About us

The Race Equality Foundation is a registered charity which tackles racial inequality to improve the lives of Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic communities. We believe that everyone should be provided with the opportunities to flourish.

We do this by exploring what we know about discrimination and disadvantage, using that knowledge to develop interventions that will overcome barriers and promote equality, and disseminating this knowledge and good practice through training, conferences and written material.

The Foundation has delivered change through a range of ground-breaking projects. These include:

• the evidence-based Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities (SFSC) parenting programme;

• the pioneering research and policy projects which explore the lived experience of Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic people, from the lives of young people with a disability to older people living with dementia, to the impact of climate change; and

• partnerships with other voluntary and statutory organisations, as well as universities.

Parent Programme Officer (SFSC: Safer Lives - YEF project)

2 positions available - 1 x London (full time), and 1 x Greater Manchester (part time)

These roles will ensure the successful delivery of the SFSC: Safer Lives programme, as part of an efficacy study led by Sajid Humayan of Greenwich University. This work is funded by Youth Endowment Fund (YEF).

SFSC: Safer Lives is an enhanced version of the evidence informed Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities Parent Programme.

The intervention is designed to support parents in families where a young person is involved in, or at risk of, offending or youth violence. It aims to reduce offending by strengthening family relationships, increasing parental confidence, and promoting young peoples' self-discipline, social competencies, and self-esteem.

The successful candidates will be responsible for recruitment, engagement and ongoing support for the parents and caregivers and their young people aged 11-18 in the SFSC: Safer Lives programme, as well as the collection of baseline data for the study from participants.
