Job Information:

This exciting new role in our award-winning External Affairs Department will fight for the hospice sector and people who need their care and support.

This is a critical time for hospice and end of life care. Hospices across the UK are in the worst financial situation they have faced for 20 years. The funding crisis means hospices are cutting services and making redundancies.

But this is also a time of significant political opportunity. The Assisted Dying Bill has placed palliative care firmly on the agenda. We have recently secured £100m of emergency funding for the sector in England and the 10-year health plan has identified hospices as central to the shift from hospital to community. 

To seize this once in a generation opportunity, we are expanding our UK-wide policy and public affairs team from six to eight, including a new Policy and Public Affairs Manager. 

We are looking for a proactive and driven policy and public affairs professional with excellent influencing and communication skills. You will have your finger on the pulse and have strong policy and political knowledge that enables you to quickly understand and analyse the impact of external developments. 

You will be curious about how best to improve people’s experiences of death, dying and bereavement and strengthen the contribution of the hospice sector to this. As well as collaborative and committed to building coalitions to maximise our impact. 

You will provide leadership but must also be willing to pitch in at all levels to get things done. Excellent project management skills will mean you can identify where our resource is best spent and how to delegate tasks. This exciting new role in our award-winning External Affairs Department will fight for the hospice sector and people who need their care and support.

You will personally lead an impressive and wide ranging portfolio of work. This includes leading the charge on securing long-reform of the way hospices are funded in England and taking the next steps in our UK-wide policy and public affairs work on access to palliative and end of life care for people living in financial hardship. You will also line manage a new Policy and Public Affairs Assistant who will be supporting our team across all four nations of the UK.

This is your chance to play a key role in creating a country where no one misses out on the care they need at the end of their lives. For more information, refer to our candidate information pack.

This is a rewarding opportunity to lead the development of this new department which is focused on providing excellent experiences and opportunities within our Community Centres for local people, in ways that generate income, and helps support the financial sustainability of the charity.  You will shape and grow our Community Centre offers, focusing on what local people value and would like to have available within our centres, whilst upholding the charity’s values and long-term vision. 

Reporting to the CEO, this position is responsible for leading our Centres & Events Team, which includes the Facilities Team (who maintain and develop our buildings), the Front of House Team (who welcome people and provide information, along with managing room hire), our community Events Manager, our Catering & Café Teams, plus Design and Communications Team. 

As part of our Senior Management Team, you will also help shape the wider strategy and culture of the organisation, working cross-departmentally and contributing to the development of our annual budgets. 

Who we are 

We are a well-established charity and community anchor organisation, based across two sites in Southville and Bedminster.  Through our centres, café, nursery, and community programmes, we work to improve the wellbeing, health, happiness, and sense of belonging of people living in the local area. 

We’re passionate about helping our staff grow, whether that’s through professional development or creating space to thrive in their roles. 

Who you are 

You are a systems and process-orientated leader, able to bring teams together to create a cohesive, efficient and effective whole.  You bring: 

• Strong leadership, organisational, commercial and communication skills. 

• Experience in organising diverse areas of operation and developing efficient systems and processes. 

• An ability to empower others to lead and make decisions. 

• Creativity and confidence to develop new offers in response to local needs. 

• A desire to support the financial sustainability of the charity. 

Your ability to develop efficient, effective and integrated systems and processes with your teams, as well as to identify offers that local people will engage with, value and pay for within our Community Centres, will be essential to your success in this role. 

Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging 

We are committed to ensuring Equality of opportunity and access, celebrating Diversity, and promoting Inclusion and Belonging.  This commitment is vital, not only for our service users, but for our staff and the community we serve. 

Contract Type: Permanent.

Hours: 37.5 hours per week.

Salary: £38,987.69 per annum.

Holidays: 31 days including Bank Holidays, plus additional long-service leave (capped).

Benefits: Pension scheme, subsidised under-fives childcare, employee assistance programme, training and development opportunities.

Closing Date: Monday 11th August. 

Interviews: Week commencing 18th August. 

Role Overview

The Film & TV Charity’s Looking Glass research on the mental health of the UK film, TV and cinema workforce has consistently shown that mental health and rates of loneliness at work are significantly worse in this sector than among the population as a whole. Further Charity research has also shown that the two are closely linked, strongly suggesting that tackling loneliness is vital part of the industry-wide fight to protect the mental health of the workforce. 

As the Community Development Manager, you will use our research insights to help develop the Charity’s community strategy, managing a programme of work that seeks to embed social connection as a core mental health priority in the Charity’s work and among the wider industry. You will also deliver specific projects stemming from the community strategy. Foremost among these is the Charity’s Community Partnerships programme. This involves working with a cohort of peer and community-led industry support groups to meet the needs of their communities, primarily through regular events-based engagement at our Soho offices. But it may also involve contributing to the co-working space offer at our offices in Soho, and to the Charity’s research on themes related to loneliness and social connection.

You will need to have experience of strategy development and partnerships or community management, and the excellent relationship management skills on which this depends. A background in developing mental or social wellbeing interventions is highly desirable, as is experience working in the film, television or creative industries. You will be a positive and enthusiastic individual, with a passion for creating solutions that support people’s mental and social wellbeing.

Netherton Feelgood Factory, a community-based healthy living centre, is offering an exciting opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of people and the environment by taking forward the development of the Netherton Community Garden and Green Hub. We are looking for an imaginative and committed person with knowledge of horticulture but also with the people skills to support and help people from the local area.

Since then, and thanks latterly to a National Lottery grant, the garden has begun to develop as a Green Community Hub with the aim of enabling local people to adopt more sustainable lifestyles.  The garden has a positive impact on the local community by providing a meeting place, a venue for skills training and a place to promote positive mental and physical health.

The Co-ordinator will also work within the Feelgood Factory as a member of the Community team.
