Job Description

LGBT+ Veterans Community Team Manager (CTM)

Fighting With Pride (FWP) is seeking to employ a LGBT+ Veterans Community Team Manager (CTM), on a full, part time or job share basis, initially for a period of 24 months.  The post is responsible for managing a team of LGBT+ Veterans Community Workers (VCWs) with regional responsibilities, around the UK including Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, which are also vacant posts. The post holder will also have their own regional responsibility for community work and the development of FWPs Pride in Veterans Standard (PiVS) in their region.

This is an exciting new role, which would be well suited to a self-starter with a passion for helping people.  An awareness of the challenges faced by Armed Forces Veterans, and in particular LGBT+ Veterans, would be an advantage.

Background

FWP formed in January 2020 to support LGBT+ Veterans, serving personnel and their families.  FWP is a registered charity in England and Wales (Registered Charity No. 1191863) and is led by its Joint Chief Executives Caroline Paige and Craig Jones, with the support of the charity’s Board. 

An increasing number of Veterans are getting in touch, and we want to build an exceptional team to support them.  We are looking for an outstanding leader who can take our community work to a new level. A wide range of housing, financial, health and welfare needs have been supported, signposted or socially prescribed, and we have established a network group, activity breaks and newsletters to support a high level of emerging needs. Awareness of these resources and opportunities are percolating through the LGBT+ Veterans community and we are connecting far and wide.  Our partners RBL and SSAFA have strongly supported FWP in our early development and helped us manage the wide range of connections that the charity is making.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to put in place a Community Team Manager who will lead a team of 5 Fighting With Pride Veterans Community Workers (VCWs) currently vacant posts, and work with a Pride in Veterans Standard (PiVS) Manager. (PiVS is a national standard that FWP is rolling out in 2022 for organisations that support the Armed Forces Covenant, to help them better understand, welcome and support LGBT+ Veterans.)

Period of Employment

March 2022 - March 2024 (an earlier or later start may be negotiated and the 24 month fixed term contract will commence from the start date and end 24 months later.)

Location

We are looking to recruit the CTM in the UK and they can be based in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.  Candidates from all nations and regions are, therefore, strongly encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate will work from home and will be supported by an experienced leadership team.

Role Description and Community Team Manager Responsibilities

The CTM is a fundamental role for FWP.  The post holder will establish their role, regionally as a LGBT+ Veterans Community Worker (VCW) and nationally as the manager of five other regional LGBT+ Veterans Community Workers (VCWs).  They will also work closely with the FWP PiVS Manager.

As awareness grows of FWPs policy work and as each form of reparation is announced, more LGBT+ Veterans will step forward and more support will be needed. We expect this role to be a busy, but extremely rewarding one.

The CTM will help FWP build its mutual support and befriending network and connect Veterans to our research programme, which is partnered with Newcastle University. The research programme is considering the impact of the ban upon LGBT+ Veteran’s health, housing, wellbeing, financial circumstances and employment.  The research aims to provide the evidence base to shape existing Veterans services and create new services that can support recovery in this disadvantaged community. 

FWP strongly supports LGBT+ capacity building in other organisations and aims to connect LGBT+ Veterans, through social prescribing and signposting, to organisations where we know LGBT+ Veterans will get a warm welcome. You will play a pivotal role enabling training and education with our partners.  We are here to lend FWP’s lived experience of the ban and help others to develop their services for LGBT+ Veterans, service personnel and their families.

In early 2022, FWP will launch its Pride in Veterans Standard (PiVS) to help advise and support organisations how to develop their services quickly, to become visibly LGBT+ inclusive for Veterans. In the process of achieving the Standard, organisations will be helped to develop their web content, policies, communications and practices.

The CTM will be responsible for supporting Veterans in the UK and will visit a wide range of regional stakeholders in the course of their duties including RBL, SSAFA, Veterans Gateway, NHS Mental Health Trusts, NHSE, Stonewall, H4H, Combat Stress, Veteran’s charities and other regional and national LGBT+ Organisations.

