New role, new investment area – new opportunity! 

Hybrid working (2 days office, 3 days WAH as a typical pattern) brings you the best of both worlds!  Please call to discuss other flexibility requests. 

Now's the time for IG to shine. It’s not an area we have invested in before, so there’s lots of scope and potential. 

We’re looking for someone with experience of working across a range of Individual Giving activities, to help shape and bring alive the potential.  Potential that could help us to reach more families facing tough times who really need a holiday.

You’ll be joining a small team of functional specialists (corporate, events, trusts, content).  You will need all the usual fundraisers' traits – a sense of humour, ability to juggle tasks and deadlines to deliver, resilience and tenacity.  The ability to manage a budget (reporting, KPIs, ROI). An understanding of data and how to use it. The ability to tell a story for your audience and build a case for support. 

But you’ll also be able to exercise your creative and innovative side too - we need to develop and deliver campaigns and use media and approaches we haven’t used before for recruitment, and which we are keen to test, trial and scale based on results. 

If you have experience in digital fundraising, creating products, small charity lottery we’d love to hear more.  Also if you have used a range of recruitment approaches for acquisition – what will work for us? 

You might be looking to take your first manager role, or you might be looking for a change in what you do.  Your experience is what matters to us and how you want to bring that to life to help us shape what’s next for Family Holiday Charity.

We’re a small charity, so there’s a lot to do but it’s a fun place to be, with a great team of people who are keen for each other to succeed.  Join us?

More about the charity

We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We're here for children who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, and families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.

Once we find out what each family needs, we take care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.

Working arrangements

We work as a hybrid team, typically spending two days a week in our London office and three at home.  We've kitted out to do this with laptops, an online phone system. Our London home is near Borough tube station - we're in the shared charity building, CAN Mezzanine.  Dangerously close to the delicious lunch options that Borough Market presents! Easily accessible from London Bridge and close to Borough Tube. 

Right now,  we are following government guidance and working at home - we'll review this guidance in the new year and may decide to interview via Zoom or Teams depending on this advice, though ideally would have final interviews face to face.  Let's see. 

Safer recruitment

As part of our commitment to safeguarding the families we’re here to help, we follow safer recruitment practices.  This means we will ask you to share details of any convictions you may have had, and we may ask you to complete other pre-employment checks. You may be required to complete a DBS check (at the charity’s expense).  We also run basic searches on social media and through search engines as part of our checking process.

About Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing and Hounslow Mind

This is an exciting opportunity to join and support a fast growing and dedicated team supporting the wellbeing of communities across West London.

We’re here to make sure that everyone suffering with a mental health problem gets the help they need to recover. We listen, support recovery, fight stigma and work with partners to take action. We provide services for adults, children and young people, signposting for everyone and training and consultancy for employers.

Job Purpose

This role is within our crisis alternative emergency department (ED) service, which is an out of hours service providing a safe and welcoming space for people who present at A&E, feeling distressed and experiencing crisis. The service will work collaboratively with hospital Psychiatric Liaison Team (LPS) to ensure those in crisis are supported by the appropriate team. The service will operate 365 days a year from 5pm-1am across three ED’s in West London.

Staff within the service will triage, assess and provide face-to-face support to anyone who is experiencing mental health crisis. This will be person-centred and will be in various forms of de-escalation support; practical, emotional support, grounding techniques, safety planning, care/action planning etc. Staff within the service will work alongside LPS and escalate if clinical intervention is required. Staff will also actively participate in MDT discussions for frequent attenders and take a key role in initiating and promoting alternative crisis support in the aim of preventing A&E use. Staff in our Safe Space ED service are required to have experience in a mental health clinical setting (such as inpatient, A&E, or other clinical setting) however, they do not need to hold a clinical qualification for this role.

