Healthwatch is an independent champion that gives patients and the public a voice to improve, shape and get the best from health and social care services. We do this by empowering local people and communities and letting those running services know what people want from care.

With integration and collaboration at the heart of health and care services across south-east London, partnership structures are changing to support an increasing emphasis on greater collaboration to support a system-wide approach. It is essential that patients and the public are at the heart of decision making and ensuring services meet the needs and aspirations our communities. 

You will liaise with and represent six local Healthwatch organisations across south-east London on the south-east London (SEL) Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) governing body (and related sub-committees).

You will bring patient and public perspective, informed by your liaison and engagement with the six Local Healthwatch (LHW) across south-east London.

It is not intended that this role will have oversight of Healthwatch engagement or patient and public engagement, rather that you will help to hold the CCG to account, through the appropriate governance processes, and facilitate use of LHW intelligence to ensure the CCG discharges its engagement functions effectively.

As a member of the SEL CCG governing body (and related sub-committees) you will share responsibility for ensuring that it exercises its functions effectively, efficiently, economically, with good governance and in accordance with the terms of the SEL CCG and NHS constitution.

• SEL CCG carries out meaningful collaboration with LHW, and other relevant stakeholders, to commission or restructure services
• SEL CCG engages with LHW to monitor and ensure the highest quality services are delivered and offer the best possible outcomes for SEL patients
• SEL CCG governing body (and related committees) maintains a consistent focus on patient experience,  
• SEL CCG is responsive to the views of LHW, patients and the public and promotes shared decision-making in all aspects of its business
• SEL CCG has appropriate arrangements in place to secure LHW involvement and responds in an effective and timely way to feedback and recommendations from LHW
• there is transparent communication between SEL CCG and local people, including through the dissemination of clear information via LHW, where appropriate.

Core attributes and competencies

The post holder must:

• demonstrate a sound understanding of, and a commitment to upholding, HW principles, values and functions as set out in HW statutory duties
• be committed to working with and across LHW organisations, with an understanding of the challenges faced by small voluntary organisations and ability to spot opportunities and potential collaborations
• be committed to valuing diversity and promoting equality and inclusivity
• be passionate about continuously improving outcomes, tackling health inequalities with a focus on ‘seldom heard’ communities
• have good understanding of the role of HW and an appreciation of current and future broad social, political and economic trends influencing health and social care
• be able to understand and analyse complex issues and information from a service user perspective, drawing on the breadth of insight provided by LHW to inform SEL CCG deliberations and decision-making
• have the confidence to question information and explanations supplied by others, who may be experts in their field
• be able to influence and persuade others, articulating a balanced HW view, and to engage in constructive debate
• ability to recognise key influencers in advancing HW, and user views, and the skills to engage and involve them
• have the ability, organisation and initiative, to proactively build and maintain an effective relationship with LHW and communicate effectively across LHW, listening as well as actively sharing information

In the UK, currently, there are around 950,000 young people aged 16-24 who are not in education, employment or training (NEETs). Over the past year, we have worked with 68,000 young people across the UK. We are in the middle of an ambitious five-year strategy to increase our reach over the next decade to an average of 100,000 young people a year.

Our growth requires a new funding model for the charity, which delivers additional annual income and creates greater income stability and sustainability. The charity’s growth has been driven by our expertise in relationship fundraising. Now, we are diversifying into engaging and raising money from individuals. We have a head-start in the powerful Prince’s Trust Community which surrounds the organization – the employees of our corporate supporters, our volunteers, our communities of supporters and the young people who have been helped and their families.

The Prince’s Trust needs a visionary, entrepreneurial and courageous leader to deliver sustainable income streams from individual supporters (£12m) which will transform the income mix of the organization over the next decade. The Director of Individual Supporters will lead the development of this income stream, reviewing and developing our portfolio of fundraising and engagement events, delivering existing fundraising products and building a strategy for new products and income streams aimed at individuals.

In return, you will get a chance to see the impact of your work every week.You will work with exceptionally skilled and motivated people. You will have the mandate to make a real difference to the lives of thousands of young people. We believe this will be the best work of your life.

We now need a leader who can take these assets and develop and deliver a plan to expand our community of supporters, develop products which appeal to them and which build their increasing engagement with the cause over time, so we are looking for an individual who is restless for change and who can lead the whole organization in their part in building relationships with supporters. As our Director of Individual Supporters, you will have demonstrable experience in a senior fundraising or consumer marketing position, as well as, a track record of significant budgetary responsibility (£10m+ income and £2m+ cost). As this is a key role where you will be developing and delivering long term strategy, you must have experience in this. You will also have previously managed large remote and geographically dispersed teams.

The closing date for this role is the 4th February 2020.