The CTM will lead a team that enables LGBT+ Veterans to access services which can support them through the challenges of the reparations process and support the commencement or continuation of recovery.  You and your team will meet with referred LGBT+ Veterans and families and signpost, connect, or socially prescribe them to health and wellbeing NHS services that can help, or the services of other Veteran’s organisations such as H4H and Combat Stress.  This role will be a catalyst and enabler, helping advance the pace of welcoming back our LGBT+ Veterans to the military family and the protections of the Armed Forces Covenant. The initial term for the post to be established is for 2 years.

The LGBT+ Veterans Community Team Manager will report directly to the FWP Joint CEOs.

• Be a positive member of the FWP team and a role model and ambassador for the charity at all times.

The Lord Mayor’s Appeal aims to have a transformational impact on people’s lives by bringing together businesses, neighbouring communities, employees, and charities to find solutions to some of London’s most pressing societal issues. Our vision is to create A Better City for All, that is Inclusive, Healthy, Skilled and Fair, helping 1 million people thrive.

We do this by delivering programmes under our four key strategy areas; Inclusive, Healthy, Skilled and Fair, and through supporting inspirational charities who are delivering innovative solutions in these areas.

To create a Healthy City, we must end the stigma around mental health. Mental health impacts us all, with 9 out of 10 people being directly or indirectly by poor mental health each year. This has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the start of the pandemic there has been a 57% increase in anxiety.

Despite this, mental health still carries a huge stigma in society and within the workplace, with only 16% of employees feeling able to share a mental health problem with their line manager. Poor mental health in the workplace not only carries an unacceptable human cost, including loss of life, but it also carries a large financial cost to employers.

This is Me is a pioneering mental health programme that that aims to change attitudes around mental health and create healthier and more inclusive workplaces by reducing stigma, dispelling myths and improving employee wellbeing for good. We do this by providing organisations with the tools they need to:

1. Raise awareness through The Green Ribbon campaign, developed in partnership with PwC
2. Open up the conversation to dispel myths and challenge stereotypes through This is Me Storytelling, developed in partnership with Barclays
3. Build the skills of employees to manage their mental health and support their colleagues through our Wellbeing in the Workplace online wellbeing training, developed in partnership with Samaritans and PwC.

Research has proven that speaking openly about mental health, is good for people, good for society and good for business. 

We are looking for an experienced, passionate and driven Programme Manager, who is committed to mental health and wellbeing, to join our organisation to lead the delivery and growth of our Healthy Pillar Programme, This is Me.

Role purpose

Since 2016, over 1200 organisations have signed up to deliver This is Me in their organisation, across the UK and globally. We work with business and charity partners to deliver This is Me in London, the North West, Scotland, the West Midlands and Yorkshire, and internationally in India and Asia.

We have now developed our 2022-2024 3-year strategy for the programme, to align with the wider Programme Strategy of the Appeal, with the aim of growing the reach and impact of the programme.  We have an ambitious aim to grow the reach of the programme across the UK and internationally over the next 3 years.

The Programme Manager will be responsible for delivering our strategic aims for This is Me, working collaboratively with the Head of Programmes, external business partners and charity partners to;

1. Expand the reach of This is Me by diversifying the sectors we work with, prioritising increasing public sector participation
2. Support SMEs to participate in This is Me and provide bespoke support on how to adapt the tools
3. Support organisations to take an intersectional approach to mental health
4. Develop global partnerships to support organisations to engage with This is Me globally

This is an exciting role within our growing organisation, reporting into the Head of Programmes, and will play an instrumental role in our impact as an organisation and ending the stigma around mental health globally.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

The Lord Mayor’s Appeal is committed to diversity and equality of opportunity in all aspects of our work both external and internal. We strive to be an inclusive employer and particularly encourage applications from under-represented groups such as returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people who are LGBT+, from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, with a disability, impairment, learning difference or long-term condition, with caring responsibilities, and from less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. 

