My Care My Way

My Care My Way (MCMW) is an innovative way of working with people over the age of 65 with complex needs and conditions. The person is at the centre of holistic care planning across organisations such as health, social care and the voluntary sector. This way of working is a more coordinated, consistent way of providing care for people over 65 with long term conditions in West London and requires people with commitment and passion to work with older people. My Care My Way has been created following intensive work with professionals, patients and the voluntary sector to create a model of care rooted in evidence and designed to meet local needs.

Patients are at the heart of the model, and are working in partnership with professionals, supported by a dedicated integrated care team. All involved, including the person and their carer, will design care plans together to keep the person well for as long as possible and to achieve outcomes that they identify.

My Care My Way delivers more consistent care for patients at their GP practice, within two multi-functional Integrated Care Hubs in the locality, or within their homes.

Role Summary

The Health and Social Care Assistant (HSCA) role offers an exciting opportunity to become part of the My Care My Way workforce; bringing together health and social care expertise to deliver real change for how care is delivered in West London.

The vision for this role is aspirational, in that it aims to bring together over time duties that are carried out by Health Care Assistants, Social Care Trusted Assessors, Navigators, and other disciplines. The post holder will also be equipped to provide low level mental health support. There is an emphasis on promoting independence and supporting patients to adopt self-care approaches, by linking them in with voluntary sector services based on their long term conditions, interests and preferences.

About Fourth Monkey:

A drama school, arts organisation and registered charity based in North London, Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company was founded in 2010 and are now recruiting for a variety of new roles within their core office team to support their ongoing growth and evolution.

It’s an exciting time to be joining the Fourth Monkey team; since marking our 10-year anniversary in 2020 whereby our two-year training course was successfully accredited as our BA (Hons) Acting Accelerated Degree by our degree-awarding partner Falmouth University, we have subsequently added the newly accredited CertHE Acting & Theatre Making and MA Collaborative Theatre to our training provision. In 2021, we also announced our new Regional Centre of Excellence in Bristol, whereby students from Bristol and the surrounding area will be able to learn on our CertHE Acting & Theatre Making course from September 2021.

Please note regarding the contract and working hours of the role: 

The contract is permanent, working approximately 6 months per year, with the spread of hours heavily weighted to September-January, reducing to several “keeping in touch” days April-August. This post would suit somebody who works seasonally during summer, with availability in winter.

This is offered on a rolling contract (to be negotiated).

An opportunity to lead the delivery and development of our flagship Caring at Christmas project. Caring at Christmas is a volunteer-led service that provides warmth, safety, food and connection for some of the most isolated and vulnerable people in Bristol at a particularly difficult time of year. The project is funded entirely by donations from the public and small grants. It involves mobilising hundreds of volunteers and supporters and working with partners from all over the city.

Caring at Christmas has not changed at its core since its inception some thirty years ago, but we made some bold changes to how the project operates in 2018 with real benefits for the people we work with. 2020 bought considerable challenges for the delivery of this work and as we were not able to safely hold a drop in-style event, we ran a delivery service instead, bringing hot food and Christmas cheer to people in emergency temporary accommodation all over Bristol.

We are hopeful that we will be able to host an event in 2021 but would also like to retain the expanded reach of the project which 2020 gave us, and explore how we can support people who usually cannot access Caring at Christmas. We continue to build on the success of this evolving approach while maintaining the same core objectives. Using non-institutional spaces, linking our guests with other organisations, and bringing together the considerable talent and resources in Bristol, are key to our vision.

Charity People are so pleased to be working in partnership with Hackney Foodbank, who are looking for a new People and Training Manager to join their wonderful team.

Part of a network of food banks, Hackney Foodbank are an amazing organisation that aim to achieve no less than a hunger-free Hackney. They support people with emergency food parcels and connecting the community with local organisations who can help address the root causes of poverty in their lives.

Working closely with senior management, you will be responsible for the volunteering at the organisation, including recruitment, induction & development of all volunteers; ensuring a diverse set of volunteers who are aligned to the mission and vision of Hackney Foodbank. Other duties include establishing the effective use of a volunteer system.

Additionally, you will lead on all training and people development within the organisation, such as leading on the developing of an EDI strategy and wellbeing policy, as well as working closely with the CEO to implement development plans across the staff team.

The ideal person for this role will have significant experience of volunteer management and delivering training to new staff members, with the understanding of delivery of good beneficiary care. You will also have excellent organisational and communication skills, be flexible and able to work under own initiative. Previous experience of working within a food bank, and developing an EDI strategy would be desirable, however not essential.

If you would like to find out more, please send your most recent CV to Kate Headford at Charity People.

Closing: Wednesday 4th August at 12noon
