About Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity (GSTTC)

GSTTC is an independent urban health foundation working with others to improve health outcomes in Lambeth and Southwark. We’re currently working to:

1. Reduce childhood obesity
2. Slow down people's progression to multiple long-term conditions (MLTC)
3. Find innovative solutions to the health effects of air pollution

The Catalyst Project is part of our MLTC programme.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity would like to run an18-month pilot programme with five organisations in the Walworth area of Southwark to test and measure the impact of a place-based grants programme. Grants are to be awarded to individuals identified by VCS organisations already working with them, to support with their health and wellbeing, as part of the GSTTC’s approach to slowing down people’s progression to multiple long-term conditions (MLTC). 

Based upon Cripplegate Foundation’s Catalyst Programme, GSTTC hope to give out grants of up to £500 per person to individuals with multiple long-term conditions to help improve their health outcomes. Piloting the Catalyst programme will also allow GSTTC to have a clearer picture of the potential impact of such grants and gather evidence to support and, potentially, expanding the scheme across Southwark. 

Community Southwark have been asked to manage this process. This will involve co-designing, producing and developing the pilot programme, implementing it, and monitoring and evaluating both the programme and the health and wellbeing outcomes over 18 months.

There is an expectation that if successful, the programme will be scaled up across Southwark.

Leeds Mencap are looking for two creative and experienced people to join our fundraising team.  We have a vacancy for a Trust fundraiser and a temporary vacancy for a Development Officer to cover maternity leave.

Leeds Mencap is a busy, friendly and ambitious local charity based in East Leeds but operating city wide.  Based at The Vinery Centre, we have a thriving community nursery and room hire enterprise running alongside our specialist services for children and young people with learning disabilities and their families.  We are an independent local charity and we need to raise all our own funds. 

For both roles we need people who are proactive and flexible in their approach and who will be able to hit the ground running.  We have ambitious fundraising plans and our priority is to raise our profile and encourage more people to support us. To support this ambition you’ll have excellent communication and writing skills and be able to craft stories that inspire and engage supporters. You’ll be a self-starter who can manage their own workload and be willing to get stuck in.
In return you’ll work in a supportive team in a bright and airy building which is humming with a wide range of activities. The children in our on-site community nursery never fail to entertain.  We can offer flexible working and a generous annual leave entitlement with company sick pay entitlement from the first day of employment. Even better, you’ll go home each day knowing you have made a difference to the lives of people who have a learning disability. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious local charity and we look forward to hearing from you.
