The Good Company Relationship Manager / Concierge Lead provides a highly personalised, proactive, relationship-driven service that empowers older adults - many affected by dementia and social isolation - and their carers to live healthier, happier lives in their homes and communities

This role is central to our mission: reaching people early and co-creating Good Company around their needs, interests, and aspirations. 

About You

• Able to drive and access to a vehicle to travel to meet members across Wadhurst, Crowborough, and Forest Row

We are in the final year of prototyping with the ambition to scale Good Company nationally.

 Our Context

The Good Company People is reimagining support for people living with dementia and those who care for them. We believe everyone deserves to live with connection, dignity, and purpose - whether they are pre-diagnosis, post-diagnosis, isolated, bereaved, or caring for someone they love.

Our model is person-first. We build relationships, not referrals. We find out what people want more of - continuing hobbies, meeting peers, or simply knowing someone is there to support them to take the next step.

Behind the scenes, we’re also innovating. We’re building a decentralised ‘know-how’ system - real-world tips, rights, local hacks, and lived wisdom - shared by those who’ve been there.

We’re changing the climate of dementia care: from medicalised and prescriptive to relational, preventative, and empowering.

Our Approach

This role isn’t about ‘fixing’ people. It’s about walking alongside them, unlocking opportunities, and making everyday life better. It’s about human connection, trust, and helping people reclaim a sense of agency.

• Access local activities to improve physical health and mobility
• Introductions to other members facing similar situations
• Navigate the health and social care system with confidence
• Access practical dementia advice and support
• Take regular breaks to reduce the stress and burden of caring
• Support to access financial and legal guidance

Your daily role can include:

• Developing deep member insights by conducting member ‘discoveries’ to learn life stories, hobbies, health and communication needs and understand what they want more
• Listening to members’ needs, providing emotional support and helping members build resilience.
• Facilitating and hosting monthly Transition Circles which are peer group sessions for carers experiencing similar situations
• Leading on member wellbeing at Good Company Clubs.
• Through gathering insights help develop and share actionable advice and practical tips through our website and the Good Company Hub
• Working with, training, and supporting a team of Concierge volunteers to provide support, information, and good company at the Good Company Hub on the high street
• Building partnerships with local organisations —social, sports, and voluntary—to introduce members to meaningful opportunities
• Representing Good Company at community and sector events

Safeguarding & Compliance

• Follow TGCP safeguarding, health & safety, and operational policies
• Promote a safe, inclusive, and respectful culture

What You’ll Need

• Outstanding interpersonal and listening skills
• Empathy, compassion, and caring
• Adaptability and a can-do mindset to thrive in a fast moving organisation
• Creativity and resourcefulness in problem-solving
• Community-mindedness and network-building skills
• Resilience and patience
• Strong verbal and written communication

IKWRO –Women’s Rights Organisation (IKWRO) is an award-winning charity founded (as the Iranian and Kurdish Women’s Rights Organisation) in 2002. As testament to its’ success and in response to huge need, IKWRO has expanded and now provides unique and vital support for women and girls from all Middle Eastern, North African and Afghan (MENA) communities who are at risk of “honour” based violence, child marriage, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, domestic violence, sexual violence and other forms of gender violence.  

IKWRO provides direct services including advocacy and professional counselling. IKWRO opened the UK’s first specialist Middle Eastern women’s refuge. IKWRO is regularly called upon to share expertise with government, academics, and media and to train professionals from bodies such as the police, social services and schools.  

IKWRO has led the recognition of “honour” based abuse and “honour” killing as forms of violence against women and girls. Campaign successes include; the first extradition from Kurdistan-Iraq to the UK of perpetrators of “honour” killing of Banaz Mahmod, the UK’s criminalisation of forced marriage, child marriage, virginity testing and hymenoplasty, as well as the first ever national inspection of policing of “honour” based violence. 

This is an exciting time to join IKWRO with the opportunity to help shape and implement the organisations’ new campaigns and communications strategies.  

The Campaign and Communications Manager will work under the direction of the Executive Director of IKWRO and will be responsible for drafting and implementing IKWRO’s new campaign and communications strategy to achieve positive systemic legal and policy change, informed by the experiences of the women and girls that IKWRO represents. The role involves lobbying, research, media and communications, networking, events management, engaging with the wider team and the women and girls IKWRO represents to ensure their voices are heard and maintaining and strengthening IKWRO’s leadership in the field. The Campaign and Communications Manager will be both an excellent team player and also have the ability to work independently and manage volunteers.  

The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) is the world’s largest alliance of national societies of obstetrics and gynaecology, bringing together professionals from more than 139 countries and territories. For over 70 years, FIGO has collaborated with the world’s top health, rights, and donor bodies. We are in official relations with the World Health Organization and consultative status with the United Nations.

FIGO is dedicated to the improvement of the health and rights of women and girls and to the reduction of disparities in health care, as well as to advancing the science and practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. We pursue our mission through education, research implementation, advocacy, and capacity building with our member societies.

The FIGO Fistula Surgery Training Initiative (FSTI) project has been in existence for 10 years and in that time has become recognised as a key global project, instrumental in delivering capacity building and improved healthcare outcomes for women, with an emphasis on the global south. After 10 years the senior project manager has stepped down and FIGO are seeking to use this as an opportunity to review the project delivery model.

The Interim Senior Project Manager role will lead the FIGO Fistula Project on an interim basis and be responsible for the ongoing delivery of the project during that period. In addition, they will be expected to review the project delivery model, ensuring that the project aligns to best practice and delivers in the most effective and efficient manner possible for the future, whilst ensuring agreed project outcomes.

Epic at a Glance:

At Epic, we strive to build a world where children and youth - no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation or place of birth - have access to a future full of promise and opportunity. We are a global foundation backing groundbreaking non-profits around the world - the changemakers and innovators that are transforming the lives of children and youth and protecting our planet for generations to come. 

Groundbreaking charities often struggle to secure smart money to drive impact. Donors want to give more, but are held back because they lack trust, time, and knowledge. Epic bridges the gap between the social entrepreneurs forging solutions to today’s pressing challenges, and the individuals and businesses who want to pool their resources to drive positive change. We curate and monitor highly-vetted portfolios of organisations that we back in order to foster lasting change. We operate strictly on a pro bono basis: 100% of donations received go directly to the organizations in our portfolio. 

Now in our 10th year, we have mobilised over $91 million and supported 57 organizations in 11 countries across 4 continents, since 2015. In the UK, we raise between US$2-2.5 million annually, and there is potential and aspiration to grow this to US$3 million by the end of 2027.
