Deadline: midnight on Sunday 13th November 2011

Project Developers will join a small team running an innovation project working with the public and local partners to tackle a social issue and develop a new service. Upcoming work includes developing and launching a new kind of employability service, and designing a new service to support people to prevent and live well with chronic health conditions.

Depending on your background and skills, the role will involve some of the following activities:
· Engaging - Identifying and building relationships with people in local communities
· Gathering insights – spending time in people’s lives, finding out what their needs and aspirations are, and spotting opportunities for innovation
· Co-designing new solutions – working with the public and professionals to shape new kinds of services, interactions, activities and communications
· Prototyping – setting up a ‘mock’ service, creating everything needed for it to feel real, engaging people in testing it out over a number of weeks
· Producing – creating and organising events, activities, workshops and communications to engage people, preparing materials for workshops
· Researching – carrying out desk research, tapping into what’s happening out there, sourcing innovations, analysing, synthesizing, mapping information
· Playing a role in a new service – either as part of a prototype stage, or once it is initially launched – to make things happen and test things out
· Communicating – documenting and communicating issues, ideas and the story of the project as it develops, through photographs, film, and written material
· Coordinating – resourcing the project, tracking spend, scheduling people and preparing meetings and documents

We’re interested in meeting people from a range of backgrounds. Qualifications and experience matter less to us than the qualities we think make a Participle. We expect you to come with an open mind and an open heart and be up for learning as you go. We'll be putting together complementary teams, so if all or at least two of the following descriptions sound like you, we want to meet you!

Connector
You can… go to a new place, find and engage very different kinds of people in conversations and activities, build relationships, bring back your learning to the team, present your observations and insights clearly.

Designer
You can… research a situation, generate ideas based on real insight, communicate them clearly, turn them into something tangible, get people to try them out, learn from feedback, solve the detail, make them work and know why they work.

Producer
You can… get an event off the ground in an afternoon, source props, experts, materials and anything else needed, arrange people, places, transport and food, stay calm and bring a bit of magic to it.
 
We're also looking for a Senior Project Developer:

Deadline: midnight on Sunday 13th November 2011

The Senior Project Developer will join the core of a multidisciplinary project team, working with the Project Lead and Senior Strategist. Your role will be to design, develop and begin to implement the core service propositions, overseeing prototyping and user experience, designing interfaces with existing systems and working with a wide range of project collaborators to shape the business model, required system change and route to scale. Our projects result in live enterprises, so a key part of this role will be to seamlessly join a rapid prototyping approach to initial innovation with a ‘lean startup’ approach to development, launch and scale.

The role will involve the following activities:

  • Planning and leading user research activities;
  • Rapid development of social and commercial service propositions;
  • Designing and facilitating co-design sessions with participants and professionals;
  • Synthesising findings and developing strategic direction;
  • Leading prototyping activities with tight iteration cycles following a ‘lean start-up’ ethos, managing feedback and fast redesigns;
  • Framing and gathering qualitative evidence of impact from prototyping activities and presenting this in a robust way;
  • Creating service blueprints and contributing to business model development;
  • Managing and training a wide range of people and specialists in prototyping skills;
  • Actively working with and facilitating participant’s own behaviour change in order to shape service components, e.g. coaching them, carrying out activities with them, staging interactions;
  • Overseeing the development of technical platforms, apps and touchpoints to support the proposed services;
  • Translating insights into policy and commercial direction, and designing for wider system change;
  • Planning and facilitating workshops to engage senior partners and stakeholders in developing business and commissioning strategies;
  • Designing the interface between the new service and existing systems, developing strategies for implementation and scale;
  • Contributing to new measurement frameworks and translating indicators into metrics and tools that are meaningful to people themselves;
  • Directing the production of communication materials;
  • Preparing, writing and designing project reports and presentations;
  • Preparing tools, activities and infrastructure required for launch and initial implementation.

We'll be putting together complementary teams, so if all or at least two of the following descriptions sound like you, we want to meet you!

Connector/Empath/Facilitator
You can… gain a deep level of insight into what people’s underlying needs and motivations are, and into what does and doesn’t support behaviour change. You can translate these insights into actionable opportunities. You’re focused on what works for people throughout, and those principles and interactions that make a good user experience.

Systems thinker/Service innovator
You can… marry user experience and behaviour change strategies with commercial viability and policy thinking to create propositions that create social impact. You can propose alternatives to incumbent systems and make them tangible to people and senior professionals. You can design the services, systems, tools, infrastructure and frameworks that will support these changes to happen.

Entrepreneur/Producer/Prototyper
You can… keep a rapid prototyping ethos going throughout a project, and stay close to market and business realities.
 
Hi fractionMan,

Thanks for asking. We're a not-for-profit based near London Bridge and we work with the public to create new kinds of solutions to social issues that are self-sustaining (i.e. the new services we make have their own business models built into them). In terms on funding, we work in partnership with local government and local agencies/partners but we are independent. For a bit more information on projects we've worked on in the past, click here.
