About this role

We are very excited to be recruiting for a new community organiser to help us deliver a range of organising projects across Custom House. You will be joining a passionate and dedicated team of experienced organisers to who are committed to supporting PEACH’s members, all of whom are local residents, to achieve long-lasting, positive social change in the area.  We are looking for someone who cares deeply about social justice, who can make sense of and communicate complex information quickly and clearly, and who feels confident building strong, action-oriented relationships in a diverse community. 

About PEACH

PEACH: People’s Empowerment Alliance for Custom House, was founded in April 2013 and is also a ‘Big Local’ area in receipt of Big Lottery funding until 2026. Over the last 7 years, we have built a people’s organisation led by formidable community leaders who have achieved real change that previously seemed unthinkable in our area. From mothers organising to win a £300k rent cut from their temporary landlord, to local leaders setting up a successful workers’ co-operative cleaning business, to hundreds of residents democratising large scale regeneration schemes, we have been at the forefront of community empowerment.  Through our work, we have built up a treasure chest of grounded expertise and knowledge: our work has been researched and documented and we are now consistently asked to advise/teach educational, governmental and third sector bodies about co-production, community engagement and organising strategy.

PEACH is part of the Big Local Scheme, which has seen 150 areas across England receive £1million worth of funding over 10 years to improve their areas. In order to receive the money, we had to set up a decision-making body (where most members are residents of the area) and submit a Big Local Plan which said what we are aiming to achieve and how we were going to get there.

Elays Network is seeking a Community Engagement Coordinator to work closely with our team to facilitate the Health & Wellbeing programme among our community, specifically supporting adults and elderly members.

This programme will be supporting our Health & Wellbeing objectives and will work in partnership with Wandsworth Council, the NHS and other agencies. Elays Network  particularly welcomes applications from individuals who speak somali as a first/second language.

Are you an experienced, creative, and highly organised groups facilitator?

Do you care deeply about the welfare of older adults?

Do you have experience in social care or working with people with a wide variety of needs and abilities?

If you answered yes to all of the above, this could be the role for you!

We’re looking for an experienced and skilled individual who will deliver a package of support, including running group activities and one to one assessments, to help reduce loneliness, improve health and wellbeing and increase older adults and their carer’s opportunities to connect to their local community.

What we do

Time & Talents is a lively, busy community centre in the heart of Rotherhithe, SE16.  Set in a leafy heritage building, and ‘T&T2’, our second venue in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, we offer something for everyone. With a history of 134 years of supporting people of all ages in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, we bring people together for mutual support, fun and friendship, with a wide range of services and activities for older people and other adults, along with volunteering and children and families’ projects.

We work with around 400 older adults and their carers a year, many of whom are very frail and elderly. Sadly, though they very often get left out: their friendships and networks disappear, family and friends move away, and they end up very lonely and isolated. Once that happens, mental and physical illness too often follow. We believe that surrounding older adults with a welcoming, nurturing community, is vital to improving and maintaining their wellbeing. We also know they want to thrive, create, feel a sense of purpose, and continue living their lives to the full, for their whole lives.

In response to this we offer one to one support and case-working, befriending, and an exciting programme of social and support groups with fully escorted transport. We also run fun events and intergenerational activities to bring the whole community together. From reminiscence, art, music, and health and wellbeing advice, to outings and new and exciting experiences, no two days are the same.

The role

In this role, you'll deliver some of our existing groups, such as our Happy Mondays group, Friday Social Club and a lively Stroke Club. With the support of volunteers and community members, you'll coordinate other smaller peer-led and tutor-led groups (from exercise classes to a mental health support group for older women) and create new groups to be delivered in-person and digitally too.  You will support our Neighbourhood Care Coordination work by carrying out some home assessments on clients to identify their individual needs. Working closely with health, adult social care and voluntary sector organisations, as well as liaising with referees, you will work hard to ensure clients’ and their carers needs are met, providing help with anything from applying for making adaptions in the home to supporting them to get involved in one of our many groups or projects.

