Health And Wellbeing Jobs
Are you passionate about volunteering and its ability to transform lives and build fairer, healthier communities? Volunteer Centre Tower Hamlets (VCTH) is looking for an outstanding Volunteering Advisor to join our supportive, impactful team.
You will work across two programmes, both of which support Tower Hamlets residents from Global Majority communities into volunteering. Co-delivering our Improving Employability Through Volunteering progamme, you will help unemployed people to secure volunteering placements where they will gain skills, experience and confidence to enhance their job prospects. Leading on our new Health & Wellbeing Champions project, you will work closely with our partner, LBTH Public Health, to recruit and induct local volunteers who will help improve health outcomes in communities experiencing deprivation and health inequalities.
Key responsibilities of the role include:
· promoting volunteering widely; conducting community outreach, running stalls at events, giving targeted presentations online and in person, organising borough-wide Volunteer Fairs, and working with referral agencies
· enrolling volunteers, motivating them to overcome barriers, helping them to secure suitable volunteering placements, and tracking their progress
· working with local Volunteer Involving Organisations to develop and advertise inspiring volunteer roles that meet a wide range of needs, abilities and interests
· booking training venues and refreshments, monitoring training participation, and processing volunteer expenses
· using your analytical and digital skills to monitor progress against agreed targets, evaluate impact, and produce statistics/reports for funders.
This hybrid role is mainly home-based, but with a requirement to undertake regular work at community venues around Tower Hamlets. We are open to discussing how the 4.5 days are worked during office hours.
The ability to speak Bengali/Sylheti would be highly beneficial, as you will be working closely with the Bangladeshi community. Local knowledge of Tower Hamlets and its communities would be an asset, but is not essential. We are very keen to hear from candidates with lived experience relevant to this role, from experienced Volunteer Managers, and from people who are passionate about improving health and employment outcomes for marginalised communities.
Candidates must have the right to work in the UK for 31.5 hours per week until at least 30 November 2027. We regret that we are unable to provide sponsorship.
Deadline for applications is 9.30am on Thursday 30 January 2025.
Interviews are scheduled for Tuesday 11 February 2025.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

CREST is looking for a dynamic and creative individual to work with existing, and new, members of our mental health projects to design and produce a programme of activities, workshops and training opportunities, across the borough. The aim of the programmes being delivered in different venues across the borough is to ensure access is in line with the Borough's "15 minute Neighbourhood" plan and is not a barrier to community engagement.Every effort will be sought to recruit faciitators, with a lived experience of mental illness, either personally or as a carer, and support them to deliver the programme. All the work will have a strong focus on helping to prevent members needing increased access to overstretched primary and secondary care services by adopting a strong person-centred approach.
