This role offers genuine opportunities for professional development. You'll gain experience in governance, project delivery, stakeholder engagement and service improvement, while developing the skills and confidence to progress within the Faculties team. The role forms part of our development pathway towards a Faculties Development Lead position.

You will join a team that enjoys collaborative working. We create an environment where people are encouraged to contribute ideas, challenge constructively, learn from one another and celebrate success. We are committed to reflective practice and continuous learning, with comprehensive induction, ongoing training and coaching to help you thrive in the role.

There may be an occasional requirement to work outside normal office hours or travel within the UK to support meetings and events.

About You

We are looking for someone with the right attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn. You do not need to meet every requirement to apply. If you are excited by the role and believe you have transferable skills and the potential to succeed, we would love to hear from you.

Ideally, you will have experience of:

• Coordinating projects, committees or operational activities involving multiple senior stakeholders.
• Planning and organising competing priorities with strong attention to detail.
• Building positive relationships with colleagues, volunteers or customers through excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Producing high-quality written communication, reports or meeting documentation.
• Using Microsoft 365 applications, including Teams, SharePoint and Excel.
• Working independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team.
• Acting with professionalism, discretion and sound judgement.

Experience in a professional membership organisation, healthcare, education or a governance environment would be beneficial, but it is not essential. Experience of working in an intercultural context would be a useful advantage.

What matters most is that you are enthusiastic, adaptable and keen to learn. We will provide a full induction, training and ongoing support. We will provide opportunities for reflective practice and professional development, to help you build and develop a rewarding career with the College.

As our team evolves, we are investing in future capabilities such as AI literacy, workflow automation, service design, data visualisation and business analysis. If you are curious about new ways of working and enjoy learning, you will have plenty of opportunities to develop these skills as part of your career with us.

Please note that we do not accept CVs and agencies need not apply.

Often, the first point of contact for our clients at the Southwark Wellbeing Hub is the Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) Team – the IAG Team aim to provide support for residents who may be experiencing social-isolation, low mood, anxiety or depression. The service handles enquiries from people seeking support for a range of issues including welfare benefits, housing and homelessness, advocacy, family support, immigration, disability and legal advice in addition to accessing our in-house one-to-one mental health support offering, workshops/groups, culturally specific counselling, or housing/benefits specialists.

As an IAG Facilitator, your responsibilities include but are not limited to;

• Covering the Helpline
• Monitoring the referral inbox
• Providing clients with information advice and guidance, such as signposting
• Completing referrals to grassroots and statutory organisations
• Attending meetings with the wider team
• Siphoning clients into other areas of the Hub to access our wider range of support

As one of two IAG Facilitators, you’ll support volunteers to ensure that the service is running efficiently. You will be in regular contact with clients both interested in and accessing the service to make sure they have adequate support. This may include referrals and signposting to additional or alternative mental health and social support services.

Applicants should have experience of providing advice in benefits and housing, managing a diverse caseload and providing advocacy, and possess effective communication skills. An ability to work independently but collaboratively, to be proactive and show initiative is essential for this role.

Successful applicants will be expected to undergo an Enhanced Level Disclosure and Barring Service check.

Closing date: Sunday 30th August (11:59pm)

Likely interview date: Week beginning 7th September

We encourage early applications as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we receive a high number of applications.
