Background

Medact supports the health community to work together towards a world in which everyone can truly achieve and exercise their human right to health. We cover some of the most pressing national and global threats to health and wellbeing including climate change; human rights abuses; conflict and violence; and rising inequality. We’re member-led, and our membership spans a range of people who work in health including nurses, doctors, midwives, and clinical researchers.

Climate change is a public health emergency, damaging the health and lives of millions of people around the world.  Many of the communities which are suffering most from the impacts of Covid-19 are also those whose health and wellbeing is hardest hit by environmental damage. 

The Coronavirus pandemic is forcing Governments to rethink national and global economics. As the UK Government moves to develop a recovery package, it’s vital the progressive movement comes together to ensure a socially-just recovery which centres human and planetary health.  Health workers have a uniquely powerful voice, and a strong will to make a difference - there’s an exciting opportunity to bring large numbers of people together to campaign in ways which will have real impact.

Medact believes the health community has a key role to play in driving transformative social change - come work with us to help make that a reality.

About the role

The Climate & Health Campaigner leads Medact’s programme to support health workers to campaign for just and proportionate action on climate change, working closely with our Climate & Health Organiser. In spite of - or perhaps because of - the Coronavirus pandemic, there is huge energy among the health community on climate justice issues. The role includes holding Medact’s key knowledge base on climate justice and health and requires building strong relationships across the health community, from establishment institutions to frontline workers. 

About you

This isn’t an entry-level role, but you don’t need to have had a job in an NGO before or be a professional campaigner to be right for it. You might have worked with your local community or other group to campaign on a climate justice issue you care deeply about.  You’ll be a strategic thinker with a strong understanding of power, and know how to work with others to create pressure for change. You need to be a great communicator, able to build trusting relationships with frontline health workers, academics, partner organisations, and community groups alike - and you’ll have an eye for a good media story and know how to get it out into the world.

The Elfrida Society provides advocacy and support services across Islington and other London boroughs. Our learning disabilities specialist, independent and free services reach parents, families and individuals struggling with particular challenges in their lives.

Advocacy means taking action to help people say what they want, secure their rights, represent their interests and obtain services they need. Advocates and advocacy providers work in partnership with the people they support and take their side. Advocacy promotes social inclusion, equality and social justice.

Non-instructed advocacy takes place when a person lacks the capacity to instruct an advocate.  An individual might be able to express what they want, e.g. to go home, state what they like or dislike, but may lack the capacity to instruct an advocate as to the action to take regarding a particular issue.  The non-instructed advocate seeks to uphold the person’s rights; ensure fair and equal treatment and access to services; and make certain that decisions are taken with due consideration for all relevant factors which must include the person’s unique preferences and perspectives. 

The post holder will work alongside the Parents Advocacy Services team, providing advocacy support to parents with learning disabilities to help them to understand the requirements and responsibilities they need to fulfil in order to meet the rights of their children. Working across a range of life spheres including education, independent living, employment, health, safeguarding, wellbeing, social inclusion, etc.

Advocates will be working with professionals such as social workers, housing teams, schools, solicitors, court staff, specialist service providers, etc.  The aim is to prevent parents from having to face Child Protection or Child in Need situations, but when these situations occur our service provides advocacy support for care proceedings and in court support.

Closing date  12 noon Monday 13th July 2020. 

Interviews will be held on during week commencing 20th July 2020.
