Jobs in Longfield

At Dandelion Time, we support children facing significant emotional challenges, often, but not always, rooted in adverse childhood experiences such as domestic violence, abuse, or neglect. Our systemic, trauma‑informed approach focuses on the whole family, helping them build healthier relationships, create positive change, and move towards brighter futures.

Nature is at the heart of everything we do. Through hands‑on activities in the natural world, children and families connect with the earth, plants, animals and with each other.

About the Role 

You will play a key role in delivering our therapeutic programme. Reporting to the Therapeutic Programme Manager and supporting the Family Caseworker, you will help plan, prepare and facilitate meaningful therapeutic sessions for children and their families. This may include leading group sessions supported by Teaching Assistants or collaborating with teaching staff involved in each child’s care.

Why Join Us?

You’ll be part of a welcoming, energetic and committed team making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children. The work is deeply rewarding, offering the opportunity to help families rebuild relationships and create new beginnings.

What can you bring to Dandelion Time?

To thrive in this role, you will have experience supporting disadvantaged children or those with SEND.  It would be helpful, but not essential, to have an understanding of the challenges faced by parents and carers managing their own wellbeing. Experience as a Youth Leader, Scout Leader, Forest School Leader, or in a similar child‑centred, outdoor or community role, will be a real asset.

You’ll have a genuine passion for hands‑on, creative activities, whether that’s crafting, working with the land, or caring for animals. An interest in our land‑to‑table ethos, including the preparation and cooking of healthy, nutritious food, will help you feel right at home.

Above all, you’ll bring a warm, joyful presence to the families you support, helping to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow, explore and flourish.

Temporary contract

This is a temporary position for 10 months, ideally commencing in early September and continuing until the end of the school year (July 2027). However, our priority is to appoint the right candidate, and we would be willing to offer some flexibility on the start date to accommodate this.

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis is the UK’s leading patient charity for people affected by pulmonary fibrosis. We fund research, campaign for improved care, and provide vital support and information to people living with the condition and those who care about them.

We are looking for a Trusts, Foundations and Grants Manager to help grow our income from trusts, foundations, statutory bodies and other grant-making organisations. This is an important role in our Fundraising team, helping to secure the funding we need to expand support services, accelerate research, influence policy and improve care.

You will manage a portfolio of prospects and funders, develop compelling funding applications and reports, build strong relationships, and work closely with colleagues across APF to gather evidence, budgets, impact data and lived experience stories.

We are looking for someone with experience of developing successful funding applications, excellent written communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines. You will be proactive, collaborative and motivated by improving the lives of people affected by pulmonary fibrosis.

To apply, please send a CV and covering letter via Charity Job, maximum two pages, by 8th July 2026.

• Using that evidence and insight to challenge and improve existing policy and practice, develop new approaches and increase everyone's knowledge and confidence to more effectively tackle the issue.

This role is home-based with regular travel required, usually to London.

About Global Health Partnerships
Global Health Partnerships is a UK-registered charity with nearly four decades of experience connecting NHS institutions, diaspora health workers, Royal Colleges, and government partners with counterparts across Africa, Asia, and beyond. We strengthen health systems, build the evidence base for UK investment in global health, and work at the interface of domestic and international health policy. Our network includes 256 confirmed MCH health workers across 32 institutions, established relationships with RCOG, RCM, RCN, and NHS England, and a track record of supporting the APPG on Global Health and Security. We are a trusted, non-partisan intermediary between UK clinical communities and policymakers.

Why this is an exceptional opportunity
This is a rare and timely role for a senior external affairs and communications professional who wants to make a direct, measurable difference to global health. You will be joining Global Health Partnerships at a pivotal moment, as we launch an ambitious advocacy programme, with the backing of a major foundation and a network of frontline NHS clinicians and health institutions.  
 

This is not a general communications role. It is a specialist advocacy and policy influence position, focused on translating evidence and health worker experience into parliamentary and media impact. If you want to shape how UK politicians and the public think about global health and see that shift lead to real changes in funding and policy, this is the role for you.

Job purpose
Reporting to the Deputy Chief Executive, you will lead GHP’s external affairs and communications function across the full range of the organisation’s strategic priorities. This includes designing and executing GHP’s advocacy strategy for priority programmes — with the Every Mother, Everywhere MCH programme as the flagship — while also building GHP’s broader profile as the leading UK voice on NHS institutional partnerships, health workforce policy, and the mutual benefit case for UK investment in global health. You will manage GHP’s relationships with key stakeholders in parliament, government, and the media, and ensure that GHP’s full portfolio of work is visible, compelling, and connected to the policy arguments that matter most to funders and decision-makers.
 

