We produce highly regarded research and publications that inform and inspire practitioners worldwide and we convene technical interest groups and communities of practice who are the 'go to' networks for their specialisms. Our partners know and trust ENN for quality, rigour and impartiality. Our work makes a real difference in the lives of children in some of the most difficult parts of the world. The ENN-led Operational Guidance on Infant Feeding in Emergencies has become the key global policy guidance and has been endorsed by the World Health Assembly, and our technical leadership and convening has facilitated real change in awareness and a new narrative, challenging siloed approaches to Wasting and Stunting management. Our work has never been more important. Nutritional challenges are growing across the world; undernutrition rates may be slowly decreasing but other forms of malnutrition are on the rise. The positive progress that is being made is unequal and many countries are now facing the double burden of both under and over nutrition. Crises around the world are increasingly protracted and the historical and artificial silos of 'humanitarian' and 'development' don't reflect real needs which are much more fluid. Emerging threats, such as the broader impact on nutrition of the COVID-19 pandemic bring new challenges to address. At present our annual turnover is around £1.5m, we employ 20+ staff and engage up to a dozen consultants. With our 2024-28 strategy, we are keen to drive even greater impact by exploring new and innovative approaches and increasing our reach further still. We do so with funding in place from a range of institutional partners and private foundations. We hope the enclosed information helps you to explore ENN and the role. With best wishes, The ENN Board of Trustees Vision Our vision is: 'Every individual confronted by malnutrition has access to the knowledge, tools, services and resources they require to meet their needs' Our History Founded in 1996 in Ireland, ENN has a long and rich history in global nutrition. Following an evaluation of the Great Lakes Emergency in 1995, implementing agencies identified an urgent need to establish a vehicle for capturing programming experiences and preserving institutional memory in the emergency food and nutrition sector. This gave rise to ENN's publication, Field Exchange, which was first produced in 1996, designed to stimulate critical thinking and learning, influence research agendas and cross-fertilise information and exchange. ENN was generously hosted by Trinity College Dublin for its first eight years . click apply for full job details

The work of the Social Justice Officer will be shaped by the Church of England's Five Marks of Mission - proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom through presence and relationship; responding to human need by loving service; seeking to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation; nurturing new believers; and safeguarding the integrity of creation - understood not as abstract principles, but as lived, local commitments.

The postholder will represent the Diocese at the local and regional level as needed.

Resources and comms to encourage, inspire and support social justice in our parishes. Year 3 - continue to focus on the 3 priority areas and review change and learning since the start of the work. We recognise that social justice is a huge topic area and will welcome the post holder working collaboratively to identify some areas of focus for the next few years of the strategy, to the end of 2031. This is a post which is funded by a grant from the National Church, currently up to the end of 2028. There will be further opportunity for us to review and extend the role if further funding is available, with the current expectation that this could be until 2031.
