Data and Social Impact Officer - Liverpool, United Kingdom - Kindred LCR CIC

Description

We are looking for a Data and Social Impact Officer to support Kindred LCR CIC to grow the social impact of socially-trading organisations (STOs) within the social economy of Liverpool City Region (LCR).

STOs are businesses that deliver social benefits AND trade commercially, with social purpose at their heart.

Kindred is now looking for a Data and Social Impact Officer to support STOs to understand and evidence their impact and collect costed impact indicators from STO's on behalf of Kindred.

The role will involve the collection, organisation, management, and analysis of quantitative data and work with other team members to collect and analyse qualitative data.

We are looking for someone who has a passion for data and how it can help us improve our support to STOs and in turn support them to grow their social impact.

The idea for Kindred took shape in 2019 and was fast-tracked at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic to support LCR's STOs.

As a result, we have engaged more than 800 STOs and social entrepreneurs and have currently committed £2 Million social investments into STOs across LCR.

We aim to invest £1 million per year into LCR's social economy. Kindred was built on strong foundations of governance, led by a dynamic Board of Directors and an Independent Chair. Kindred is community-led, and everything we do is co-created by the STOs we work for and with.


Kindred's values are:

• Social impact
• Collectivism
• Cocreation and collaboration

Our priorities are:

• To provide a combination of financial and nonfinancial support to STOs to enable their growth and greater social and economic impact in LCR.
• To actively engage local individuals and communities who have ideas to generate community wealth. Some of these may not yet have established an STO and may not consider themselves to be entrepreneurs particularly in deprived areas.
• To support meanwhile uses and the longterm transfer of assets to STOs, which can kickstart regeneration, contributing to placemaking as part of LCR's spatial strategy.
