Support people. Strengthen communities. Help prevent suicide.

Every week, someone reaches out to Hector's House because they are experiencing emotional distress, worried about someone they love, or trying to make sense of a suicide loss.

The response they receive can make all the difference.

We are looking for a compassionate, organised and proactive Support Coordinator to join our small but ambitious team and help us reach more people across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

This is a role where your work will have a direct and visible impact. You might be supporting someone experiencing emotional distress, helping coordinate a support group, assisting people to access the right help, or contributing to community activities that increase awareness and understanding of suicide prevention.

About Hector's House

Hector's House was founded in 2016 by the family and friends of Hector Stringer, who died by suicide aged 18.

Today, we are a trusted local charity dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting people affected by suicide across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire

Everything we do is rooted in our local communities. We are supported by local people, businesses, schools, community groups and volunteers who share our belief that suicide is preventable and that nobody should face difficult times alone.

Last year we reached more than 2,500 people through our awareness, education and support services.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple message: there is hope.

The Role

Working closely with our Support Lead, you will play a central role in delivering support to people experiencing emotional distress, those at risk of suicide, and people affected by suicide.

You will help coordinate and deliver one-to-one and group support, respond to enquiries, maintain accurate records, liaise with partner organisations, and contribute to the continued development of our services.

As a new role within the charity, this is an opportunity to help shape how support is delivered in the future.

About Working Here

We're a small team by design, which means everyone has a voice and everyone contributes. We work collaboratively, support one another and share a commitment to making the greatest possible difference for the people and communities we serve.

• Is organised and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Can work independently while also being part of a close-knit team.
• Shares our values and commitment to supporting local communities.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to:

• Make a genuine difference to people's lives every day.
• Join a respected and growing local charity.
• Work in a supportive, passionate and ambitious team.
• Help shape and develop a growing service.

About us

Carers UK’s vision is to create a society that recognises, values and supports carers. As the leading national charity for unpaid carers, we exist to make life better for carers, however caring affects them. Our support, advice, information and campaigning work are now needed more than ever, as unpaid carers are providing more and more care, adversely impacting on their own health and wellbeing.

About the role

We recognise the value of social media in communicating with all our audiences; whether unpaid carers or their friends and families, employers, politicians, service providers, supporters and all those people who may become a carer for a partner, family member, friend or neighbour and will need information, support, and to know that there are people working to make their lives better.

This role works with colleagues across the organisation - but also in partnership with external organisations and agencies, with targets set for engagement (and other indicators of the success of our campaigns). We're working on multiple campaigns simultaneously; whether that's Carers Week, campaigns to influence changes to the law to better support carers, encouraging unpaid carers to join us as members, updating on activities in the devolved nations or getting people to fundraise for Carers UK. And we use a mix of owned, earned and paid communications to drive engagement in a challenging and crowded environment in order to get our messages to cut through. It's a busy, but varied role, in a supportive and collaborative team.

About you

Working within the communications and marketing team, you'll be confident in managing our social media accounts (we have many), ensuring we're using platforms to get our messages out to both wide and targeted audiences with engaging and timely content.

You'll be happy using tools for social listening, interacting with our audiences and building our reach. You'll be familiar with key metrics for social engagement and will be reporting back to colleagues and other stakeholders - and using this data to constantly improve our communications.

You'll be skilled in writing longer form content for our members' magazine, Caring, proof reading articles, posting content on our websites, creating graphics and making sure our content is engaging, audience focused and dynamic. Oh, and you probably know your way around an emoji set and are not scared of a well timed pun. We're a small but effective communications team and pride ourselves on getting stuck in and supporting each other when we need to deliver big on fast moving projects, so you'll need be able to juggle lots of demands while recognising the importance of always hitting deadlines.

Diversity and inclusion

Carers UK is committed to becoming a diverse and truly inclusive organisation; fostering an environment and working culture that celebrates and promotes diversity and inclusion.  We strive to create a workplace where our colleagues and volunteers can truly be themselves and feel like they belong and constantly seek to ensure all voices are heard.

To embrace this culture of diversity, our employee and volunteer recruitment should reflect our stakeholders and the society that we serve and support, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, disabilities or religious practices. We value individual diversity and are actively building diverse teams here at Carers UK and value our colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.

As a membership charity for carers, we particularly seek employees and volunteers with a real understanding of the issues faced by carers. Reasonable adjustments can be made to the process and role, dependent on the needs of the applicant.

We are proud to be an Employers for Carers member. We have signed the Menopause Workplace Pledge and achieved the Disability Confident Employer accreditation.
