• Writing concise and compelling briefing documents.

The main function of this role will be:

1. Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.
2. Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.
3. Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.
4. Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.

Job Description

1. Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.

The Lullaby Trust’s guidance is constantly evolving as new evidence emerges on preventing unexpected infant deaths. However, much of our guidance, such as our Back to Sleep messaging, is based on an established and agreed body of evidence. The post holder will be required to undertake a narrative systematic review of the literature to create an updated Evidence Base for each aspect of The Lullaby Trust’s guidance, referencing established research and any relevant updated evidence. Ideally, papers would need to be readily available via open access to assist The Lullaby Trust staff with supporting research enquiries. It is important to note that whilst some of our guidance is based on direct evidence, some is indirect i.e. advising against using certain products due to association with other evidence-based guidance; therefore, the post holder should have a sound understanding of SIDS and unexpected infant death research to be able to demonstrate this link concisely.

Current topics covered by our guidance and evidence include:

Sleeping position

Clear cot

Room temperature

Bedding

Twins and multiples

Smoking

Alcohol and drug use

Breastfeeding

Airways

Co-sleeping/bedsharing

Products; slings, dummies, baby monitors

Car seats

Infection and immunisations

Premature babies

Poor antenatal care

Swaddling

Young parents

Normal baby sleep

Impact of deprivation

2. Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.

The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base is an extensive document. This project aims to make the Evidence Base more accessible and easier to update. We envisage that each topic currently covered in the Evidence Base will have a fully referenced version and a plain language version to enable them to be understood and used by a variety of service users, including health professionals and parents or carers. On completion, the Evidence Base and its derivatives will remain the sole property of The Lullaby Trust, however the post holder will be credited and there is scope for the post holder to publish an academic paper based on the project.

3. Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.

The post holder will need to support in the design of easily accessible PDF versions of the Evidence Base, including any relevant infographics and links to referenced research. Each document will need to align with the guidance available to service users via our website and in other published resources. It may be possible that the review provides insights into potential changes to the current guidance available and, where this is indicated, the post holder will work with our Scientific Advisory Group to provide the evidence for those discussions.

4. Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.

As a dynamic organisation that adapts our guidance to the most up-to-date research. Our current process involves our Scientific Advisory Group assessing new research and, if appropriate, amending our guidance or adding research to an established research library. However, the format of the current Evidence Base document creates a challenge in adding new references and evidence. The revised Evidence Base documents created by this project will need to be easily edited and updated. The post holder will be required to develop a standard operating procedure for updating the documents as part of our current Scientific Advisory Group processes.

Person Specification

Essential:

A good understanding of the research around SIDS and unexpected infant death.

Experience of literature reviews, systematic reviews, critical appraisal, and evidence synthesis.

Good written skills, including the ability to write in an accessible way.

Attachment to a Further Education Institution.

Access to own laptop/computer and necessary software.

Please submit a CV as well as a covering letter that outlines your proposed methodology, including key milestones and timescales for each aspect of the project.

References may be requested from successful applicants.

The International department is responsible for implementing the charity’s strategy in developing countries and aims to improve the welfare of as many working equids as possible.

We are seeking a project manager to join our International team to manage funds, budgets and accounts and become familiar with the working of local administration and legal requirements relating to partner organisations.  This is not a role that is hands-on with Equids, you will be working with people who rely on them for their livelihoods in the community-based projects that underpin the charity’s presence in lower middle-income countries.

If you are a qualified Veterinarian this would be advantageous but not essential, as the focus of this role is Veterinary and Equid Welfare; ensuring that all practices by anyone associated with the programme are of an acceptable quality in terms of welfare and accepted professional  veterinary standards.  Working with Veterinary specialists you will co-ordinate all veterinary perspective discussions on interventions to address equine welfare across the programme. You will stay informed on current practices, related to Welfare and Veterinary intervention in terms of other organisations and institutions (including other welfare NGOs, Governments, or institutions such as WOAH) and represent World Horse Welfare in meetings, conferences, seminars and consultations concerning equine welfare.

Although UK based you will be required to travel internationally at least four times per year. This role is suitable for remote working, however, there is an expectation for attendance at our head office in Norfolk throughout the year and this will be at your own expense for travel and accommodation.

We offer a generous pension scheme, cash health plan, death in service benefit as well as the bike to work scheme.  Employee sickness pay scheme and a minimum of 31 days holiday including bank/ public holidays and a mandatory shutdown between Christmas and New Year.

World Horse Welfare’s values are grounded in pragmatism and compassion as we strive to support and strengthen the horse-human partnership in all its guises through a combination of care, research, education and influence. The charity promotes and protects welfare across the full spectrum of the equine world including horses in need, sport and leisure horses, and horses used in work and production in marginalised communities worldwide. 

World Horse Welfare is committed to championing equality and diversity in all aspects of employment and in the services that it provides. We encourage applications from under-represented groups, particularly ethnically diverse communities, LGBTQ+ and disabled people.

EASST is dedicated to making a difference in the field of road safety and sustainable mobility. Our mission is to save lives and prevent injuries by making road travel safer, greener and more sustainable for future generations. We work to support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through innovative international projects that aim to improve road safety standards, promote sustainable transport solutions, and create more inclusive communities through better mobility. Through a vibrant network of local road safety NGOs, we concentrate our efforts in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, where road deaths are particularly high and vehicle fleets are growing.

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Project Coordinator to join our dynamic team. This junior position is ideal for a recent university graduate or early career professional looking to work in the charity sector while contributing to meaningful work in road safety, transport, and sustainable development.

You should be comfortable communicating and collaborating with team members online, managing your time effectively, and embracing the independence that remote work offers.

The role will require you to be UK-based. It will require occasional travel to London / Kent.  This is likely to be more frequent in the initial stages of the role.

• Providing administrative support for event planning and coordination.
• Support the creation of content for social media, newsletters, and other communication materials according to EASST’s Communications Strategy.
• Collect, organise, and analyse project data to support decision-making and reporting.
• Support engagement with international partners, donors, and beneficiaries, fostering strong and collaborative relationships.

Candidate Specification

• A university degree, preferably in a related field (e.g., transport, public health, communications, social sciences, international relations, geography, or environmental studies).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to create clear, concise, and engaging content.
• Strong organisational and time-management skills, with attention to detail.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office, as a minimum. Familiarity with social media content creation, video editing or web content management systems would be an advantage.

• An interest in international development, road safety or sustainability with a desire to contribute to meaningful change.
• Sensitivity to work effectively with diverse countries and cultures and a willingness to learn about the geographical regional dynamics.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment and independently when required.

What We Offer

• An opportunity to work on impactful projects in an inclusive environment.
• A chance to make a tangible difference in road safety, sustainable development, and transport initiatives.
• The chance to work with a small, motivated, and experienced team that will support your development and provide opportunities to grow your skills and career.
• Flexible remote working and good holiday and pension allowances.
