Carers Support Merton

Carers Support Merton (CSM) is a well established and respected charity in the London Borough of Merton with an ambitious development programme of work to support promote and improve the quality of life of unpaid carers from the age of 5 years. CSM has an exciting opportunity for a Digital Skills Project Coordinator to join our friendly team on a fixed term basis of 12 months with possible extension subject to funding. 

The pandemic has spurred us on to embrace technology as an effective tool with which to deliver our services. It has made us all the more determined to bridge the divide between those Carers who rely on such technology for their daily interactions and those without access to the Internet, or indeed the skills to take advantage of it, and who are subsequently missing out on a wealth of knowledge, information and services as a result.

The project will train volunteer Digital Champions from the local community to provide Carers with one-to-one or small group support to develop basic digital skills to reduce isolation and increase access to information, advice and services.  Training will take place remotely initially, but as the COVID restrictions lift face to face at community venues or in Carers homes.  The project will also address access to equipment and connectivity through distributing equipment on a loan or a donated basis.

The post will include line management responsibility for one other part time post holder.

Carers Support Merton, as an employer, is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. This includes a commitment to robust recruitment, selection and induction procedures.

The successful candidate will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check.

Digital Skills Project Coordinator

Hours: 27 hours per week (can be worked over 4 or 5 days and be worked flexibly mainly including core hours of 10am – 4pm but to include some early evenings and occasional weekends depending on service demand).  

Salary : £ 30,794.40 per annum pro rata ( Actual Salary:23,755.68)

The ideal candidate will be passionate about digital advancement and the benefits to Carers. 

It goes without saying you will have excellent digital skills and the ability and patience to build skills and confidence in others.  You will have a flexible and pro-active approach to work, attention to detail, strong interpersonal skills and an ability to communicate effectively with a diverse range of people, both in person and remotely.  You will have experience of project and people management.  As this is a 12 month project in the first instance you will need to be able to ‘hit the ground’ running and make it a success and make a real difference to the lives of Carers.

We are currently home based due to COVID-19.  However, in the future the role will be based at our offices in Mitcham and will involve travelling independently around the borough delivering teaching sessions in community venues and Carers homes.  However, there would be the opportunity for continued homeworking for some of the working hours.  This role is NOT suitable for permanent fulltime remote working.

This is a politically neutral role, and the successful person will ideally be a politically aware individual that can exercise sound judgement and display discretion.

On 14 June 2017 the devastating fire at Grenfell Tower led to the loss of 72 lives with many more injured. The fire was an unprecedented event and since that day NFCC have been working to ensure it should never happen again. In 2018 NFCC set up a Building Safety Programme Team (BSP Team) to lead the Fire and Rescue Services’ response to reforms proposed in Building A Safer Future, in response to the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, lead by Dame Judith Hackitt. In late 2019 the Government invited the Chair of NFCC Roy Wilsher, to Chair a new Protection Board (PB).

You will be joining the NFCC at a critical time, with a fast-paced building safety reform agenda being delivered across government, including the response to the Grenfell Tower fire, and findings from HMICFRS reporting on FRSs. If this role is of interest, we would love to hear from you.

Knowledge, Skills and Experience

The post holder will need to use initiative and judgement to resolve problems encountered, which may be complex in nature.

The post requires a self-motivated individual who can plan, organise and be adaptive in a non-traditional office environment, and will be comfortable working across a range of platforms. You will be adept at providing support to senior decision makers, have excellent time management skills, attention to detail and the ability to prioritise competing demands.

You will also be able to gather and analyse information from a variety of sources, drawing out relevant points and communicating them succinctly. You will be confident building rapport with senior leaders. You may previously have worked in producing advice to Ministers, provided policy advice within the civil service, or helped to deliver in an area of significant policy reform. An understanding of building safety and construction market regulation is desirable.

Key skills and experience include:

• Organisation and attention to detail.
• Experience advising busy, senior decision makers.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
• Experience of working in a fast-moving environment agile, ideally with experience from a public sector background.

About the Role

The Access Project is pleased to recruit for an exciting opportunity; we are looking for experienced tutors with a love of learning to support disadvantaged students to reach their full academic potential whilst still earning a competitive market rate for their tuition expertise. 

As part of our continued commitment to help our students attain highly at A Level we are undertaking a new pilot programme matching experienced and high quality tutors with small groups of students already enrolled on our core programme. Tutors that deliver the pilot will have tutored professionally at A Level previously and have a strong association with our mission to widen access to top Universities. They will relish delivering meaningful social impact whilst being paid at rate commensurate with their level of experience.

Who are we?

We support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university. Our results show this approach works.

Our students perform better than their peers academically, and independent analysis by UCAS has shown that students on our programme are four times as likely to get into a top university as similar peers. Our ambition is to reach more young people whilst maintaining this exceptionally high impact.

The Access Project (TAP) currently works in London and the East and West Midlands. We have a growing team working in schools and in our regional offices. Our funding comes from a range of sources including schools, businesses, major donors and grant-making trusts. We know that there are many bright disadvantaged young people outside of our current geographies who have the talent to go on to top universities but aren’t able to fulfil this potential. Our long-term ambition is to grow to national reach.

Duties and Responsibilities

• To organise, plan and deliver weekly 1-hour long group tuition sessions to A Level students (Year 12 or 13) via The Access Project’s bespoke online platform
• To fill in appropriate online forms relating to tuition with pupils (weekly register, etc)
• To liaise with the Senior Attainment Coordinator to ensure the smooth running of the pilot and regular attendance of the students
• To undergo any additional appropriate training throughout the role to enhance understanding of safeguarding students and delivery of additional “study skills” modules
• Participate in occasional focus group discussions with other tutors, to support TAP to understand how well the pilot is going/has gone and what can be done to improve it

Person Specification – skills and attributes

• A minimum of one year of tutoring experience required or qualified teacher status (tutoring references from at least two previous employers or parents of tutored students preferred)
• Evidence of the ability to tutor Maths, English or Biology to A Level standard
• Enthusiasm for and ability to contribute to the successful development of The Access Project’s attainment raising work .
• Confident in working with young people
• A strong written and verbal communicator who is positive and flexible
• Robust and resilient character with excellent time-management skills
• Must have achieved a minimum of Grade B at GCSE in Maths, English and Science
• Understands The Access Project’s Mission and ways of working
• Familiarity with and strong knowledge of exam specifications and relevant exam boards.
