About the organisation

Triangle is a values-based Social Enterprise with a vision of a society in which people are enabled to thrive. We help homelessness, health, and social care providers improve services by creating engaging visual tools and promoting collaborative ways of working.

It is also being used internationally, with a particularly strong presence in Australia.

Outcomes of the Role

• Be responsible for building the initial relationships with the right people in the organisations who contact us.
• Understand how clients work, the service they offer, and the people they support.
• If the Outcomes Star model is right for them, understand what their outcome measurement needs are, and help them to think about where their service users already are in relation to the journey of change.
• Identify with the client the best way of measuring and evidencing the change that they want to show, including providing demonstrations and advice about the Star Online.
• Identify and advise of the best version(s) of the Star for their service, and if the Star is not the right tool, be clear as to the reasons why.
• Support the client to think about how the managers will promote the implementation of the Star and support their workers to engage with the tool by creating an implementation plan.
• Think creatively for clients who do not fit the standard pathway, working flexibly with colleagues to find options that work, and to be as responsive as possible whilst always remaining client centred.
• Ensure all clients receive appropriate and timely support, working with the Client Services Manager and delegating as appropriate to colleagues in other teams.
• Liaise with other Client Services and Training team members about the organisation of training and licensing, and offer support if required to the Client Services Co-ordinator with regards to training courses.

In addition to this the Client Services Advisor will:

• Use our Client Relationship Management (CRM) system (Salesforce) to produce and send out quotes and to ensure we keep accurate records of clients, enquiries and support needs.
• Provide account maintenance to existing clients, including licence adjustment, discussing new Stars, additional training, liaising with the Finance Team around invoicing and updating any changes to key contacts.
• Use Salesforce proactively to identify ways of following up with those clients who have not responded after the initial discussions have taken place, with a view to increasing uptake of the Star.
• Retrieve information to work with other colleagues to improve the service we offer for our clients.

Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about enabling patients and carers to drive change? We are looking for an exceptional candidate to develop and deliver our Peer Support & Advisory Service, so that many more people find the reassurance, advice and information which helps them to manage the challenges that life with PF brings.

In the UK, 70,000 people live with pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive life-changing condition which limits a person’s breathing, mobility and daily life. There is no known cure and little support for families who can feel very alone and anxious. We are determined to change that, by funding research to find a cure, campaigning for access to treatments, and providing information and peer support so that no-one has to face PF alone.

Building on the success of our support line and telephone befriender pilot scheme, our new our service will develop a network of volunteers, including telephone befrienders and first responders and research champions.

Are you the person that can help us develop and deliver this service? You are likely to be a relevant health professional and/or have significant experience of running and promoting a helpline, volunteer programme or similar service in a health or charity context. If that sounds like you we would love to hear from you. 

Once the pandemic restrictions are lifted, travel across the UK will be a feature of the role, so you’ll need to be comfortable working both digitally and in person, building relationships with existing volunteers and developing new ones.

Location will be home-based and flexible, but you will need good accessibility by road and rail to travel throughout your region to meet with volunteers, support groups and health teams.  Regular travel to the Peterborough office will also be required.

• We would be grateful if you disclosed your current salary details, but this is at your discretion.