You will oversee GHP’s secretariat relationship with the APPG on Global Health and Security, develop and support networks of health worker and diaspora advocates, lead media and parliamentary engagement, and coordinate a coalition of civil society, clinical, and community organisations around shared advocacy priorities. With the communications team, you will also work closely with the fundraising and programmes teams to ensure GHP’s communications and public profile actively support income diversification and donor engagement across institutional, trust, and corporate funding streams.
 

While the immediate priority is our Maternal and Child Health Advocacy programme and its parliamentary and media objectives, this role carries wider organisational responsibility for GHP’s positioning, reputation, and voice in public discourse on global health. The postholder will line manage the Communications Manager and be accountable for the coherence of GHP’s external communications across all channels and programmes. 
 

For full details on the role, including the Person Specification please look at our job pack.

What we offer:

As well as your salary which is paid monthly, you'll also get:

• Flexible and hybrid working
• 25 days annual leave plus three days off between Christmas and New Year
• Annual learning and development allowance
• Employee Assistance Programme
• 5% employer pension contribution when an employee contributes 3%

How to apply: 
 

Please apply with a CV and a covering letter of no more than two pages by 10th July 2026.
 

Your covering letter should address the following: why you are interested in this role at this moment; how your experience of external affairs is relevant to GHP’s organisational priorities; what you understand to be the strongest argument for UK investment in global health and how you would build political and public support for it. 
 

GHP is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in our recruitment. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the communities and health systems our work engages with.

• 24 hours per week (part time)

Rape Crisis England & Wales (RCEW) is the national campaigns and membership body for a network of independent, community-based Rape Crisis Centres working to end child sexual abuse, rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and all other forms of sexual violence.

The 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line is a national service led by Rape Crisis England & Wales and funded by the Ministry of Justice.

We are looking for a thoughtful, committed and experienced *professional who can lead RCEW’s approach to survivor engagement within the 24/7 Support Line in line with our values and centred in care and safety for all survivors. 

*This role is restricted to applicants who are female. This is a Genuine Occupational Requirement (GOR) in accordance with Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010. Due to the nature of the role, the post holder will be required to provide direct support to women and children who have experienced sexual violence and abuse. The role involves working in women-only spaces and delivering trauma-informed services where privacy, dignity, and the ability to build trust with service users are essential. We consider that being female is an occupational requirement for this role, and that applying this requirement is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim, namely the provision of safe, appropriate, and effective support services to survivors. This requirement has been carefully considered in line with equality legislation and is applied only where it is necessary for the effective delivery of the service.

Job Summary

The Survivor Engagement and Outreach Coordinator will lead our work with survivors to ensure that the 24/7 Support Line is a supportive and an effective service.  The post holder will re-establish the service’s Survivor Reference Group (SRG) which is the lead mechanism to shape the way we design, deliver and promote the 24/7 Support Line. They will work alongside people with lived experience in a respectful and supportive way at all times and ensure that all survivor engagement is centred in care, safety and ethics.

The post holder will also lead our outreach activities connecting with other organisations to promote the 24/7 Support Line in order to build collaborations with other survivors particularly from underserved and marginalised groups of people.

The post-holder will have a proven track record of lived experience engagement, and a good understanding of latest best practice including survivor-centred and trauma informed approaches. They will have excellent people skills including emotional intelligence, strong communication and facilitation skills, and be well versed in child and adult safeguarding.

• Ensure that SRG meetings are facilitated safely, inclusively, and in line with best practice in the field of survivor engagement.
• Collect qualitative insights from SRG sessions to inform service improvements, and coordinate with the service’s operational teams to ensure they shape service development.
•  Ensure survivors are informed about how their contributions have influenced service changes. Where their contributions have not been able to influence the service, be transparent as to why, and learn and reflect about how to shape the approach to balance what could be seen as extraction with advocacy.
• Identify opportunities and liaise with other relevant organisations to design and deliver ad-hoc survivor engagement sessions with groups who may not otherwise join the SRG, but who are wanting to engage in a more limited way to share their views and recommendations.
•  Work to best practice in child and adult safeguarding while also centring survivor-centred approaches in all responses. 
• Always ensuring ethical practice. This includes but is not limited to informed consent.  
• Where necessary, work in collaboration with other colleagues to prevent and respond to complex safeguarding issues; and ensure that learning from concerns and complaints inform all efforts to improve the 24/7 Support Line service.  
• Work in collaboration with other colleagues to inform and improve our approach to ethical storytelling so that our survivor engagement work including the SRG safely features in promotional materials. Ensuring ethical practice includes but is not limited to informed consent.

Outreach work to other organisations and survivors

• Liaise with colleagues and partner organisations to ensure that the most marginalised voices are represented and included  in all engagement. This may mean adopting more agile and adaptive ways of working
• Build relationships with other suitable new organisations to help promote the scope and role of SRG in the 24/7 Support Line in order to learn about other survivor engagement models and reach other  survivors.
• Deliver outreach information sessions to other organisations and community groups about the 24/7 Support Line to raise awareness amongst underserved communities.
• Work with the other staff at RCEW as necessary including those in data to interpret trends in service demographic data, and in communications to develop specific outreach and other strategies to engage survivors and which aligns with broader promotion of the service.

