JOB PURPOSE 

The Anticipatory Action Advisor role is responsible for the design, set up, and implementation of project activities under Start Network’s forthcoming ‘Anticipatory Action for human-induced crises’ project. This project will build on Start Network’s history of innovation within the Anticipatory Action space and learning from numerous examples of Start Network’s membership delivering anticipatory action for human-induced hazards through the Start Fund, with a particular focus on anticipatory action for conflict. The project aims to develop and deliver new methodologies and approaches to anticipatory action for conflict and other human-induced crises during a three-year grant, with the opportunity for multiple country level initiatives. The Advisor will lead the project activities under the technical guidance of the Senior Anticipatory Action Advisor, in collaboration with the Technical Partnerships Advisor, and under the overall strategic oversight of the Head of Crisis Anticipation and Risk Financing.

This Engagement Lead role will sit within our Capacity Building and Standards (CB&S) function. The CB&S function aims to build the capacity of organisations and institutions to embed the processes, skills, structures and cultures needed for effective public engagement in decision making. This includes work in the public, private and third sectors. 

You will be a proven project leader looking to make your next move and develop your leadership and profile in this interesting and important area of public participation and deliberation. You will enjoy supporting others to develop and embed public participation in decision making, drawing on your own significant experience, for example in delivering deliberative and participatory programmes or designing and running training . You will need to be able to advocate well for the benefits of public engagement in decision making.

You will have an appetite to learn, with strong budget and project management skills. You will have the ability to build and maintain good relationships with a wide variety of people, including senior actors and decision makers in institutions, project partners, internal staff and people in our wider networks. You will be a strategic thinker, and you will be able to develop new areas of work, ideas and fundable projects that will help the CB&S function to deliver its strategic aims. 

The first major project that will play a significant part of your role will be the School for Everyday Democracy - a major project funded by the National Lottery UK Fund. The programme builds the power of people from all walks of life to come together to deliver common good in their communities, and across the country. We want to give participants the power, confidence, connections, skills and opportunities required to affect the things that matter most to them through participation, deliberation, community organising and collective care. You will be the programme and pedagogical lead - directing the strategy of the project, developing and delivering training content, managing governance, budgets and risk, and managing the wider programme team. 

This role will have a thematic focus on public engagement in decision-making on climate change and nature. Involve has a commitment to use our skills, time and experience to address big challenges. Climate change is one of those big challenges and is a policy area where citizen engagement on both principles and practice is vital.  It, and Net Zero in particular, risk becoming a polarised and politicised issue where there is little room for considered, inclusive decision making. We want Involve’s approach to offer a way through difficult issues like low emission zones and other challenges in a way that centres social justice and equity. 

We have a significant track record in public deliberation on climate change. We ran the first Climate Assembly in the UK and have since delivered a number of projects in this area including the People’s Plan for Nature. We have developed a reputation for best practice public dialogue, deliberation and capacity building. We want to grasp the opportunity for deliberative practices to make a real contribution to the change needed to respond to the climate crisis. 

This role will primarily sit within our Innovation and Practice (I&P) function but will work closely with our Capacity Building and Standards (CB&S) and Advocacy and Communications (A&C) functions. 

The I&P function is responsible for the deliberative, dialogic and participatory projects and processes that we run. The CB&S function aims to build capacity both inside and outside of public institutions to embed the processes, skills, structures and cultures needed for effective public participation in decision-making. The A&C function aims to build political and public understanding of and support for making participation and deliberation an everyday, integral part of our democracy. 

The Climate Engagement Lead will play a central role in taking Involve’s work on climate, environment and the just transition forward. It will mean a collaborative approach -  co-creating and coordinating our strategy on public engagement through a cross functional work group. 

The job will also involve leading several of our major climate change and nature projects, including the UKRI Thriving Places project; maintaining and growing our reputation in climate and environment networks; and communicating the contribution we can make and impact that we are having. Importantly, this role will work closely with others also working on these areas of work.

About Prostate Cancer Research 

Prostate Cancer Research (PCR) is a research and information provision charity that is dedicated to improving and saving the lives of people with prostate cancer. Patients are central to everything we do and drive our work. Our work covers four key areas:

• Academic and social research – We fund novel and innovative research projects at world-leading institutions that are working towards breakthroughs in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of advanced prostate cancer, and better quality of life outcomes for patients. We ensure that our research is targeted to address patient need and research gaps to maximise our impact and reach better treatments for patients sooner.

• Translational research – We set up Proven Connect, the translational research arm of PCR, to focus on ensuring more promising treatments get from lab to patient through bridging the gap between industry, investors, health providers and patients.

• Patient information and empowerment – We acknowledge that research alone is not enough to achieve our vision. We involve, educate, and empower people affected by prostate cancer to enable them to play a more active role in driving forward changes in research, treatment and care.

• Influencing – We seek to ensure greater equity of treatment and parity of care, and are working towards a world where no man is left behind, where prostate cancer is caught early and can be cured. 

Our vision for the future is clear: to be an integral part of creating one of the healthiest ecosystems for any disease type. An ecosystem that is connected, collaborative, equitable, and effective. Over the next 3 years we are setting ambitious targets to double our research funding, accelerate twelve biotech ventures, engage at least 100,000 people in influencing change, initiate three novel projects to enhance equity, and grow our income to more than £7 million.
