
- Take responsibility for making key decisions in funding rounds and with specific programmes;
- Oversee a broad portfolio of projects and serve as a senior point of escalation when issues arise;
- Manage budgets, including approving payments and making judgements about the appropriateness of timeline and budget variation requests;
- Be responsible for knowing when to pull others into the decision.
- Lead strategic areas of work. You’ll develop and embed a clear strategy for distinctive areas of work that will enable us to achieve our mission. This includes:
- Finding new ways to improve our internal knowledge sharing and learning, contributing new ideas around how the Programmes team can play into emerging areas of work in the wider organisation.
- Supporting organisations to become evaluation ready, ensuring young people are the heart of our funding decisions and driving efficiencies so we can be the best we can be.
- Developing and leading the implementation of these strategies and ensure we are on track to achieve our aspirations.
- Developing and rolling out new processes designed to help us monitor progress in commissioning and high-quality grant management.
- Win people over externally
- You’ll meet people externally and share what we’re doing, why we care about it, being open and transparent about what we know and what we don’t know.
- You’ll share progress updates with key stakeholders, and you’ll represent YEF at external meetings, steering groups and committees.
- You’ll manage strategic relationships with co-funders, which may include partnerships with government departments.
- You’re likely to have frequent contact with civil servants, charity leaders and staff, academics and practitioners.
- Line management
- Your role may involve the line management of Programme Managers. This will include supporting and enhancing their overall professional growth, providing mentoring and coaching opportunities as appropriate and serving as a source of consultation and a point of escalation for your team members as they manage projects in their portfolio.
- Support delivery organisations to take part in robust evaluation
- You’ll make sure the team are excellent at supporting delivery organisations to engage with robust evaluation. You’ll help organisations identify the challenges and mitigations associated with embedding an evaluation approach in their project and delivery. This includes helping them understand the importance of having excellent monitoring and quality assurance systems and process and ensuring they are comfortable engaging in open and honest conversations with evaluators to ensure the project and evaluation are the very best they can be.

About Birthrights:
Birthrights was founded in 2013 with the understanding that at the heart of the poor experiences and outcomes of maternity care for so many people in the UK, is a consistent failure to listen to the voices of women and birthing people and a complete disregard for their fundamental human rights. We champion the rights of women and birthing people through information and support, training, campaigns, research and legal action. You can read our new 10-year strategic framework here Strategy - Birthrights.