Synergy with the wider work of RCEW

• Participate in team meetings, cross-organisational projects, and wider organisational activities as required.
• Maintain effective communication and collaborative working relationships with colleagues across the organisation and partner network.
• Keep up to date with relevant legislation, safeguarding guidance, sector developments, and wider organisational priorities relevant to the role.

This list is indicative only, not exhaustive. It is intended to reflect a range of duties the post-holder will be expected to perform but additional duties commensurate with the role may be required. The job description will be reviewed from time to time and may change in light of experience and changing circumstances, in consultation with the post-holder.

Oasis Nurture Clinical Lead: a qualified Child Therapist with leadership experience (a qualified Child Psychotherapist or Psychologist (registered) with substantial experience working with children facing adversity)

· For: Oasis Nurture – Oasis St Martin’s Village

· Contract: 4 days a week: Permanent, Term Time

· Working Pattern: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 8-4pm

· Salary:  £42,193, including London Weighting and pro-rated for term-time plus pension and all the usual employment benefits

Oasis St Martin’s Village

Oasis St Martins Village is part of Oasis which is a group of organisations, committed to building stronger communities. Oasis St Martin’s Village, based in Tulse Hill, is a new and exciting project, working in partnership with other organisations in an integrated way, to provide opportunity and pathways for children and young people.

The vision of the Village is to transform the life-chances of children, who are struggling in or not coping with mainstream education, by offering them and their families support and opportunity.

Our work is based around the principle that “it takes a village to raise a child”.

Oasis Nurture

Oasis Nurture is a project that is carried out on the Village. It is a therapeutic intervention designed specifically for those children who might be described as the missing middle – those who do not meet the threshold for an ECHP but who nevertheless struggle to engage with the curriculum for a variety of reasons.

Oasis Nurture is just completing its pilot phase, working with four local schools, offering a two day a week intervention to a small group of children.

As the Clinical Lead, you will ensure the highest standards of therapeutic care, support a team of dedicated practitioners and teachers and collaborate with schools, social services, and mental health agencies to create a wraparound support system for children.

The Role

In this role you will be:

· Providing clinical leadership and case management expertise

· Holding and managing a small caseload of complex therapy cases, providing direct intervention where needed.

· Supervising the team and leading reflective practice

· Fostering a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and kindness within the team.

· Ensuring programme excellence & development, working alongside the leadership team to refine therapeutic models, policies, and safeguarding protocols.

· Ensuring all practice is evidence-based, inclusive, and child-centred.

· Managing data and outcomes, evaluating and reporting impact

Oasis Nurture is not an Alternative Provision; it is a part time intervention designed to support local schools and children and their families.

As this is a newly created role, you will expect some evolution of the role as a result of the development of the project, your insightful input and our combined learning. At the same time, the role provides incredible opportunities for the right person.

To apply, please send your CV and a Supporting Statement (no more than two A4 pages).

Please expand on your CV to tell us about relevant skills, experience and qualifications you have that relate to the job description and person specification.

We will review applications on a rolling basis and reserve the right to close the advert if we identify suitable candidates. To avoid disappointment, please submit your application as soon as possible.

If successful you will be invited to a formal interview (TBC). We actively encourage applications from people of all ethnic backgrounds and underrepresented groups. If you require any assistance to overcome potential barriers during the recruitment process, please let us know. 

Oasis is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the Oasis ethos.  We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks. 

The successful candidates must have the right to work in the UK.  Oasis cannot assist with sponsorship or visas.

RCJ Advice is an independent charity, based originally out of the Royal Courts of Justice in central London, providing a number of local and national services.

In collaboration with national Citizens Advice, we run a national service which provides advice and support to staff and volunteers from local Citizens Advice charities across England & Wales on immigration legal matters, enabling them to better support their clients. By supporting the local charities, we can help build their confidence and knowledge to deal with queries themselves in the future.

We deliver this service through a national telephone helpline, and this role will provide advice and guidance focused on Level 1 and 2 queries.

At RCJ Advice, the Immigration team consists of two paralegals and one solicitor. Both paralegals work on the helpline most days. Whilst the service is primarily there to deal with enquiries through a helpline, there will be an opportunity to support casework. You will also have the opportunity to build good working relationships with staff and volunteers across our other services.

You will come with a level of understanding of immigration law/rules, and will have been giving immigration advice for at least six months, whether solely or as part of giving general advice. You will have excellent communication skills and be able to conduct research and communicate complex information in a way that people will understand.

This is a hybrid role, working in our office within the Royal Courts of Justice in London at least 2 days per week with the option of homeworking up to 3 days per week.
