Who we are: Brake has been supporting victims of road carnage since 1995, and we're on a mission to prevent future collisions. Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads, impacting lives profoundly.

Specifically seeking candidates with:

We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We are proud to be a disability confident employer.

So, if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you.

This post is focused on engaging our communities in environmental and heritage activities with the wider aim of creating a sense of involvement in and ownership of the development of Kindling Farm. This will involve a wide range of activities, events and volunteering opportunities.

We particularly want to engage communities currently underserved by heritage and environmental projects and this project will involve piloting activities targeting specific groups. This is both to engage them from the start of Kindling Farm and to work with them to identify challenges to engagement and solutions to those challenges to ensure that our future activities and work is accessible to a wide range of people and communities.

This role will be supported by the Project Manager.

The team and role overview 

Reporting lines: Main point of contact will be the Chair of Board when agreeing Board minutes/other tasks but will regularly liaise directly with Ben Simms (CEO) and/or Saf Rahbour (COO) when agreeing Board minutes/other tasks.

2-4 consulting days per month, within the period of April 2025 to March 2026 taking into account the Consultant’s prior commitments. Please note there will be a degree of flexibility within this, with some weeks requiring more capacity, others much less. The timing of deliverables will always be agreed in advance with the Consultant. 

The contract is for 36 days maximum over a 12-month period. The Consultant will receive a daily rate (£250-£350) dependent upon experience and qualifications. The consultant will invoice GHP on a monthly basis. Please note that this is non-negotiable and will cover all expenses apart from project-related travel and communication expenses. Where reasonable travel and communications expenses are incurred, the Consultant will be remunerated following the submission of timely and accurate receipts. 

Receipts must be kept, where possible, in order to claim for support costs. Consultants will not be expected to use their own funds to cover project-related costs.

Invoices must be submitted monthly in £ GBP and the HRMC exchange rate used to calculate any support costs expenses. The monthly exchange rate to be used should match the month the costs were made (and the month should match the receipt).
