Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with our client in the recruitment of a new Community Services Coordinator, on a permanent basis. This is an exciting new role for the organisation which offers flexibility, and the opportunity to make a tangible difference to the lives of those living with lupus.
Please note, this role will be remote (based in Northern Ireland) with regular travel across NI and across the wider UK, depending on service need. Please also note, this role is offered on either a full-time or part-time basis.
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease which is uncommon, complex and poorly understood. It affects the immune system and can cause lasting damage to the kidneys, skin, heart, lungs and/or brain. This organisation is the only national charity supporting people living with lupus and those that care for them. They hold an ambition for a world where people with lupus can live full and active lives and work hard to empower people by providing information about lupus and offering support so their voices are heard and their condition diagnosed and managed effectively.
This is an exciting new role for the organisation which will focus on engaging with communities and recruiting and training volunteers to deliver peer support services for those living with lupus. As Community Services Coordinator you will work as part of a small, tight-knit team, and will facilitate co-production sessions with stakeholders across the lupus community, enabling beneficiaries to design and shape community-based services. The role will involve providing direct support to service users, producing regular reports, and supporting and managing volunteers to provide service resourcing. The organisation is particularly interested in developing their support offering across Northern Ireland and require someone who understands the health landscape and is confident to engage with a range of stakeholders to develop their offering.
This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact across the lupus community. To apply for this role you must have demonstrable experience of recruiting, supporting and managing volunteers, and will be confident working in partnership with a range of stakeholders. You will be a warm and engaging individual with experience of facilitating group work in a variety of settings, and monitoring services for evaluative purposes. You will have a clear understanding of supporting others to navigate the UK health system (with a particular understanding that this differs between UK nations).
Please apply by submitting your CV in Word format (cover letters are not required at this stage). Successful candidates will be contacted and invited to put together a supporting statement.
Interviews to take place on Wednesday 29th April.
