Background
Medact supports the health community to work together towards a world in which everyone can truly achieve and exercise their human right to health. We cover some of the most pressing national and global threats to health and wellbeing including climate change; human rights abuses; conflict and violence; and rising inequality. We’re member-led, and our membership spans a range of people who work in health including nurses, doctors, midwives, and clinical researchers.
Climate change is a public health emergency, damaging the health and lives of millions of people around the world. Many of the communities which are suffering most from the impacts of Covid-19 are also those whose health and wellbeing is hardest hit by environmental damage.
The Coronavirus pandemic is forcing Governments to rethink national and global economics. As the UK Government moves to develop a recovery package, it’s vital the progressive movement comes together to ensure a socially-just recovery which centres human and planetary health. Health workers have a uniquely powerful voice, and a strong will to make a difference - there’s an exciting opportunity to bring large numbers of people together to campaign in ways which will have real impact.
Medact believes the health community has a key role to play in driving transformative social change - come work with us to help make that a reality.
About the role
The Climate & Health Campaigner leads Medact’s programme to support health workers to campaign for just and proportionate action on climate change, working closely with our Climate & Health Organiser. In spite of - or perhaps because of - the Coronavirus pandemic, there is huge energy among the health community on climate justice issues. The role includes holding Medact’s key knowledge base on climate justice and health and requires building strong relationships across the health community, from establishment institutions to frontline workers.
About you
This isn’t an entry-level role, but you don’t need to have had a job in an NGO before or be a professional campaigner to be right for it. You might have worked with your local community or other group to campaign on a climate justice issue you care deeply about. You’ll be a strategic thinker with a strong understanding of power, and know how to work with others to create pressure for change. You need to be a great communicator, able to build trusting relationships with frontline health workers, academics, partner organisations, and community groups alike - and you’ll have an eye for a good media story and know how to get it out into the world.
How to apply
Please use the application form available on our website to upload a CV and a cover letter of no more than two A4 pages setting out why you are interested in the role, and how you meet the person specification.
Please:

We are particularly keen to receive applications from people of colour; people with disabilities; people who identify as being LGTBQIA; people who have a mental health condition; and people who identify as working class or have a working class background.

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need.

Peer-led services form the backbone of our work. Our Peer Advisor Programme includes several community-based Hubs that develop and train Peer Advisors linking them with St Giles services and local partner organisations.

This will involve regularly working one-to-one with them to develop healthy coping mechanisms for mental health difficulties, and addressing any underlying trauma, specific concerns, challenges and mental health difficulties arising from COVID19.
What we are looking for:
• A counselling, psychotherapy, or psychology qualification at Postgraduate level and membership of a professional organisation or relevant professional body (BACP or BABCP)
• Experience of working with socially excluded adults and awareness of the issues faced by our client group, including the barriers faced when starting employment
• A track record of delivering support in a system of wider support, training, and development that involved working effectively with colleagues across the organization, often in different locations
• A proven ability to provide psychological and therapeutic frameworks that enable individuals to progress towards their goals, tailoring support to individual needs as appropriate
• Someone who is passionate and has the communication skills to build successful relationships with partners and specialist support organisations, especially in the mental health sector
• Experience of providing support remotely, by phone and online
