Age UK Lambeth’s vision is to work closely with residents, closely to where they live, remain relevant and to respond locally to rising needs. We want to ensure that we are easy to access, working with local communities and providing the best support we can to residents and our partners such as secondary care.

What you’ll be doing?
-
Oversee the development of a new, inclusive volunteer programme that offers a range of diverse and challenging volunteer roles to support patients leaving hospital and once settled home.
-
Work in partnership with the VCS to create 100 volunteering opportunities to support hospital discharge.
-
Using the volunteer platform, Care for Me, track allocated tasks to ensure they’re completed. Monitor volunteer reports to review the support and work delivered under the project.
-
Develop and maintain strong working relationships with King’s College Hospital and Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital to ensure appropriate referrals are made into the service.

While this role might suit someone already working in the voluntary sector who wants to progress, we’d equally welcome applications from any candidates who feel they have relevant transferable experience and skill sets. The following knowledge, skills and experience are preferred:
- A good professional networker who actively listens, joins in, and focuses on creating long-term relationships with contacts.

- Experience of building compelling cases for support that can be translated into pitches and proposals.
- Experience of pitching and presenting clear, emotive, and compelling content to a wide range of potential audiences, from the reception desk to the boardroom.
- Experience of cultivating partnerships with clients, from initial connection or introduction to secure long term financial commitment
- Ability to work collaboratively with diverse global teams, across different time zones.
- Self-motivated and organised, able to work under pressure to deadlines and use own initiative to solve problems and adapt to changes.
- Rudimentary understanding of key corporate fundraising trends and priorities for corporate donors including SDGs, ESG, and employee engagement metrics
- Demonstrable passion for the vision of Habitat for Humanity of decent housing for all.
- Support of Habitat’s values and willingness to be a part of the HFHGB team, contributing to an inclusive, kind and people positive culture.
What we offer
Employee well-being is pivotal to organisational success and HFHGB is committed to supporting its people’s well-being. Our existing offer includes flexible working arrangements, a sabbatical policy, virtual GP services, and “Habitat Day” – an extra day of leave for the whole team. In the next year, we plan to expand our offer further, establishing Mental Health First Aider training, a buddy system for new team members, and burnout training. We want to foster a resilient and well-supported team, and encourage all employees to actively participate in continuous improvement in this endeavour.
A flexible approach
HFHGB is seeking to rapidly scale up its activities and impact to fight poverty across the world. This means that the organisation must be adaptable and flexible and have an ambitious, and dynamic team. While this is currently a home-based role, it is an expectation that the post holder will be flexible, and able to travel to Greater London and elsewhere on a regular basis.
