Lead this new service in the London Borough of Sutton, helping to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for people with complex lives and unmet need.

Social Prescribing empowers people to take control of their health and wellbeing through referral to non-medical ‘Link Workers’ who give time, focus on ‘what matters to me’ and take a holistic approach, connecting people to community groups and statutory services for practical and emotional support. Link Workers support existing groups to be accessible and sustainable and provide feedback to groups and strategic partners to enable development, working collaboratively with all local partners.

Social Prescribing can help to strengthen community resilience and personal resilience and reduce health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity, by increasing people’s active involvement with their local communities. It particularly works for people with long-term conditions (including support for mental health), for people who are lonely or isolated, or have complex social needs which affect their wellbeing.

Age UK Sutton is the commissioned provider for Social Prescribing Sutton, for an all-age service working as part of a specialist multidisciplinary team including GPs and nurses supporting those with complex needs.  The Head of Social Prescribing Sutton will be managing a team of six Link Workers who focus on providing support for patients’ non-medical needs.  These needs are often complex, and many patients referred to the service are frequent visitors to primary care, in particular their GP. The service is for adults over the age of 18 whose needs meet referral criteria.  The Head of Service and the Link Workers will be employed by Age UK Sutton as the contract holder but expected to develop strong relationships with a wide range of local providers whose services could benefit patients referred for support, who may be of any age.

As Head of Service, you will line manage the Link Workers, and assume leadership of the service, working closely with partners in Health and Care and the Voluntary Sector to promote and develop the service, producing regular monitoring and insight reports, and working with the Director of Services and Social Prescribing Sutton Steering Group to review and develop the strategic direction of the service.  This is a new role with significant opportunities for personal development as the service evolves.

To apply, please submit a CV and supporting statement detailing how you meet the attributes described in the person specification.

For an informal discussion about the role before applying, please contact Age UK Sutton's Director of Services, Hilary Dodd 

Please note that CVs not accompanied by a supporting statement will not be considered

Are you a leader working in campaigns who wants to change the world? Are you passionate about social justice and feminism? We are looking for a creative and highly collaborative individual to lead the Women in Prison Campaigns and Public Affairs team. You will be taking us to the next level of influence, creating powerful platforms for women with experience of the criminal justice system to lead change and strengthen the women's centre movement.

US: Hi, we’re Possible – we bring people together to create bold, beautiful solutions in response to the climate crisis. Whether that’s connecting the world’s first solar railway, mining renewable heat from underneath London’s parks, leading calls for a televised climate debate or launching a ground-breaking employer scheme to incentivise clean holiday travel - we’re always thinking of new ways to cut carbon that involve and benefit the public. 

YOU: Are you someone with a passion for tackling climate change in a way that gets everyone involved? Are you a creative thinker with a positive, practical attitude able to turn ideas into reality? Do you get fired up by working with communities to breathe life into innovative climate solutions that improve lives today? Does solving difficult problems float your boat? If so, we should talk.

The world’s recent social and political awakening to the climate crisis has been overtaken by the much more immediate crisis of the pandemic, but in the background the climate emergency continues to demand urgent action. In this turbulent and challenging time, Possible’s work on inspiring climate solutions that everyone can contribute to is needed more than ever. Transport is a key area where the UK has veered a long way off track, with carbon emissions actually rising in recent years instead of falling. But with travel patterns turned on their heads by lockdown, new futures are now becoming visible where the car is no longer king.

Possible have secured funding for a major new campaign to reduce private car dominance in cities, showing how achieving the big reductions in motor traffic needed to meet climate change targets will also dramatically improve health outcomes and quality of life for people living in cities. The ‘new normal’ post-covid cannot be one where people shun public transport for private cars, or our climate goals will be impossible to meet. 

We need a senior campaign manager to lead the team delivering this landmark programme to kickstart the process of making private cars obsolete in our cities - accelerating the move to a zero carbon Britain built by and for everyone. We need an experienced leader who knows how to support local community changemakers as well as working with city authorities and local political leaders, leveraging bottom-up grassroots activism to drive city-wide transformation. Our ideal candidate will have a proven track record in campaigning and experience of successfully leading a team, including project management oversight and multiple line management responsibilities.

+ About the role

You’ll be a senior member of the campaigns team, working closely with and reporting to the directors, with responsibility for delivering Possible’s Car Free Cities projects for a minimum two year period starting in July 2020. You will be based in Possible’s London office in Camden Town (pandemic permitting), on either a full time or 0.9FTE basis, depending on preference. With the directors’ support, you will be managing annual budgets of hundreds of thousands of pounds and a team of up to six staff, some working remotely from other cities, alongside key relationships with academic partners and overseas consortium members in Paris and New York. 

You’ll work collaboratively with the communications team to spread our key messages far and wide, and leverage the greatest impact possible in our target communities and beyond. You’ll also work closely with the rest of Possible’s senior management team to cultivate and maintain a positive and supportive working culture amongst the whole workforce as well as within your own team. You’ll also work across the campaigns, fundraising and comms teams to develop the most effective mobilisations techniques, building capacity in our supporters to escalate action and bring their communities with them.

Working within strategy and project plans that have been collaboratively developed, you’ll be free to put forward your own ideas for campaign activities, particularly in response to changing events. You’ll be adaptable to overseeing delivery of different tactics based on need, from online petitions to research and report publication, lobbying of city administrations and politicians, grassroots community organising, pioneering innovation and publicity grabbing interventions.

As a key member of the Possible family you’ll be part of a small, passionate, nimble, unique and positive organisation that cares about its people, its projects and, ultimately, the planet.

+ About Possible

Here at Possible, we have a vision for a low carbon Britain that has been built by and belongs to everybody.

To get there, we dream up projects, build tools and spread success stories to make sure everyone has the help and inspiration they need to play a role in tackling climate change. Our work cuts carbon, but because we work on cultural as well as technical levels, we get people talking about climate change action too. We want our projects to be infectious, so it is always about more than just a solar panel here, or an LED there - it’s about groups of people working together to change the world.

+ Our Values

Inclusivity  Trust and respect   Creativity   Shared ambition

Positivity  Caring and kindness  Integrity  Openness

Not just buzzwords to make us feel warm and fuzzy, these are the values we are guided by in our actions and our organisational culture. Away days help to keep these values alive and we work together to keep our team as supported, empowered and cared for as possible. We’re run by a team of directors rather than one single CEO, and we’re committed to reducing hierarchy wherever possible.

Workplace benefits include:

• 25 days paid holiday (+ bank holidays and three days at Christmas)

• Flexible working

• Paid volunteer leave

• Bike to work scheme

• Paid journey days for low carbon holiday travel 

• Childcare vouchers

We are supported by more than 460 volunteers who provide specialist skills such as art therapy yoga, IT, gardening, cooking as well as befriending and fundraising.

We are proud to be the home of UK SAYS NO MORE, bringing together a diverse coalition of individuals, charities, businesses and public-sector organisations to campaign for an end to the domestic abuse and sexual violence.
