Dementia Advisers (DAs) support people with a diagnosis of dementia, their carers and families.  DAs take a holistic approach to support, encouraging person centred care and providing timely and accurate information and advice.  DAs signpost and refer to the right support at the right time across a wide range of services.  By enabling clients to access support that they and their family need we are able to help them live as well as possible for as long as possible in their own homes and remain active in the community.

DAs are primarily home-based, taking referrals within a geographical area and from GP surgeries.  They are largely self-managing, happy to work alone and able to use their initiative.  In particular, they need to be comfortable working with clients and carers face-to-face via video conferencing, telephone and also visiting clients in their own homes.  Each DA will manage their own caseload, working within the service framework and under the guidance of a Locality Manager and the Head of Service. DA’s will also need to support a ‘workstream’ to drive service development.

Delivery of the service is multi channel and includes face to face, telephone and webchat.

Delivery is restricted to telephone and webchat advice due to the pandemic. In addition to providing practical support, we are looking for an adviser with an excellent knowledge of the welfare benefits system. You will determine eligibility for Universal Credit, carry out benefit checks, and research and explore options and implications so that clients can make informed decisions prior to claiming any new benefit.

You’ll have the ability to interview clients using sensitive listening and questioning skills to get to the root of the issues, whilst maintaining structure and control of meetings. You will maintain detailed case records that meet quality standards and funder requirements. You will require good IT skills in order to support clients to complete new Universal Credit claims where appropriate. With a background in advice work, you will be able to assess client needs, identify related issues and offer support to access other services.

We also require that you have a commitment to the aims and principles of the Citizens Advice Service and that you ensure the work reflects and supports the Citizens Advice service's equality and diversity strategy.

You will work from home, Chapeltown Citizens Advice and outreach venues, contributing to both the Help to Claim service and our wider service ambitions.

Central London, like many cities across the world, is an exciting and stimulating place. However, for some, it is a place to go when things have gone profoundly wrong and there is nowhere else. When people are on the edge, homeless, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. The Connection is there to be with people as they overcome that isolation, recover and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

However, this is not enough. The experiences of people on the edge matter. Their story must be told to those in a position of power and influence, so that homelessness, exclusion and isolation are not acceptable features of life in the UK.

The Connection at St. Martin’s empowers those who are on the edges of society to take control of their lives by:

• Providing practical support in an active environment designed to help people to recognise their own strengths, recover from crisis and move on;

• Collaborating with others who share our vision and mission not just in London, but other parts of the UK and the world;

• Sharing our learning with others, to deepen our own understanding and create a more socially just society for those on the margins.

An exciting opportunity has become available to work as an Engagement Advisor (Emergency Accommodation) to deliver CSTM’s Emergency Accommodation service, at CSTM’s new 38 bed hotel in Westminster, The Bridge, to help clients to move off the streets quickly and into a long term, more sustainable accommodation option. 

This role requires someone with a strong track record in co-production and a strengths based approach to working with people who have multiple and complex needs. Engagement Advisors will provide a welcoming and engaging service within the Emergency Accommodation environment ensuring that service users are assessed (when required), have a safe and recovery orientated stay and are supported into move-on services. Engagement Advisors must be able to work in a busy service environment and be committed to playing a part in shaping and developing services to enable clients to move towards recovery.

So, are you interested in this rewarding role that comes with some really great benefits? To apply, please submit an application form highlighting that you meet the requirements of the role set out in the person specification attached. Only candidates that provide this, and who meet the essential criteria within the person specification, will be considered for an interview.

As our Senior Research Advisor for International Programmes you’ll help shape and lead the management of the Big Beat Challenge award(s), providing a key interface between the funded international team(s), the BHF and external partners to help ensure that they have the best chance of delivering their targeted transformative advances.

The Big Beat Challenge is the largest research award of its kind worldwide and is a challenge to scientists, clinicians, innovators and entrepreneurs to look beyond incremental gains and accelerate research breakthroughs that could transform lives across the globe.

While management of the Big Beat Challenge will be the immediate focus of this role, the BHF is involved in additional international research funding initiatives, including our joint-funding awards with the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) and the Dutch Heart Foundation. The BHF is also a lead partner in the Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum, which has a specific ambition to advance shared research priorities including co-funding of global clinical trials. You’ll have additional scientific and managerial responsibilities for these programmes as they develop.

About you

With a PhD in a biomedical science discipline, you’ll have an understanding of contemporary and emerging research approaches and methodologies in relevant fields as well as knowledge of the cardiovascular research landscape and associated opportunities and challenges.

You’ll have knowledge and understanding of the BHF, our mission and the importance of research to our mission and will have substantial research experience gained in academia and/or a similar industry

With previous experience in leading and managing a research programme, you’ll also have experience of initiating or participating in international research collaborations or partnerships.

You will serve as an ambassador for the BHF promoting its research achievements. You’ll be able to organise and prioritise a flexible workload whilst also managing multiple deadlines. You’ll also be a proactive member of the team possessing outstanding communication skills, able to deliver confident and articulate presentations to scientific and non-scientific audiences. In addition, you'll have excellent literacy, numeracy and database skills.

About us

We’re here to keep hearts beating and blood flowing. With research spanning all heart and circulatory diseases, we are out to beat the world’s biggest killers. From head to toe you have over 60,000 miles of blood vessels in your body so we have our work cut out.

About Global Witness

We are facing a crisis: the climate is being destroyed and civic freedoms are deteriorating. Rampant abuse of power is pushing the world to breaking point as governments and big corporations all too often go unchecked in their exploitation of our planet and its people. 

Global Witness can’t do this alone. It is only through working alongside activists, campaigners and other civil society groups that we can successfully take on some of the most powerful domestic and global actors propagating corruption, human rights abuses, and environmental devastation.

But, to succeed, we need to embody the principles we fight for.  We must continue to strive for cohesion, solidarity, and inclusion internally and across civil society.  To stay ahead of the curve, we must learn from allies and other social and political movements that share our mission.

Only together can we protect one another and the planet to build a better, more just future.

About the role

You will work in a team of four which consists of programmers and investigators to produce data-driven investigations highlighting environmental abuses and the financial and power structures that enable them.

The work is varied with lots of opportunities to develop new and build on your existing skills.  You will work collaboratively with all our campaign teams to develop investigative leads and gather evidence using a broad range of digital sources, including land records, satellite imagery and social media data.

A lot of your time will be spent undertaking open-source research briefs developed by campaign teams for specific investigations. This will involve searching public records, social media and the deep web for information. Sometimes you will need to request data directly from public bodies using freedom of information requests. 

You will also be responsible for helping your colleagues outside of the Data Investigations Team keep abreast of data journalism and OSINT skills that help to enhance their research. You’ll run regular training sessions on some of the fundamentals of data and digital research such as how to use Excel, how to find old versions of websites and how to use Google advanced search.

About you

An outstanding early-career data journalist who is interested in working on investigations that make a difference. With a head for numbers, exceptional open source (OSINT) research skills, you’ll also have a good nose for a story and an eagle-eye for detail.

A highly collaborative individual you’ll have the ability to support a range of people and projects and run training to develop the skills of our campaign teams.

With a diverse range of technical skills and knowledge, you’ll be technically curious and excited about enhancing your analytical skills in this role.
