Join a Values-Led Charity Making a Difference

The Frank Parkinson Yorkshire Trust is a long-established almshouse charity providing high-quality independent living accommodation for older people in Guiseley. Home to 44 residents, our attractive and well-maintained site offers more than housing – it provides a safe, supportive community where people can live independently with dignity and confidence.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate Housing Officer to join our small, dedicated team. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a varied and rewarding role, combining housing management, resident engagement, estate management, and community development.

About the Role

Reporting to the Head of Operations, you will lead the day-to-day housing management and estate services across our site. You will build positive relationships with residents, support their wellbeing and independence, ensure homes and communal areas are safe and well managed, and help create a vibrant community environment.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working closely with people, takes pride in delivering excellent services, and can balance resident support with professional housing management responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

· Manage housing applications, allocations, viewings, sign-ups, and empty homes.

· Carry out regular resident visits to support wellbeing, independence, and tenancy sustainability.

· Lead day-to-day estate management activities and property inspections.

· Monitor repairs, contractors, and compliance activities to ensure high standards are maintained.

· Respond effectively to resident enquiries, concerns, complaints, and safeguarding matters.

· Maintain accurate records and support housing, health and safety, and compliance requirements.

· Organise resident events, engagement activities, and community initiatives.

· Build positive relationships with residents, families, contractors, local organisations, and partner agencies.

· Contribute to service improvements and support reporting for senior management and Trustees.

· Provide occasional support outside normal working hours in emergency situations, with time off in lieu provided.

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking someone who:

· Has experience in housing, property, community, support, or customer-focused services.

· Enjoys working directly with older people and supporting independent living.

· Has excellent communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills.

· Can work independently while contributing positively to a small team.

· Demonstrates empathy, professionalism, and sound judgement.

· Is confident managing competing priorities and maintaining accurate records.

· Understands the importance of safeguarding, health and safety, and resident wellbeing.

Why Join Us?

At The Frank Parkinson Yorkshire Trust, you’ll be part of a small organisation where your contribution is visible, valued, and genuinely makes a difference.

We're looking for an experienced and motivated fundraiser to build on our strong foundations, develop new opportunities, and help ensure that The Gatehouse can continue providing life-changing support to adults experiencing homelessness, poverty and exclusion. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until a successful appointment is made.

This is a particularly exciting moment for Bath Cats and Dogs Home. We’ll soon be merging with a neighbouring animal charity. Together, we’ll be stronger and more sustainable, working across a large area that stretches from west Wiltshire to the Bristol Channel, and doubling the size of the population we serve.

This new chapter will significantly expand our reach, increase our impact for local animals, and strengthen the support we can provide to pet owners across our communities. As part of this transformation, fundraising will play a critical role - making this a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to shape meaningful growth and help deliver ambitious plans for animal welfare.

You’ll lead on developing and securing income from charitable trusts and foundations, managing existing relationships while identifying and cultivating new opportunities. Working closely with the Head of Fundraising and Retail and colleagues across the organisation, you’ll create compelling funding proposals, build strong funder relationships, and help bring innovative projects to life.

About Age UK Lambeth

We support older people in Lambeth to live enriched, productive and purposeful lives: challenging the stigma of ageing, reducing social isolation and ensuring they get the right support at the right time. We are kind, person-centred and outcome-focused - finding solutions that work by listening, being flexible and including older people in delivering services. 

What you’ll be doing? 

You will be part of the MYcommunity Linkworkers team. You’ll be responsible for:

• Provide personalised brief intervention and social prescribing support to individuals, their families and carers.

• Meet clients on a one-to-one basis, making home visits where appropriate and allowing clients the time and space to discuss ‘what matters to me’.

• Provide person-centred support to enable clients to identify their health and wellbeing needs and goals. Co-produce support plans with clients to discuss what’s important, where they would like to be in the future and how we can support them to achieve this. 

• Manage and prioritise a caseload to ensure clients' needs, priorities and urgent support are met.

• MYcommunity Lambeth works in partnership with a large number of statutory and community services and organisations across the borough. You will link clients with appropriate services to meet their needs. It is vital to have a strong understanding of when it is necessary to refer someone back to health care professionals/ agencies when the client’s needs are beyond the scope of the MYcommunity team.

What you need to bring

Essential criteria:

• Previous social prescribing experience.

• Able to write compelling communications to advocate for your clients. 

• Able to work collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders.

• Able to analyse data and create engaging reports.

Desirable criteria:

• Previous experience working in/or in partnership with the NHS.

What you’ll benefit from

• Generous pension provision - 7% employer contribution

• 26 days holiday a year rising to 31 days after 5 years

• A great staff culture with kindness at its heart

Casework is at the heart of everything Medical Justice does. We assist vulnerable people in immigration detention to access medical evidence. The evidence we produce forms the basis of our advocacy work to secure lasting change, including our research into the systemic failures in safeguarding and healthcare provision, the harm caused by these shortcomings, and the harmful effect of immigration detention itself on the health of those who are subjected to it.

As a Caseworker you will have your own caseload and be working directly with people in immigration detention, many of whom may be very unwell, traumatised and experiencing deterioration in their health. You will coordinate with our clinicians and, if clients have legal representation, their lawyers, to organise medical assessments. You will maintain communication with your clients throughout this process, acting as a key point of contact.

We are looking for an experienced caseworker, who can use their compassion and organisational skills to support clients in extremely vulnerable situations. We are looking for someone who has experience dealing with clients in crisis situations, who is resilient and able to manage complex, often traumatic, caseloads in a professional and empathetic way. You will play a key role in striving to ensure clients receive access to adequate healthcare and that they obtain high-quality independent medical evidence to progress their legal cases. As well as working as part of a small, dedicated team of caseworkers dealing with around 500 referrals a year.

Location: North London, the role is hybrid with 3 days based in the office each week following the successful completion of probation and training period.

Reports to: Head of Clinical Evidence & Casework

Salary: £33,000 per year

Contract:  Permanent, 37.5 hours per week

About Medical Justice:

Medical Justice works to uphold the health and associated legal rights of people in immigration detention and provides medical evidence, so the devastating health harms of detention are understood and acted on. Our paid and volunteer clinicians visit people held in immigration detention, document scars of torture, assess deterioration in health, and challenge medical mistreatment. We use medical evidence to secure lasting change through research, policy work, and strategic litigation. We work with parliamentarians and the media.

Today, our work spans health and care, employment, housing and community wellbeing. Through partnerships, research, training and policy influence, we continue to demonstrate what meaningful anti-racist systems change can look like in practice.
