Real is about to launch our new employment support project for disabled people and employers in Tower Hamlets. We are recruiting an Advice Coordinator to oversee and deliver this new service, for which we have three years’ funding.

Our “NOW and THEN” project is designed to help employers become more inclusive of disabled people as workers and therefore increase the employment rate of local disabled people. The project works through two parallel networks:

• THEN (Tower Hamlets’ Employers Network) - a collection of local employers looking to improve the way they support and attract disabled people in the workplace; and
• NOW (Network of Workers) - disabled people currently in work or those seeking employment, who want to help employers improve.

The projects aim is more disabled people accessing and thriving in work experience and employment opportunities, as Tower Hamlets employers become more inclusive of disabled people and more aware of how to support them.  This is an exciting opportunity to work for the only pan-disability, user-led organisation in Tower Hamlets; helping us to provide remarkable services to, and outcomes for, disabled people in the borough.

This role requires a motivated, person-centred individual who is able to lead and inspire other staff and members of the public to collaborate to deliver this specialised advice service. You will be expected to have a good understanding of, and existing experience in, employment support for disabled people. You will be responsible for ensuring that project aims are achieved and all of Real’s activities contribute to Real’s vision, mission and strategic objectives.  You will line manage a Senior Adviser (already in post) who will also work on the project alongside you.

Real is proud of its principles of valuing everyone and never discriminating. As a user-led organisation of local disabled people we particularly welcome applicants who are disabled or who live in Tower Hamlets.

Why you should work for Real

• We are a dynamic, growing third sector organisation and a user-led organisation of disabled people. We are firmly driven by our principles and ethos.
• We are a progressive organisation, constantly looking to work more effectively. But this does not mean we abandon our principles.
• We have a good reputation with our funders and our clients, and support approximately 1000 people in the community each year.
• We actively embrace diversity in all forms. Our clients relate to us more because we reflect their reality.
• We consider disability in our employees an asset.
• There is a great atmosphere and good staff morale.
• In a number of areas we are at the forefront of being part of an evolving and developing third sector in Tower Hamlets.

Are you an organised self-starter with a keen eye for detail? Do you know how to communicate in a clear and engaging way?

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Communications and Administration Assistant to help us create compelling content and ensure the smooth running of the organisation.

About 360Giving

360Giving is a unique initiative. We help UK funders publish open, standardised grants data, and empower people to use this data to improve charitable giving. Our vision is for UK grantmaking to be more informed, effective and strategic.

About the role

The Communications and Administration Assistant is responsible for providing day-to-day support to ensure the smooth running of 360Giving’s communications and operations.

The role involves maintaining 360Giving’s website and social media accounts; helping to create and produce blogposts, reports, newsletters and other external content; organising external workshops and events; coordinating our communities and networks, supporting the CEO with monitoring and reporting; scheduling internal governance and planning meetings; and supporting the CEO with other operations and administrative tasks to make sure the organisation works as effectively and efficiently as possible.

This is a varied and interesting role for a good team-player who is conscientious and well organised, with excellent writing and communication skills.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our Data & Analytics Manager is a new senior management position in the IBD Registry that reflects both our fast growth and increasing maturity. The primary function of this role is to manage the effective collection, curation and utilisation of clinical data, surgical data, patient reported outcomes and other relevant data.  The goal is to ensure quality IBD data is available to support our goals in quality improvement, service evaluation, pharmacovigilance / post-marketing surveillance and eventually research. You will especially play a key role in the curation, transformation and linkage of the IBD datasets required for the Hub with the Cambridge data specialists.

You will be part of a small and growing and highly collaborative team, reporting directly to and working closely with the CEO, as well as with clinical and academic data specialists including our Academic Lead, a doctor and senior academic in the Health Data department of the University of Liverpool.

ABOUT YOU

To be successful in this role you will be a delivery-focused problem-solver, both organised and adaptable, with massive attention to details and a practical hands-on style. You will have significant experience in data management across the data lifecycle, including ETL (using scripting languages such as Python, C#, JSON, XML), databases (primarily MySQL) and analytics environments (such as R/R Studio).  You will have a strong academic qualification record, showing a disciplined numerate background as a foundation for your later experience in data.  Ideally, you will have come from the healthcare or pharmaceutical industries, or as an alternative from a highly-regulated sector where both data protection and delivery are critical. You may have gained your experience in a large consultancy or in a start-up environment; in either case, your most important attributes will be your rigour in thinking, readiness to learn and your 'can do’ mindset.

Above all, you need to believe in our mission and want to join us to make a difference: our small team makes a big difference in IBD across the UK and this needs to be more than ‘just a job’ for you.

More information and how to apply

Please see our website for more information about us, and also about this role.  To apply, all candidates are required to complete and submit our online Application Form (available on our website)

Note:  this role is home based during COVID-19. Our offices are in Epsom.  We will be reviewing our company working arrangements after the COVID-19 pandemic, but candidates should assume that while there may be some home working it will be balanced with some days each week in the Epsom office.

The International Longevity Centre UK is recruiting for a Communications and Engagement Officer to join our small and passionate team.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication and organisational skills who will be excited about working on one of the most important public policy issues facing society.

• How can employers support older people to work longer and how can retailers better engage with older consumers?

As our Communications and Engagement Officer you will have an answer to these questions and know how to best communicate it.

We want you to help us use our expertise in demographic change to highlight the impact of ageing on society, working with experts, policy makers and practitioners to provoke conversations and pioneer solutions for a society where everyone can thrive, regardless of age.

One day you might be focussed on talking to journalists or politicians about the economic opportunities of population ageing. The next day you might be developing a plan to engage employers with the importance of preventing ill health or maximising the productivity of their ageing workforce.
