We exist to change the odds stacked against Black people by embedding race equity into systemic change so that thriving is not the exception but the norm.
About Black Thrive
Black Thrive Global evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016 to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people in Lambeth. Black people’s cumulative exposure to negative experiences and poor outcomes are not unique to Lambeth and Black Thrive Global was founded in 2020 to address the detrimental outcomes for Black people of African and Caribbean descent wherever they may be located.
Our work covers all life stages – children and young people, working age adults and older adults. Our guiding principle is to centre the lived experiences of Black communities in all that we do and our strategic priorities are to embed race equity in systems change and to decolonise the evidence landscape.
Purpose of the role
We are working with Lottery Community Fund, Impact On Urban Health and Lambeth Living Well Network Alliance (LWNA) to build a Black led culturally appropriate peer support and advocacy (CAPSA) service, designed by Black people for Black communities in Lambeth. CAPSA supports people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or are experiencing difficulties in accessing services that will improve their mental wellbeing. It will be made up of compassionate and caring individuals like you. We will also help community members who are already using mental health services and would like more support.
Do you have the vision, expertise and person-centred values to be able to make a real difference to the lives of people with mental health support needs? The service manager will be responsible for the smooth running and delivery of the CAPSA service. As Service Manager, you will lead a team of workers in achieving these goals through line management, coaching, supervision and mentoring.
Closing date - 6th October at 5pm
Interviews on - 14th and 15th October
Application Instructions: Please upload a CV of no more than 3 pages, alongside a cover letter of no more than 2 pages. Candidates should also complete and upload a copy of our equality and diversity monitoring form.
