Full job description

To lead and manage the DadVocates project, a four-year National Lottery-funded programme training volunteer young dads as peer advocates for young fathers in children’s social care proceedings; delivering professional training to social workers; and working towards the embedding of father-inclusive practice across children’s social care teams in five local authorities.

Key responsibilities

1. Project management

Take day-to-day responsibility for the management and delivery of the DadVocates project across all strands of activity
Manage the project budget, monitor expenditure and liaise with the CEO and Finance Officer
Update and maintain NEYDL’s Evaluation Framework with DadVocates-specific indicators and methodologies within the first two months of the project start date
Ensure the project meets its funder milestones and KPIs, maintaining accurate records of outputs and outcomes
Produce quarterly progress reports for internal review and contribute to annual funder reports
Commission and manage the external evaluator for the four-year evaluation
Identify and escalate risks and challenges to the CEO, recommending solutions

2. Steering Committee

Chair and manage the project Steering Committee, which meets every two months and comprises young dads, NEYDL frontline staff, the safeguarding lead, social work professionals and academic partners
Induct Steering Committee members, including young dads, into their roles, providing tailored support to ensure they can contribute confidently alongside professionals
Use Steering Committee meetings to review progress, identify challenges and agree recommendations for the next period of delivery

3. Co-creating the DadVocate training programme

Work with training and research providers, young dads and Steering Committee members to co-create a 100-hour peer advocacy training programme for volunteer DadVocates
Deliver the DadVocate training programme alongside NEYDL staff and delivery partners
Lead annual reviews of the training programme and update content in response to learning and feedback

4. Managing and supporting volunteer DadVocates

Recruit and train 10 young dad volunteers per year (40 over four years), all with lived experience of young fatherhood
Provide ongoing mentoring, supervision and wellbeing support to all active DadVocate volunteers: at least 50 hours per volunteer per year
Set clear objectives for each volunteer, conduct regular appraisals and team meetings, and support their professional development and progression
Recognise that DadVocates are young dads with lived experience rather than professional backgrounds, and provide the high level of structured support this requires, including supporting them to navigate professional environments with confidence
Support the progression of volunteers into employment, further training and community leadership roles

5. Matching DadVocates with young dads in CSC proceedings

Build and maintain referral pathways with social services, midwifery, Family Nurse Partnerships, Family Hubs and other local networks across target local authorities
Match 100 young dads over four years with a volunteer DadVocate (10 in year 1, rising to 40 in year 4)
Work closely with NEYDL’s Senior Young Dads Workers, who hold cases, to coordinate peer advocacy support within CSC proceedings
Maintain oversight of active advocacy arrangements, ensuring DadVocates are appropriately supported and that safeguarding obligations are met at all times
Engage directly with young dad beneficiaries through steering committee meetings, evaluation sessions and project learning events

6. Professional training for social workers

Co-create professional training content with social workers and young dads on the Steering Committee, drawing on national research and NEYDL’s practice experience
Deliver half-day induction training to 15-20 social workers per local authority at the outset of each area’s involvement, co-facilitated by young dads or DadVocate volunteers
Deliver annual refresher training in each local authority
Facilitate quarterly case review and learning meetings with social workers in each local authority, involving DadVocate volunteers
Co-design guidance on what father-inclusive practice looks like within children’s social care teams, with social workers and young dads (first version in year 2; updated version in year 4)
Organise and host two information-sharing events for social care professionals in years 2 and 4 (approximately 100 professionals per event)

7. Monitoring, evaluation and learning

Coordinate data collection with young dads, DadVocate volunteers and social workers using NEYDL’s evaluation tools and new instruments co-designed for this project
Produce annual evaluation reports and disseminate learning through NEYDL’s wider networks, events and conferences
Share learning through stakeholder events, professional networks and NEYDL’s regular sector-facing activity

8. Safeguarding

Ensure robust safeguarding arrangements are in place for all project activity, particularly for DadVocate volunteers operating within CSC proceedings
Work closely with NEYDL’s Safeguarding Lead to ensure policies and protocols relevant to the project are current, understood and followed by volunteers and partners
Act as first point of contact for safeguarding concerns arising within the DadVocates project

9. Collaboration and partnerships

Work closely with NEYDL’s Senior Young Dads Workers as case holders, ensuring a joined-up and consistent approach to supporting young dads involved in the project
Build and maintain relationships with academic, statutory and voluntary sector partners
Work with the Business Development Manager to help secure longer-term Local Authority funding for DadVocates, using evidence of impact from the project to support conversations with Local Authorities and expand the project’s reach beyond the areas and targets in the original funding bid
Represent NEYDL and the DadVocates project at external meetings, networks and conferences
Contribute to NEYDL’s wider communications and engagement activity

10. Other

Deputise for the CEO as required
Report to the Board of Trustees in person or in writing on a quarterly basis as required

11. Standard clauses

The post holder must carry out their responsibilities at all times with due regard to NEYDL’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion strategy, policy and statement, and Safeguarding Policy
The post holder is responsible for ensuring that policies and procedures relating to health and safety in the workplace are adhered to at all times
The post holder must respect the confidentiality of data stored electronically and by other means, in line with NEYDL’s Data Protection Policy
This role requires satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) clearance prior to appointment
This job description is not exhaustive. NEYDL reserves the right to reasonably add to or revise it at any time in agreement with the post holder.
