He was overworked, burned out and felt he had nowhere to turn. He believed taking his life was the only answer. Amandip established the charity so no other healthcare worker would have to experience the same pain as Jagdip.

The mental impact of the pandemic is still being felt by many, on a daily basis. Doctors in Distress is committed to reducing burnout and distress through support programmes and campaigns.

• Campaign Support: You will contribute to impactful campaigns, such as the National Memorial Tree Campaign.

The successful candidate will be proficient in CRM systems (Beacon or similar) and experienced in using Microsoft Office, including Teams, and with experience using Zoom. You will be proactive, self-motivated, and detail-oriented and capable of managing multiple priorities. The successful candidate will also be empathetic towards healthcare professionals' challenges.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work flexibly from home while being part of a dynamic team. You'll play a key role in operations, from supporting vital mental health programmes to contributing to impactful campaigns. You will enjoy the benefits of a hybrid work model, a supportive environment, and the chance to make a meaningful impact every day.

Our office is based in Stockwell. The Case worker will be required to travel to locations across London each week.

The work will include:

● Identifying those who can gain from our support, engaging them, assessing needs and risks

● Matching clients to volunteers, tracking progress

● Enabling peer support group(s) and their development

● Building and maintaining relationships with Prisons, Probation and other key stakeholders

The successful candidate will have:

● Experience of working with offenders and ex-offenders in prison or in the community

● Confidence in engaging one-to-one, communicating what’s on offer while making an informed assessment of suitability

● An understanding of the criminal justice system (or homelessness, addiction, mental health, community work etc) and the role of befriending / mentoring in enabling change for good

● Resilience to work effectively in a challenging environment: in prison and outside, with those who have left prison

● Empathy with Change for Good’s faith-based values and ethos

Those who have lived experience the criminal justice system are welcome to apply. The role will require full prison clearance.
