Facilitator jobs

Did you know that adults living with serious mental illness (SMI) are five times more likely to die prematurely than those without SMI, with up to 50% of these deaths linked to smoking? People with SMI also face significantly higher risks of respiratory disease, liver disease, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

At Andover Mind, we are passionate about changing this. Our new SMI Health Facilitator roles will play a key part in improving physical health outcomes for people living with SMI by helping them access vital annual health checks and follow-up care.

Location: North & Mid Hants Primary Care Networks (which includes, but not limited to; Andover, Winchester and Basingstoke).

About the Role

As an SMI Health Facilitator, you will:

- Work with GP practices and community mental health teams to identify people on SMI registers who have missed their annual physical health checks.
- Reach out to individuals by phone, in community venues, or via home visits to encourage attendance and explain the importance of the checks.
- Build trusting, non-judgmental relationships to overcome barriers and improve engagement.
- Carry out basic health checks (e.g., blood pressure, height, weight, pulse, and finger-prick tests).
- Support patients to access further services, signposting to Andover Mind’s mental health programs where appropriate.
- Collaborate with peer support workers, social prescribers, and GP staff to create a supportive care pathway.
- Develop and deliver a communication strategy to increase health check uptake across GP practices.
- Maintain accurate records on GP systems in line with GDPR and clinical governance requirements.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Empathetic, confident and compassionate, with a genuine commitment to improving the lives of people with SMI.
   

• A great communicator, confident in having open, supportive conversations with individuals who may be anxious or reluctant to engage.
   

• Organised and proactive, with the ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
   

• Comfortable using digital systems to record information and manage appointments.
   

• Previous experience in community outreach, health facilitation, or mental health support is desirable but not essential – full training will be provided.

Why Join Andover Mind?

At Andover Mind, you’ll be part of a supportive and passionate team making a real difference in your community. You’ll receive:

- Full training, including physical health check skills and use of mobile health equipment (e.g., WhIzan Blue Box).
-Ongoing supervision and professional development opportunities.
- The chance to play a key role in reducing health inequalities for some of the most vulnerable people in society.

As Neighbourhood - Senior Organiser at Pembroke House you will be someone who is highly skilled and experienced at bringing together diverse groups of people to take collective action on local issues.

You’ll have the ability to blend organising and community-building strategies, knowing that we can’t build power without building community and that community is often built through a common cause.

You’ll be excited to bring your organising and facilitation skills to our existing community programmes, including the Walworth Living Room - a new ‘third space’ for the community, as well as playing a crucial role in developing new partnerships and future areas of our work. 

If this job is done well, residents will be growing their skills and capacity to collaborate, groups will be building momentum, and beginning to take action to effect change in the neighbourhood. Pembroke House’s role and approach to supporting neighbourhood change will be further clarified, codified and evidenced. 

Person Specification

You’ll be an energetic person who thrives on making new connections and can inspire others to take action. As an experienced facilitator you will be confident facilitating groups and at ease with designing and adapting formal and informal training sessions appropriate to the context.

Your experience MUST include facilitating groups who don’t already hold a common and agreed set of values. So while academic or activist settings may form a significant part of your experience, it is essential to have worked in a mixed community or neighbourhood setting, where you regularly encountered and brought together a range of contrasting viewpoints, which included views substantially different to your own.

A knowledge of community organising methodology (see for example Act Build Change or Citizen’s UK) is useful, but there may also be other approaches or experiences that you could draw on for this role. You will be curious and keen to learn about the history of community organising and community development at Pembroke House, and keen to build on and contribute to the development of that work. 

Pembroke House

Pembroke House is a centre for social action and residential community in Walworth, South-East London.

We were founded in 1885, by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge, as one of the first settlement houses. Concerned about growing poverty and inequality, the pioneers of the settlement movement sought a new approach: taking up residence to live, work and solve problems alongside local communities. 

For 140 years, we’ve been working to bridge traditional divides and unite people – whatever their background or walk of life – in building a better Walworth.

Responsible to: Director of Partnerships

Location: Pembroke House, 80 Tatum Street, SE171QR, the Walworth Living Room, All Saints Hall, Surrey Square, SE172JU, and surrounding areas in Walworth.

As we are a neighbourhood based organisation we believe it is essential to our work that staff are present in one of our sites in Walworth as much as possible. This role is in person and not suitable for remote or hybrid working.
