Sightsavers has a fantastic opportunity for a committed, collaborative and experienced Senior Media & PR Officer to join our dynamic and busy media team during an exciting period of growth in our work, ensuring people with disabilities are included in development as well as combatting avoidable blindness and neglected tropical diseases.

About you

Are you a people person? Can you earn people’s trust? Can you help people find the support they need? Are you fully committed to person-centred services? Will you always “go the extra mile” to make sure people find the best possible solution to their needs?

Our purpose

Within a hospital setting, we work with clinical staff to ensure that people can leave hospital at the right time and with the support and care they need.

Within a community and primary care setting, we use social prescribing to help people reduce unnecessary NHS appointments and find appropriate community and non-clinical solutions to their needs. Our mission is to help health and adult care services to work together to reduce unnecessary demands and make sure people receive the best possible services appropriate to their needs.

The role

The Senior Navigator will be responsible for managing staff within one of eight Hertfordshire "localities", developing local relationships and co-ordinating referrals. The Senior Navigator will support the team to work with people who are frail, vulnerable or unwell, people who are in danger of losing their independence, people who are being discharged from hospital and are struggling with their current circumstances.

Navigators take time to understand people’s needs, they understand what services are available, and they work with professionals, volunteers, families, and individuals so things link together as they should. 

Working across both hospital and community settings, you will help prevent the need for people to be admitted to hospital, reduce over-reliance on GPs and/or home care providers, reduce social isolation and improve health and wellbeing.

You will work to understand your local community, link people together, and help develop more effective services. When solutions are needed, you will find them

The job

You will be employed by one of the seven voluntary organisations involved in the partnership: Age UK Hertfordshire, British Red Cross, Carers in Herts, Dacortium, POhWER, Watford & Three Rivers Trust and Watford Community Housing. Oher partners may join. 

You will lead a locality team that will work flexibly to serve their communities; everyone is expected to do occasional evening or weekend work. You must be a driver with access to a vehicle. We can appoint people to work from home, but if your home is outside the locality to which you are attached, we will only pay travel expenses within your locality.

You will need to operate independently, use our case management database and communications systems, understand privacy rules and safeguarding, and work as part of a locality team supported by regular supervision, training and case conferences.

We are recruiting staff to be based throughout Hertfordshire. The roles are permanent (subject to future funding) and full-time but we will accept part-time applications and will try to find job-share partners. 

Applicants

Please apply soonest: we will interview candidates as appropriate applications are received. Please apply online stating how you meet the requirements for this post. If you are currently based outside Hertfordshire, please explain how you will relocated or commute if appointed. Shortlisted candidates will receive full details before interview.

School-Home Support gets children and young people into school, ready to learn.  We have been working for over 30 years, with children, families and schools to break the long-term cycle of deprivation. What starts as poor school attendance can become low educational attainment, anti social behaviour, crime, low paid or no job - generation after generation. SHS makes a real difference and we are passionate about the role education plays in improving life chances for disadvantaged children and young people. 

The Communications and Marketing team at SHS is small and hard working. They oversee all internal and external communications within the organisation - helping to position the charity as a thought leader within the education sector, and raise awareness for some of our key audiences. COVID-19 has put education and related inequalities squarely on the agenda. Our services are never more needed and we need to further increase awareness of our work in order to support more children and families. Building on recent Communications successes we are now looking for a confident, enthusiastic and focused individual to join our friendly team. The role will suit someone who is looking to make an impact and who can build on School-Home Support’s solid reputation.

The post is expected to be home based initially, moving to our Stratford office when restrictions allow. Our office in Stratford is a 10 minute walk from the station and well served with both underground and mainline trains, including Stratford International, Jubilee and Central line tubes, Overground and DLR.