A key part of the role is involving older adults and carers themselves in the delivery of the programme as volunteers, and involving people of all ages and backgrounds from the local community - from NHS health professionals to local artists and students. You will also need to build individual relationships of trust with older participants, and work closely with our Neighbourhood Care Coordinator and Older Adult’s Programme Manager to ensure we take a joined-up approach to caring for individuals.

About you

The role needs someone creative, energetic, passionate, but importantly, also highly organised. You must be as comfortable making sure a minibus schedule is up to date, as you are delivering craft activities or quizzes, or as comfortable hosting NHS professionals delivering healthcare advice, as you would be helping run an escorted visit to a local farm. You need to have lots of ideas, and be highly ambitious, but also be able to make your ideas happen. 

Most of all, we need someone who cares deeply about the welfare of older adults and their carers, and is able to react quickly and appropriately to emerging issues – especially to the more serious care issues we inevitably encounter. While appropriate training will be given, we are looking for candidates with some social care experience ideally.

About us

We are an energetic, experienced, and passionate team of 15, with a strong sense of shared purpose and a lively sense of humour. You’ll have the chance to make a big contribution to a growing, ambitious and innovative organisation which has doubled its reach and impact in recent years.

This role is full time, with flexibility for regular evening and occasional weekend working.

Time & Talents is wholly committed to inclusion and diversity, and to building a culture and environment where everyone is appreciated for the unique person that they are. We actively encourage applications from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.

If you would like an informal chat about the job, please email us with your phone number and a suitable time for us to call.

The closing date is 5:30pm on Monday 24th May.

Coronavirus/COVID-19: the safety and wellbeing of our current and future employees remains a top priority, therefore interviews will be conducted remotely by video if necessary.

About us
We are a charity dedicated to ensuring that people most impacted by injustice are leading campaigns that affect their lives, from better housing to fairer treatment of migrants to LGBTQ+ rights. Our mission is to support people to run effective campaigns that challenge injustice. We do this by running campaign training programmes that help people develop the skills, confidence and community to change things that matter to them. In our trainings, we prioritise people from communities directly impacted by injustice.
Participants might be low-income, working-class people, people of colour, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people and migrants, refugees and asylum seekers.
Our graduates testify before Parliament, organise national demonstrations, change laws and wage important, successful campaigns. They are from diverse and marginalised communities and our evaluation shows that they are developing confidence in their ability to affect change and are making meaningful ‘wins’ towards achieving their aims on a broad range of issues such as; violence in a community, access to public space, fairness in the asylum system, and women’s inclusion and safety in leisure centres.

About the job
We are seeking a Logistics Coordinator who will help us set up and deliver our learning programme for campaigners and trainers. These programmes will be residential, online, community-based and event-based. They will be delivered to individual campaigners, community groups, charitable partner clients. The Logistics Coordinator role is a varied position that gives you an opportunity to work in lots of different ways. Each day is different in this role. One day you could be creating social media materials to recruit new people to our trainings, the next, you could be coordinating venues, catering and transportation for a residential training, or talking to a participant about their access needs and how we can best accommodate them.

Your role is to help ensure that all our participants have a great experience of our learning programmes by recruiting people to our programmes and then making sure that all of their technical, logistical and access needs are met. We are looking for someone who can think creatively about how to best support people (Would it help for people to have a guide explaining how to use Zoom? How can we reach people who have been in the care system to let them know that there is a scholarship available for them to attend our residential?) and someone who has rigorous attention to detail, for example, ensuring that all dietary needs are communicated accurately to the caterer or our complex schedule for processing hundreds of applications to the residential programmes is well coordinated. The tasks you do on any given day may be different, but they are all about making sure participants feel supported, prepared and have what they need to engage with the training. Some work may be outside office hours.

About the team

The successful applicant will join our newly formed Logistics team for programme delivery. Managed by the Logistics and Operations Manager you will be working closely with the different programmes to support participant and trainers needs.

We know there is a huge demand for our work, so are working hard to grow our organisation in a sustainable way. You’ll be a key part of doing that - by helping our colleagues deliver efficient, powerful programmes.

Each week we run over 380 different activities for older people from our own three centres and over 60 other community venues.