We are seeking an Operations Manager who will work closely with the Executive Director. We are looking for an experienced leader with successful line management experience who will lead the day-to-day management of front office staff and provide key support across all the back-office functions of The Mulberry Centre. The individual will support the Executive Director in the development and implementation of internal operational processes, working across the departments to strengthen and support more standardised and effective ways of working across the Centre, enabling The Mulberry Centre to deliver quality services with a professional and caring focus. They will ensure that relevant staff, volunteers and trustees are up-to-date on best practice to comply with COVID19 and centre risk assessment. You will need to be a warm and welcoming team player, be proactive and an office all-rounder supporting your colleagues. 

Street Child, one of the UK’s fastest-growing and most dynamic charities, are searching for an awesome fundraiser to lead our events and challenges space. This is an enormously demanding but epic role that sits right at the heart of the life of the charity – and is beyond vital to our supporter engagement and fundraising! 

 There are two critical components to the role: 

Firstly, you will lead the design and delivery of in-house events that our supporters will love. These presently range from galas to sporting challenges to more intimate supporter briefing events. Highlights of the current calendar include our flagship corporate gala which in recent years has been held at the Tate and raised c£1m; the utterly unique Sierra Leone Marathon, now in its 10th year; & the Big Ride for Africa, a 2-day corporate-focussed cycle challenge.

Secondly, you will lead participant recruitment, management and fundraising maximisation across all in-house managed events and third-party challenges, such as the London Marathon and other sporting events, in the UK and globally..

We are constantly looking to innovate and add to our events calendar. A critical additional element to the role will be working with colleagues to imagine new awesome in-house events – and to search for fresh exciting third-party opportunities that will thrill our supporters and give them fantastic platforms for fundraising. 

This role sits within our growing Public Fundraising team but requires close liaison with many teams, in particular corporate fundraising, who will also be driving a lot of the participation.You will task/project manage team colleagues as appropriate, as well as managing at least one junior team member, probably more. 

 We need someone special who brings boundless imagination, energy, and personality – obviously allied with top-drawer organisational abilities and commitment to detail. Street Child is an environment that is not afraid to trust talented, hard-working professionals with big tasks – regardless of their prior levels of experience. So whilst extensive relevant experience would be a fantastic asset, and greatly valued, it is not essential – what is essential are the qualities listed above, underpinned by a massive desire and commitment to build and deliver the very best events and challenge programme possible, resulting in fantastic fundraising and supporter engagement.

Application information can be found on the job description, otherwise to apply, please visit our website where you will find details on how to submit your CV and a compelling covering letter covering letter explaining why you think you could make an extraordinary impact in this role - ideally ASAP. We are ideally seeking to make a quick appointment so are selecting candidates for assessment and interviews on a rolling basis.

An innovator with a record of success who can hit the ground running.

About Us

ADHD UK is a newly founded small, high-growth, mental health charity with big ambitions.  We’re looking for someone to help us evolve and change the futures for people with ADHD. We work under our 5 pillars:-

• Information: We use the internet to enable us to deliver nationwide reaching millions of people at a fraction of the historical cost.  We’ve put a lot of effort into our web site and in 2022 we want to develop it further into the most comprehensive resource on ADHD in the UK.  So we’re constantly researching services for ADHD and creating new pages of helpful information as well as reaching people with Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
• Support: We’re starting 2022 with 8x the number of national online support events that we had a year ago.  We also use Facebook and WhatsApp to provide 24x7 national support groups, our Facebook groups also grew around 8x last year.  Knowing that you are not alone is an enormous comfort to our customers so we will be expanding this further in 2022.
• Research: With a strong customer base we are able to carry out our own research – current programmes include waiting times for ADHD assessments and lived experience of support services for ADHD at work plus benefits for students and unemployed.  In 2022 we plan to start funding third party research including researching the effects of late diagnosis on ADHD people’s lives.
• Advocacy: We work with employers to help them develop neurodiversity-friendly workplaces, both through our Employer Pack and through training and presentations to organisations.  In 2022 we plan to extend the Employer Pack and offer further support and training services for employers and employees, some of which are revenue generators. 
• Awareness: Use of our website grew tenfold last year and we also work with the press, e.g. we recently launched a press panel of people with lived experience of ADHD, resulting in coverage on SKY News in January 2022.  PR is an area we will be growing this year. We are also planning campaigns to drive changes from the top of government for pupils and students.
