About CoramBAAF and RJFN

CoramBAAF supports professionals in adoption, fostering and kinship care. Its Racial Justice Family Network brings together practitioners, researchers and people with lived experience to advance anti-racist practice across family justice in England and Wales.

Responsibilities

Coordinate the network’s workplan, working groups and projects, maintaining actions, timelines and meeting papers.

Develop newsletters, website and social content; organise accessible meetings, webinars, workshops and training with speakers, invitations, logistics and evaluation.

Build relationships with members and partners, answer enquiries and maintain accurate membership records.

Support grant-funded delivery, policy consultations, resources and impact reporting by gathering participation, feedback and outcomes.

Requirements

Bring experience coordinating projects, networks, partnerships or comparable activities, taking work from planning to delivery. Strong organisation, sensitive communication, relationship-building and independent working are essential, alongside confidence with digital tools, communications and events.

You must demonstrate commitment to racial justice and anti-racist practice, inclusive engagement and meaningful participation by people with professional and lived expertise. No specific qualification is required: experience may come from employment, volunteering, community involvement or lived experience.

Knowledge of children’s social care, family justice, children’s rights or racial justice is desirable, as is experience supporting policy, research, consultation, training or influencing work. The role calls for empathy, discretion, initiative and a willingness to learn.

14 hours per week with flexibility across the working week. Home-based, with occasional travel to Coram Campus in London and other meetings or events. One-year fixed-term contract, with possible extension. Actual salary: £12,800 annually (£32,000 FTE).
