The role

We are currently looking for experienced facilitators with a counselling qualification to deliver our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer (LWSBC) service in various locations across the UK.

Our LWSBC groups offer support and information to anyone living with a diagnosis of secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. The groups offer a safe space where people can come to talk freely and share experiences and mutual support with others who understand, away from friends and family. They are not therapeutic support groups in the traditional sense but are delivered in accordance with Breast Cancer Now’s service model used across the UK which has been developed and tested for over 10 years. Each group meets monthly 11:00am – 1:00pm with a slightly longer meeting each quarter (11:00am – 1:30pm) when an expert speaker presents on a relevant topic.

You will be responsible for facilitating the meetings, drawing upon your therapeutic skills as required to ensure that all attendees are given time to share and supported to take part in discussion, including around challenging topics affecting this patient group such as end of life. You will work independently in your region, with sole responsibility for facilitating each group meeting, liaising with venue staff as required. You will act as an ambassador for Breast Cancer Now, promoting our charitable aims and building professional relationships with healthcare professionals who attend.

This is offered as a contract for services position and as such the appointed contractor would not be an employee of Breast Cancer Now but a self-employed individual. We require all contractors to adhere to and follow Breast Cancer Now applicable policies and procedures and to undertake some mandatory training in core subjects such as data protection and cyber security. A satisfactory criminal record check will be required, and we advise you to have your own Public Liability insurance in place to fully cover the work you undertake on behalf of Breast Cancer Now.

About you

You will have a counselling qualification and experience of facilitating groups, preferably ongoing support groups for people affected by cancer or a life-limiting long-term condition, or other vulnerable/sensitive group. You will have a warm and approachable manner, able to communicate sensitively with people facing difficult challenges. You should be confident using your own initiative and dealing with unforeseen challenges when working alone.

The Communications Manager is a new role, overseeing the Marketing, PR and Communications strategy for the Charity.

The hospital charity has been successful in driving internal communications amongst its hospitals, but is now seeking to raise its profile across the Midlands, showcasing what the Charity already funds and what it wants to raise money to fund in the future.

The Charity feels it needs to recruit someone with more knowledge of Digital Fundraising, although they will also be responsible for delivering the internal and external communications channels.

As the Communications Manager you will lead a small team in devising multichannel communications and supporter journey marketing campaigns that help raise awareness of our work, build our digital communities, and help drive income generation through targeted engagement activity. 

You will work closely with teams across the charity and our hospitals to ensure that our marketing and communications' needs are met and that we become known as an organisation which delivers innovative, engaging and effective campaigns and communications initiatives in support of our beneficiaries.

As a professional with experience of digital fundraising, communications, marketing (including digital marketing), social media, supporter engagement, brand development and media, your remit will include working closely with fundraising colleagues to develop, deliver and evaluate a schedule of donor acquisition and retention campaigns and to identity engagement opportunities across all marketing channels.

The ideal candidate will bring not only the gravitas and innovation to proactively lead a team to deliver exceptional results but also the creativity and ambition to see the Charity's brand increase across the Midlands.

University Hospitals Birmingham Charity consists of four hospital charities supporting some of the busiest hospitals in Birmingham – Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Heartlands Hospital, Good Hope Hospital and Solihull Hospital.

The Charity is dedicated to improving the experience of patients, their families and the staff who care for them.

UHB Charity raises funds to support patients of the four hospitals by providing new and innovative equipment, funding research and supporting patient and family welfare projects.

As part of our family support service, The Joshua Tree provides opportunities for all members of our families to connect with and gain support from our team of support workers. This includes children and young people that are newly diagnosed with cancer, on treatment and post treatment, as well as siblings and wider young family members.  By developing a positive, trusting and caring ongoing professional relationship with the children and their families, the families will feel comfortable and confident in visiting the centre on a regular basis.

The key purpose of this role is to plan and deliver a high quality, child focused programme of activities for children aged 0 to 18 affected by childhood cancer. Over the next 12 months the Support Centre will be utilised during the daytime, after school times, in the evenings, at weekends and during the school holidays, therefore flexibility on working days and times is essential. The role will also include delivering 1 to 1 support programmes to enhance emotional wellbeing with children in school or at their home. This means that there is an expectation for Family Support staff to travel and be willing to use their car for business purposes. Post holders must have a full driving licence and have access to a reliable vehicle. Mileage expenses will be covered by the employer.

It will be important to maintain the playroom, teenage areas and playground at the Support Centre, as well as planning, organising and implementing activities, programmes, groups and individual care plans to suit the needs of children and young people.

Strong communication in this role is key and this includes liaising with other members of the family support team to co-ordinate targeted interventions when required e.g. counselling, art therapy, nutrition advice, personal training, school support etc. This post also involves an element of administrative duties as well as monitoring the impact our work is having on our beneficiaries and regularly updating our new Lamplight Database system.

The nature of work is hugely rewarding it can also be emotionally demanding. A full induction programme and training will be provided and we are a very supportive team, offering regular supervision and reflection time to support emotional wellbeing. The post holder will follow The Joshua Tree's values and effectively communicate with service users, their families, colleagues and educational and healthcare professionals.