The objectives of the service include:

• To improve the mental wellbeing of people experiencing mental health crisis presenting at ED
• To prevent the use of A&E and EDs where alternative crisis support is appropriate
• To effectively de-escalate mental health crisis in various forms of support
• Collaborative working with LPS and A&E stakeholders to promote preventative measures around early intervention; to identify any unmet social needs that are exacerbating wellbeing and prevent escalation
• Proactively work, and affect change with, a rolling cohort of people, using a truly personalised approach
• Act as a conduit to negotiate and de-escalate issues before a crisis occurs; a situation which has historically led to a destabilisation of their condition and resulting in an attendance or admission
• Empower service users to self-manage, to enable discharge from the project and encourage (where appropriate) unplanned to planned clinical activity
• Form robust networks of services around individual service users to ensure they can access the care and support they need, when they need it, including our community crisis alternative service – Safe Space
• Improve communication and partnership working between those involved in peoples’ care 24/7
• Personalise a plan of support, focusing on strengths and goals, whilst also developing personal crisis plans with the service user
• Advocate for the individual in the creation of any statutory service crisis plans that may be developed, ensuring they are person cantered and reflect the person’s needs
• De-escalate any negative or harmful patterns of behaviour as early as possible to reduce the likelihood of admission/readmission
• Manage relapse
• To reduce the use of police, ambulance and statutory mental health services whilst experiencing crisis
• To reduce the use of statutory crisis services by people experiencing mental ill health without positive outcomes for the individual
• To work hand in hand with our community Safe Space service; ensuring follow ups are arranged with our community Safe Space, creating a wrap around crisis service

The Role

The role of the crisis practitioner will be to work collaboratively with LPS and service users to de-escalate crises in ED. The role will also involve triaging and assessing all clients accessing the service, alongside LPS. The crisis practitioner’s duty will be to de-escalate low/moderate mental health and social needs and deliver collaborative self-management plans with service users to improve mental wellbeing and reduction in A&E attendance. The crisis practitioner will also be responsible for linking in and signposting follow up support with our community Safe Space team. This role does not include clinical intervention.

Post is subject to a DBS check.

We are an equal opportunities employer; and are proud to employ a workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons from all backgrounds.

.About you

Are you a people person? Can you earn people’s trust? Can you help people find the support they need? Are you fully committed to person-centred services? Will you always “go the extra mile” to make sure people find the best possible solution to their needs?

Our purpose

Within a community and primary care setting, we use social prescribing to help people reduce unnecessary NHS appointments and find appropriate community and non-clinical solutions to their needs. Within a hospital setting, we work with clinical staff to ensure that people can leave hospital at the right time and with the support and care they need.

Our mission is to help health and adult care services to work together to reduce unnecessary demands and make sure people receive the best possible services appropriate to their needs.

The role

We are recruiting Hospital & Community Link Workers to work with people who are frail or vulnerable or unwell, people who are in danger of losing their independence, people who are being admitted to hospital, and people who are being discharged from hospital.

Link Workers take time to understand people’s needs, they understand what services are available, and they work with professionals, volunteers, families, and individuals so things link together as they should. 

Working across both hospital and community settings, you will help prevent the need for people to be admitted to hospital, reduce over-reliance on GPs and/or home care providers, reduce social isolation and improve health and wellbeing.

You will work to understand your local community, link people together, and help develop more effective services. When solutions are needed, you will find them.

The job

You will be employed by one of the seven voluntary organisations involved in the partnership: Age UK Hertfordshire, British Red Cross, Carers in Herts, Dacortium, POhWER, Watford & Three Rivers Trust and Watford Community Housing. Other partners may join. 

You will work as part of a locality team led by a Locality Manager.

You must be a driver with access to a vehicle. We can appoint people to work from home, but if your home is outside the locality to which you are attached, we will only pay travel expenses within your locality.

You will need to operate independently, use our case management database and communications systems, understand privacy rules and safeguarding, and work as part of a locality team supported by regular supervision, training and case conferences.

We are recruiting Hospital and Community Link Workers to be based throughout Hertfordshire. The roles are permanent (subject to future funding). The roles are full-time, but we will accept part-time applications and will try to find job-share partners. 

Applicants

Please apply soonest: we will interview candidates as appropriate applications are received. Please apply online stating how you meet the requirements for this post. If you are currently based outside Hertfordshire, please explain how you will relocated or commute if appointed. Shortlisted candidates will receive full details before interview.

• Building and maintaining effective relationships with statutory and non-statutory service providers to increase accessibility to support for residents with complex needs.
