Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
The main function of this role will be:
- Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.
- Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.
- Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.
- Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.
Job Description
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Project Coordinator to join our dynamic team.

- Prepare and contribute to project reports, summaries, and updates for internal and external stakeholders.
- 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.
- Experience organising events or project coordination would be desirable.
- 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.

Borders Forest Trust (BFT) is investing in their first dedicated, in house fundraising post to provide strategic oversight and expertise to all the charity’s fundraising activity.
BFT was established in 1996 to restore the ecological health of the various habitats of the South of Scotland, an area with the lowest percentage of native woodlands in mainland Scotland. Since 1996, BFT has been planting new native woodland, restoring peatland and improving many other natural habitats, enriching the biological diversity of around 31 square km across the Southern Uplands and the wider region.
They demonstrate landscape scale ecological restoration in action, and inspire landowners, statutory bodies, local communities and policy makers to embrace more sustainable models for land use and conservation practice.
Fundraising to date at BFT has seen much success, but it has been responsive and ad-hoc as opposed to planned according to strategic need. To achieve Borders Forest Trust’s vision, and to provide sustainable long-term income, they are investing in a dedicated Development Manager.
The Development Manager will join BFT at an exciting stage, the entire organisation is behind this position and understands the need for it. They are looking for a fundraiser who will thrive on the challenge of designing and implementing their own fundraising strategy and who can provide the expertise needed to build income across all areas.
The Board of Trustees have highlighted corporate partnerships and philanthropy as areas of great potential, so experience across one or both areas will be valuable for the successful candidate to evidence.
There is so much potential for this post holder to deliver fundraising success.
Please download the Candidate Pack for information on how to apply. All interested candidates will have an informal screening call with THINK Recruitment before progressing to submit an application. Please ensure you apply with enough time to have a call before the closing date.
