Wave Café, a social enterprise based in North London, seeks a creative, organised and community-minded development director to oversee the strategic planning and delivery of its exciting, inclusive community café project.

Status: Part time (3 days /week, with potential for growth)

Salary: £30,000 p/a, pro-rata

Start Date: September 2021

Who we are

Wave Café is a charity whose aim is to reduce inequalities and radically change attitudes to learning disability and difference in our local community. While we recognise there is lots of provision for people with learning disabilities in our society, places where people of all abilities mix with each other as equals, not as ‘helpers’ and ‘service users’, are few and far between. By creating a community space where We are All Valued Equally, Wave Café showcases an alternative brand of community – one where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities spend time together - socialising, working, creating, and enjoying each other’s company and qualities.

We currently operate an inclusive community café space in Muswell Hill, North London, 9am-5pm on Thursdays. We open our doors to those with and without learning disability in our community, offering a relaxed and friendly space to work or socialise, with inclusive art and yoga and great food  (at an inclusive price point).

We are looking to move to opening two days each week as soon as we can.

What it’s like working for us

Wave Café is a small and intimate charity with a warm, friendly and non-judgemental ethos. You will get to know the members of our vibrant and diverse community quickly – it is a bit like a very large family! It is vital that our staff can maintain the balance between the informal, inclusive atmosphere with the necessity to maintain high standards in the running of the café.

Equally, as an organisation developing in size and capacity, there will often be times when you will need to be self-directed in your work – taking initiative and thinking on your feet.

You will be expected to ‘get stuck in’ at all levels of the organisation, happy to do the organisational and managerial aspects of the role as well as the more everyday tasks. Wave Café also places huge value on the relational and interpersonal aspects of the role – it will be important that you can work alongside and get along with all different types of people.

Who we’re looking for

For this role, we are looking for someone with experience of working in a small business, charity or start-up environment. Alternatively, someone with a background in education or support work with adults, children or learning disability.

We want someone dynamic and creative, who can bring a fresh and exciting pair of eyes to this small social enterprise as it seeks to take the next steps in its growth. Good inter-personal skills are essential, as there will be lots of relationship building and community work involved with the post. We also require someone with the capacity to line-manage a varied team, and proven experience of planning and delivering projects.

You should have an interest in food and the creative arts, and a keen imagination, able to devise and plan engaging activities and events at the café. Some experience of working with websites, data management and social media would be desirable.

You may have previous experience working within an inclusive environment, or with people with learning disability, but it is not essential. Above all, you will be willing to work with difference, and open to learning from this experience. We recognise that changing one’s own attitudes to disability and difference can take time and hard work – we’re all on the journey!

Please refer to job description for more details.

How to apply

Please send a CV before Friday 28th May. You should include a brief personal statement (no more than 500 words) explaining why you are attracted to working in an inclusive environment and why you feel you will be suited to work within Wave Cafe.

Shortlisting will take place in the week beginning Monday May 31st. Interviews will take place over Zoom, and these are planned for the week beginning Monday June 14th.

Wave Café is committed to an equal opportunities policy for employment. If you feel you require support with any aspect of the application process, for whatever reason, the please let us know.

ABOUT BUCKINGHAMSHIRE MIND

Buckinghamshire Mind shares National Mind’s vision: “We won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.”  It remains our mission to deliver high quality community-based services across Buckinghamshire and East Berkshire to reach out and ensure everyone with a mental health problem gets access to the help they need.

Buckinghamshire Mind has over 500 volunteers (including 400 peer ambassadors/mentors in schools and over 100 in befriending partnerships). These dedicated individuals support our passionate staff team alongside an active service user council, who all ensure our services are tailored to need and are of the highest quality.

Purpose of the role

The Social Prescribing service will be delivered by Community Link Workers working from GP surgeries in Primary Care Network (PCN) areas. The Community Link Worker will be directly employed by Buckinghamshire Mind.

Social prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and wellbeing through GP referral to non-medical Community Link Workers (CLW’s) based in GP surgeries who give time, focus on ‘what matters to me’ and take a holistic approach, connecting people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. Community Link Workers work collaboratively with all local partners.

Social prescribing can help to strengthen community resilience and personal resilience and reduces health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing, and physical inactivity, by increasing people’s active involvement with their local communities. It particularly works for people with long-term conditions (including support for mental health), for people who are lonely or isolated, or have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.

Key Responsibilities

1. Take referrals from GP practices within a primary care network.
2. Provide personalised, holistic support to individuals, their families, and carers to take control of their wellbeing, live independently and improve their health outcomes.
3. Develop trusting relationships by giving people time and attention to their priorities and ‘what matters to me’.
4. Co-produce a personalised support plan to improve health and wellbeing, introducing or reconnecting people to community groups and statutory services.
5. Managing and prioritising your own caseload, in accordance with the needs, priorities and any urgent support required by individuals on the caseload.
6. To refer people back to other health professionals/ agencies when the person’s needs are beyond the scope of the Community Link Worker role.

Key Tasks: Referrals

1. Promoting social prescribing to patients; its role in improving health outcomes, reducing social isolation and the ability to remain independent in one’s own home for longer.
2. Build relationships with key staff in GP practices within the local Primary Care Network (PCN), attending relevant meetings, becoming part of the wider network team, giving information and feedback on social prescribing.
3. Be proactive in developing strong links with GP surgery personnel to encourage referrals, recognising what they need to be confident in the service to make appropriate referrals.
4. Work in partnership with all local agencies to raise awareness of social prescribing and how partnership working can reduce pressure on statutory services, improve health outcomes and enable a holistic approach to care.
5. Provide referrers with regular updates about social prescribing, including information on the types of people most likely to benefit from the service, how to refer and outcomes of referrals
6. Seek regular feedback about the quality of service and impact of social prescribing on referrers.
7. Work in close collaboration with the Prevention Matters service to maximise the availability of social prescribing across the county whilst ensuring there is no duplication of resources.

Provide personalised support

5. Help people maintain or regain independence through developing skills, adaptations, enablement approaches and simple safeguards.
6. Work with patients to co-produce a simple personalised support plan – based on their priorities, interests, values, and motivations – including what they can expect from the groups, activities, and services they are being connected to and what the person can do for themselves to improve their health and wellbeing.
7. Where appropriate, physically introduce patients to community groups, activities, and statutory services, ensuring they are comfortable. Follow up to ensure they are happy, able to engage, included and receiving good support.
8. Where patients may be eligible for a personal health budget, help them to explore this option as a way of providing funded, personalised support to be independent, including helping people to gain skills for meaningful employment, where appropriate.

Support community groups and VCSE organisations.

1. Develop supportive relationships with local Voluntary, Community, Social Enterprise groups/organisations and statutory services, to make timely, appropriate, and supported referrals for the patient being introduced.
2. Work with commissioners and local partners to identify unmet needs within the community and gaps in community provision.
3. Support local partners and commissioners to develop new groups and services where needed, through small grants for community groups, micro-commissioning, and development support.
4. Encourage patients who have been connected to community support through social prescribing to volunteer and give their time freely to others, in order to build their skills and confidence, and strengthen community resilience.
5. Encourage patients, their families, and carers to provide peer support and to do things together, such as setting up new community groups or volunteering.
