As someone who defines themselves as disabled, you will be providing peer support to disabled people with a range of disabilities to enable them, using a direct payment, to have more choice and control over their care and support needs.

Disability Action Haringey is in the early stages of development; we have recently appointed our first Chief Executive Officer, secured Charity registration and will be operating as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. As a user-led, pan-disability Deaf and Disabled Peoples Organisation delivering services, the Trustees are passionate in ensuring Haringey becomes a more inclusive borough where disabled people are seen for their valuable contribution to society and where disabled people have the same lifetime opportunities as non-disabled people.

About the role:

This is a new role in a newly formed organisation. As an Independent Living Adviser, you will be expected to:

• Provide peer support and training to individuals and their family and friends (where appropriate) to provide them with information, advice and assistance to enable them to access and manage a direct payment.
• The post-holder will also lead on engaging with stakeholders and the wider members of the community to create a culture of embedding the Social Model of Disability in everyday life, thereby removing barriers faced by disabled people.

This is an exciting opportunity to provide disabled people with choice, control and independence in their life.

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. 

We are committed to cultivating a fair and healthy environment, where everyone can be themselves and thrive. We are happy to discuss flexible working options for all roles. We work to ensure that our recruitment processes are as inclusive as possible to everyone. This includes making adjustments for people who have a disability or long-term condition. If you need us to make adjustments during the application process, please let us know.

Purpose of the role

The purpose of this role is to support Black Thrive’s employment strand of work, which is key to promoting wellbeing and preventing ill health as well as to supporting recovery from ill health or slowing progression from one-to-many health conditions.

The role supports the effective delivery of the employment project, funded by Guys and St Thomas’ Charity GSTC. The role has a wide span of responsibility ranging from community engagement and research to administration and facilitation.

How to apply

Please provide:

• a copy of your CV (no more than 2 pages)
• a one-page cover letter explaining why you are suitable for the role based on our person specification
• a copy of our Equality and Diversity monitoring form

Deadline to apply is 30th April 2021. Interviews to be held on Zoom.

Are you interested in supporting people who have, or are recovering from, mental health challenges; experiencing barriers affecting their ability to move towards, or stay in, paid employment?
