If you have 3 years experience of working with ethnically diverse, hard to reach communities in Leeds, Bradford and/or Dewsbury and would like to offer a holistic Support Service to Babies and Children with Congenital Heart Disease and their families we would like to hear from you.

CHSF support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit and it's patients. This role is to provide targeted support to hard to reach families affected by congenital heart disease, which may be marginalised by poor English language skills or due to cultural or religious barriers etc. Support will focus on Leeds and Bradford first but expand out to Dewsbury and other relevant areas.

We want this post-holder to provide wrap-around, culturally sensitive support for the whole family unit from diagnosis of the baby or child's congenital heart disease, during hospital stays, through discharge and beyond. This may involve 1-1 support, offering a holistic package of support which may vary from light touch to significant interventions, coordinated with a range of other agencies, depending on the complexity of the needs of the family. It may also involve creating peer support groups and organising family events.

Children with congenital heart disease often have long hospital stays and multiple surgical interventions and their condition needs to be well managed for life to maintain their wellbeing and minimise emergency admissions. High child poverty blights Yorkshire with most areas at 32-34% but some as high as 38% of children in poverty. Asian communities experience higher poverty.  The purpose of this role is to engage with the communities which are hardest to reach who also are affected by congenital heart disease to offer a holistic, tailored and culturally sensitive service.

You will require an excellent understanding of all the religions and cultures across our ethnically diverse populations in Leeds, Bradford and Dewsbury with a focus on South Asian Communities, having done comparative support work within one or all of these communities.  You will need to have a relevant childcare, education, social care or health qualification to NVQ Level 3 or equivalent or substantial enough experience to negate this. It would be desirable if you were a profiicient speaker of Urdu and Punjabi and had at least 3 years experience of working with ethnically diverse communities in a comparative role..

FearFree delivers services across the South West for victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse and victims of sexual violence. We provide responsive, victim focused and trauma informed support and this post will be fundamental to ensuring service users, stakeholders and partners experience this in our daily delivery.

The aim of the Interpersonal Trauma Service is to improve the health, wellbeing and safety of people who have been exposed to trauma arising from sexual violence and abuse and/or domestic abuse.

Following a successful trial in several surgeries, this service is now being rolled out across Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.  This makes it a very exciting opportunity to take ownership and be part of an innovative new service, delivering real improvements to the local community.

You will work across a specified number of GP practices, to offer support to health professionals working in practices, people who have experience of interpersonal trauma arising from sexual violence and abuse and/or domestic abuse, as well as a service for people at risk of perpetrating abuse.

You and your team will provide appropriate training to GP surgeries to improve identification, enquiry and response for patients. You will also provide adults whose health is being negatively impacted by interpersonal trauma with appropriate support. The team will provide support to children affected by domestic abuse, and provide people who are using abusive behaviours with appropriate support and interventions. Additionally, you will be responsible for facilitating rapid access to further appropriate support services following referral.

As Inclusion Lead, you will have an increased focus on working with those who organisations have previously found it difficult to reach, working to ensure the whole population receives an appropriate service. This work will take a systems-based approach as well as 1:1 work with those who access our services. You will hold a generalist caseload, but have an additional focus on those who have face additional barriers to service access, disseminating your expertise amongst the team and those we train, in order to upskill others.

For a full job description/person specification and to apply, please follow the link provided on this website. The closing date for this role is Friday, 15th December 2023.

FearFree is committed to encouraging equality and diversity in the workplace.  We strive to be a diverse and inclusive place to work where we can all be ourselves and individual differences are recognised and valued. 

You are an experienced peacebuilder and manager of people and programmes, and have worked previously in Sudan.  You have proven ability in designing and adapting programmes, keeping them relevant and accountable in complex local contexts, ideally in Darfur.   

Concordis has worked in Sudan and South Sudan since we were formed as an organisation in 2004.  The devastation caused by the current war is heart-breaking, but it also reminds us of the vital importance of peacebuilding.   

Concordis continues to implement directly in South Darfur, with a team of eight national staff who remain in Darfur and three more working from outside the country.  The team consulted over 3,500 people before the war began and identified a network of 103 local peacebuilders across South Darfur.  We work alongside national partner Malam Darfur Peace and Development, and support local peacebuilders where conflict is fought and felt.  You’ll take on leadership of the team 18 months into the current EU grant.   

You also have a track record of engaging effectively and proactively with international donors, sharing analysis, communicating the vision and winning funds. You’ll use those skills as you adapt the current programme to meet entry points for peacebuilding, as you work with the team and local partners in designing the next steps, and as you work collaboratively with donors in keeping them on board.   

Despite the evident challenges, we see opportunities and an urgent need to support local peacebuilders in managing South Darfur’s myriad local conflicts, to prevent them escalating or from becoming instrumentalised in the war.  There are also emerging opportunities to expand on this programme elsewhere in Darfur, and with Darfuri herders displaced into South Sudan and beyond.

This will require visionary leadership and the skill and drive to navigate a way forward in the coming months and years.   Concordis’ peacebuilding programme in South Darfur is primarily about promoting peaceful coexistence amongst and between pastoralist groups and the settled population.  This mirrors our existing work over the border in Central African Republic, where we engage with some of the same pastoralists during the dry season, and complements our ongoing work along the border of Sudan and South Sudan, including in Abyei.

This work can demand a lot from all of us, and we have high expectations for the person in this post, but they’ll be part of a supportive team, leading an exciting programme, helping to make a measurable change for peace.

Please take care to complete the application form in full, as we’ll assess whether you meet the person specification based solely on the answers given in the application form.

The role involves building relationships with people experiencing homelessness to encourage them to access the health opportunities provided by Find&Treat (Tuberculosis (TB) and Blood Bourne Virus (BBV) screening / Essential immunisations / support to register with primary care services and attend hospital appointments and support to engage with drug and alcohol treatment services) working in close partnership with the Groundswell Homeless Health Peer Advocacy (HHPA) programme. 

This is a fixed term post that provides a great opportunity for a creative and committed individual to develop skills and gain knowledge as part of this internationally recognised and award-winning outreach team.  Training will be provided where appropriate and could include clinical skills such as BBV testing patients or research methods skills. Find&Treat have strong links to research activities at UCL and would encourage individuals with an interest in public health research to apply.

Candidates with experience of social exclusion due to homelessness, imprisonment, sex work, drug use, migration or otherwise being part of a marginalised population, who meet the specification, will be given priority access to this post
