We have some flexibility on hours for the right candidate.

Hours: 28 hours per week

Contract: 12 months with potential for extension

Please note shortlisting and interviews will be held as suitable candidates apply and we

Context and Background

Richmond AID and Citizen Advice Richmond (CAR), successfully applied for funds for a new project to deliver a targeted advice provision and support for families in crises in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Many of these families have been disproportionately impacted by Covid.

The project is funded by Richmond Parish Lands Charity and Hampton Fund for one year initially, but may be extended. The project will fund one specialist adviser (4 days per week) in each organisation that will provide in-depth case work for people, mainly families in crises, often implementing multiple interventions and leveraging a range of support. The main areas of need that have been identified are benefits, housing, domestic violence, safeguarding, immigration, debt and money problems. Advisers will provide support by attending case conferences and MARAC meetings where needed.

You will work closely with our busy and established advice, benefits advice and money advice teams and will have the capacity to work with a smaller number of clients in a more comprehensive way. Clients on this project are likely to have a range of complex issues where they will need support over a long period of time.

The project will play a role in gathering information re future advice needs of these hard to reach communities, influencing future delivery.

Location: Richmond AID is based in Teddington in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. We may require some home working at present. Our offices are open and we see clients face to face but we are still following social distance guidance and therefore have a rota system in place. The postholder must be able to commute to the office as required and be able to see clients face to face either by home visits, by attending outreach or appointments at our offices. 

Thank you for considering a Team Leader role with Redthread. We are a team of compassionate, collaborative, and courageous professionals, committed to empowering young people to change their lives. 

As a Team Leader primarily based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, you will enable the team to support young people who are experiencing trauma or tragedy and their families and hold a caseload yourself.

To succeed in this role, you need to be a strong leader who advocates for a trauma-informed approach for the team and for the young people we support. You’ll have extensive experience working with young people who are vulnerable and high risk, an understanding of the impact intense, short-term work can have, and a good understanding of the support ecosystem they need. You need to be a people person, able to build and maintain relationships with colleagues and partners and to be a nurturing line manager to a small team working in a busy hospital environment. 

You must also be a skilled communicator: as comfortable building a relationship with a young person as you are liaising with our clinical colleagues. You’ll be keen to keep learning, seizing training opportunities at Redthread and continuously reflecting upon and improving your practice.

During the Covid-19 outbreak, our teams are still working from the hospitals as we are classed as essential workers. You will need to do shifts at the hospital, as well as working some days from home, depending on the needs of the team and the service. 

In return, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a supportive and flexible working environment, excellent staff training and development package and access to a range of employee benefits including; enhanced annual leave and family leave entitlements, employer pension scheme contribution, access to clinical supervisions, enhanced employee assistance programme services and more.

Please see the job pack attached and on our website for full details of the role and how to apply. 

Applications deadline: 9am, Monday 1st November

Please Note: If we receive a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the advert before the closing date. Therefore, early applications are encouraged.

Who are Redthread?

Redthread empowers young people to thrive as they navigate the challenging transition to adulthood by integrating trauma-informed youth work into the health sector. Whether a young person has been the victim of a stabbing, is seeking support for anxiety, has suffered a sexual assault, or wants to find a new home beyond the reach of a gang, we support them to overcome the challenges they face through our dynamic youth work programmes.

Every year thousands of young people find themselves in hospital A&E departments as the victim of serious youth violence. Redthread’s Youth Violence Intervention Programme embeds youth workers in hospitals to intervene with these young people. The teams meet the young patients as soon as they can: in the A&E waiting room, on the ward, or even in the resuscitation bay. We believe that this moment of intense crisis when the young person is nursing a serious injury in the daunting environment of a busy hospital, often alone, can be a catalyst for pursuing positive change – a ‘teachable moment’.

Our teams build rapport with the young people, mentor and advise them, and support them to make long-term positive plans to break away from cycles of violence and offending. Problems include exclusion from education, employment or training, a lack of stability in housing, mental health concerns, unstable relationships, and reprimands due to criminal activity. Redthread capitalises on our partnerships to ensure long-term work and change is possible for each young person. The teams make well-judged referrals on their behalf and accompany them to initial meetings to ensure the transition is smooth. This work disrupts the cycle that can too easily lead to devastated communities and an exhausted healthcare and justice system.

Team Lead Insight and Evidence

Remote working

Full-time, 35 hours per week

The Team Lead will manage and lead our Insight and Evidence team. You will develop and deliver a strategy to ensure RNID is an insight led and impact focused organisation.

The Team Lead Insight and Evidence will also lead the research capability to ensure we: capture insight from people who are deaf, have a hearing loss or tinnitus; generate evidence of the impact our work is having on people’s lives; and operate biomedical research funding schemes and influence the research community. 

With sustained experience in a relevant field of research or experience of patient and public involvement (PPI) gained within a health, social policy or medical research setting, you will also have demonstrable evidence of having developed and delivered research material to support campaigns, policy, setting research priorities or service development.

You will also be able to provide strategic insight on a large number of key issues for RNID.

It is vital that we are insight and evidence-led in everything we do to ensure we make the biggest impact to the lives of the 1 in 5 people in the UK who are deaf or have hearing loss and the 1 in 8 with tinnitus.

Communication is a basic human need. Yet most of us know someone who struggles to communicate through hearing loss. It can cause substantial harm to friendships, family relationships, confidence, employability, mental health and life chances.

The RNID (formerly Action on Hearing Loss) is the UK’s largest charity for the 11 million people in the UK who confront deafness, tinnitus and hearing loss every day. Established in 1911, we help people to take control of their lives and live the life they choose, removing the barriers standing in their way. We give people support and care, develop technology and treatments, and campaign for equality. 

We champion the value of difference and equality and celebrate our diverse and inclusive workforce. We actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from BAME backgrounds or who are deaf or hard of hearing. With almost 20% of our employees having a disability we proudly hold Disability Confident Leader status and guarantee an interview for disabled applicants meeting the minimum essential criteria.

Closing date: 22 October 2021.