Flexible remote working with regular travel to our London Bridge office (currently closed due to Covid-19 restrictions)

What the job involves

Our high performing Community Fundraising team raises funds through a range of activities such as walks, golf, treks and cycle rides as well as via organisations such as Rotary.  This is in addition to a collection of charity-owned products developed in-house – known as “The Month Series”.  The Month Series consists of three separate physical challenges - walking, running or cycling for people to take on throughout particular months of the year. We launched this series post-Covid and have achieved incredible income results as well as driving new, and engaging with, warm supporters.

We have a great opportunity for someone to join and assist the team working on The Month Series. You’ll be the first point of contact for many taking on a challenge - providing administration and support through telephone, email and social media channels. You’ll be building and managing relationships with existing and new supporters, motivating them to complete their challenge, whilst offering fundraising advice and ensuring they receive a first-class experience, from registration through to completion.

The role will involve maintaining high quality data on The Raiser’s Edge database, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records on JustGiving and via Facebook Fundraising, whilst ensuring information gathered is recorded in accordance with the requirements of GDPR.

You’ll work closely with various colleagues across the Community and Sporting Events teams, and members of our Communications teams, to engage with our digital adverts, and identify compelling supporter stories that will raise the profile of The Month Series, as well as prostate cancer and Prostate Cancer UK.

You’ll have the energy and passion to provide crucial support to these sector-leading products which are already on track to recruit over 25,000 supporters in 2021 and generate £5M+ of gross income. This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person to grow, develop and gain valuable skills and experience in a fundraising role within a progressive and innovative organisation. You’ll be part of a passionate team fighting to stop prostate cancer from being a killer.

This is a full-time role and, whilst we mainly operate via core hours throughout the week, Monday to Friday, there is a requirement for some flexibility around occasional evening and weekend work to provide administrative support when events are running, for example, responding quickly to emails and comments from our supporters on Facebook about their experiences.

What we want from you

You’ll make a positive and valuable contribution to the success of the Community Fundraising team through excellent communication skills and being proactive in supporting our event participants. You’ll have a strong eye for detail and will be able to prioritise a busy workload to ensure we are able to deliver excellent supporter care. You’ll be self-motivated, well organised and have a ‘can-do’ approach to the role.

Why work for us?

We’re here to stop prostate cancer killing men and damaging bodies and lives. We unite the brightest minds in science and healthcare and the most passionate and caring people to help men live long and live well. As the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer continues to rise, we continue to make advances in research to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment and support so that we can build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer.

The support we’ll provide

Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will help you learn, develop your skills and expertise, and achieve your highest aspirations. We provide everything you’d expect from a professional organisation – with agile working and a competitive benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, an enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance, cycle to work scheme and season ticket loans. Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.

Our commitment

Our teams, supporters, partners, and those living with prostate cancer, come from all walks of life. We draw upon the difference in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think to build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer. Not only is it the right thing to do, it makes our charity stronger and helps us reach more people. If you share our ambition, we would love to hear from you.

Catch22 exists to help build a society where everyone has a good place to live, good people around them, and a fulfilling purpose. We call these our '3Ps'.

We achieve this in two ways. First we improve lives on the frontline through delivery of public services. Secondly, we use our knowledge to change 'the system', to fix the complex web that can trap and disempower those it was set up to help. With the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business, we are uniquely placed to deliver on this challenging agenda.

Job Description

As Development Coordinator you will play a foundation role in the Catch22 Development Team. You will support the Senior Development Managers in the Business Development and Partnerships units, creating a platform for them to drive growth and development through relationship-building, proposal-writing and high-impact pitching. Your excellent research, drafting, publishing and project management skills will be critical to keeping the show on the road. You will enable the whole Development Team to work through a large volume of opportunities, as we seek to achieve our development goals.

You will be joining an entrepreneurial, energetic and passionate unit with a fun but hardworking culture, all relentlessly committed to Catch22’s core mission and purpose. You will be someone with excellent organisational and administrative skills, an eye for detail, and a passion for social impact. Your research and development skills, ‘self-starter’ mentality, and raw energy will be instrumental to your and the Team’s success. 

The Development Team as a whole is the engine room of Catch22’s mission and business plan. Collectively it seeks to grow Catch22’s reach, influence, impact and secure funds that allow us to change peoples’ lives for the better.
