We exist to change the odds stacked against Black people by embedding race equity into systemic change so that thriving is not the exception but the norm.

About Black Thrive

Black Thrive Global evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016 to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people in Lambeth. Black people’s cumulative exposure to negative experiences and poor outcomes are not unique to Lambeth and Black Thrive Global was founded in 2020 to address the detrimental outcomes for Black people of African and Caribbean descent wherever they may be located.

Our work covers all life stages – children and young people, working age adults and older adults. Our guiding principle is to centre the lived experiences of Black communities in all that we do and our strategic priorities are to embed race equity in systems change and to decolonise the evidence landscape. 

Purpose of the role

We are working with Lottery Community Fund, Impact On Urban Health and Lambeth Living Well Network Alliance (LWNA) to build a Black led culturally appropriate peer support and advocacy (CAPSA) service, designed by Black people for Black communities in Lambeth. CAPSA supports people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or are experiencing difficulties in accessing services that will improve their mental wellbeing. It will be made up of compassionate and caring individuals like you. We will also help community members who are already using mental health services and would like more support.

Do you have the vision, expertise and person-centred values to be able to make a real difference to the lives of people with mental health support needs? The service manager will be responsible for the smooth running and delivery of the CAPSA service. As Service Manager, you will lead a team of workers in achieving these goals through line management, coaching, supervision and mentoring.

Closing date - 6th October at 5pm

Interviews on - 14th and 15th October

The global investment system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face today. Investors, as holders of capital and owners of the companies they invest in, have an influence on corporate practice. They influence which companies find it easier or harder to access finance and can use engagement tactics to influence the companies they’re invested in. Through their investment decisions and company engagement, investors can support a transition to a more sustainable, healthier way of living - this is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the investment system better serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

By considering health when they allocate money or engage with investee companies, investors can drive toward better health outcomes whilst improving the financial sustainability of their investments. More on LIPH can be found on our website.
