Change Grow Live

Director of Integrated Practice

Competitive remuneration package

Location: Nationwide

Be open, be compassionate, be bold

Change Grow Live is a charity, with income of £250 million, over 4,000 staff and 1500 volunteers.

Every year they support more than 200,000 people affected by social and economic deprivation, trauma and abuse, homelessness, offending and alcohol and substance misuse. Because they're not a business, they're not looking to make a profit. This allows them to focus on making sure that everything they do is helping the people who use their services, and the wider public too.

Many of Change Grow Live’s staff have previously used their services. Others started as front-line workers, volunteers or peer mentors (including their Chief Executive).  This is a huge strength. Having that first-hand, frontline experience means Change Grow Live’s staff are in the perfect position to support their service users and their staff on the ground - they've been there, so they get it.

Change Grow Live look at the data and carry out research and analysis to make sure that everything they recommend is not just safe, but also the most effective treatment. They never stop learning and looking for new evidence, either.

Since starting as a small local charity in Sussex in the 1970s, Change Grow Live has grown to offer more than 200 services across the UK annually. Their size gives stability, because there’s a solid infrastructure, systems and processes. It also means they can learn a lot and make continuous improvements by sharing learnings and best practice between all of their services.

We believe in people  

Change Grow Live’s work is informed by a simple principle that experience tells them works: Believe in People. This means they believe in their staff's expertise and judgement and strive to create the conditions for them to do their best work. It means they believe that everyone has the right to pursue their goals and aspirations. And it means they believe that, with the right opportunities and support, anyone can change their life for the better.

The role

Integration is the future of care. The appointee will be the voice of integrated practice for Change Grow Live, connecting with professionals and colleagues across health and social care to ensure frontline teams are always well equipped to support the people that use services.

Whilst this role reports to an Executive Director, the first Director of Integrated practice will develop the psychosocial interventions strategy, growing the psychology and social work offer, to support meeting the diverse needs of service users.

Working collaboratively, you will develop new ways of working and have the opportunity to innovate and turn exciting ideas into real life-changing practice.

The new Director of Integrated Practice will be expected to:

• develop highly effective relationships with other senior leaders in the organisation and with key internal stakeholders (i.e. trustees, the executive, staff, people who use Change Grow Live’s services)
• be a champion of positive change, working with partners and stakeholders to help design, deliver and share approaches that change society for the better
• maintain a high level of dialogue and public relations with stakeholders, partner agencies and commissioning bodies.

This role will be a key driver of a values-based culture which encompasses their philosophy of ‘Believe in People’ and embraces inclusivity, demonstrating the organisation’s values of being open, compassionate and bold. All Change Grow Live’s Directors embody these values and ensure that everything they do ensures the organisation is equipped to make a difference to people’s lives.

You

The successful candidate will develop an understanding of changes and developments across Change Grow Live and identify interconnections and interdependencies with their own area of responsibility. You will stay abreast of cutting-edge developments and best clinical practice, to contribute to the leadership and direction of the organisation.

As the new Director of Integrated Practice you will have:

• demonstrable experience of successful implementation of major operational initiatives and/or transformational change
• evidence of delivering best practice in clinical operational delivery and/or integrated care systems
• experience of charity, health or social care arenas.

Starting Salary: £69,202 - £72,853 pa

Contract: Permanent

We’re looking for a forward-thinking People professional who can deliver strategic leadership in driving our people, culture and change agenda. As an agency of the Church, informed by Catholic Social Teaching, the dignity and sacredness of all people is our starting point. Our mission takes a particular concern for those who experience poverty and are marginalised, oppressed or excluded. This “preferential option for the poor” requires that we recognise how systems, structures and behaviours can work against people and undermine the very dignity that we profess. At the heart of CAFOD’s approach is what Pope Francis calls a “culture of encounter” whereby we seek to restore and strengthen relationships and seek the common good, through dialogue and deep listening, understanding, respect and generosity.

CAFOD has a new strategy, Our Common Home which seeks to make strategic shifts to our ways of working. We have started on this journey, seeking to better enable and support leadership of our partners and this will have an impact on CAFOD’s own role as an international NGO. Our strategy talks about us wanting to “dare to be different” in addressing the causes of injustice, poverty, and environmental destruction. We will continue to mobilise, engage and connect with the Catholic community in England and Wales.

At CAFOD we work towards a vision of a world where every person can flourish and fulfil their potential, and that the earth is protected and cared for.  We work across the world with people, regardless of gender, disability, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, sexual orientation, political or religious belief. We acknowledge and celebrate diversity, and the strength it gives us, as we come together and seek justice for all. Yet we know that there is much to do to address inequalities in an authentic way. CAFOD is a strong values-based organisation and seeks to ensure that all its activity reflects its values of hope, dignity, solidarity and compassion. 

It is an exciting time to join CAFOD. We have a new strategy, an inspiring vision and a commitment to standing alongside those who face discrimination and specifically to be an anti-racist organisation.

Whether it be the impact of COVID on ways of working and well-being or tackling discrimination in the development sector, it is an important and challenging time where CAFOD and its staff and volunteers need to continue to evolve and change in a way that is collaborative and authentic. 

If you are skilled in driving and embedding organisational effectiveness and cultural change then we want to hear from you!
