Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.

Our Mission at Age UK Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent is to make later life better in Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent. Our values underpin everything we do and our desire is to highlight what is positive about age. We are passionate about making Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent great places to grow old in.

We are looking to recruit an experienced person-centred leader who is passionate about delivering services that make a difference to older people’s lives. You will have responsibility of maintaining a high level of service delivery with impressive outcomes. You will lead a team of staff who have specialist Information and Advice (I&A) knowledge, skills and experience. You will be highly organised and able to make decisions and use your initiative. The role will also involve monitoring service processes, systems, and workforce capacity to enable us to identify areas for change and improvement. Knowledge and experience of quality management systems is necessary.

The purpose of the role is to manage and deliver the day to day operations. Operating across three London boroughs, the team has had to adapt to challenging conditions over the course of the pandemic and is now working to transition back to a new but different ‘normal’. Now we want to go further: to reach more people, to help them to connect with others and build new opportunities, to be even more personalised in our approach, achieving better outcomes whilst also improving quality and user experience.

In the year prior to the pandemic the team supported more than 4,500 clients and supported more than £1.75 million in welfare benefits claims. Since the pandemic the team have adapted to provide the first point of contact for the organisation and supported and enabled access to food, essential shopping, prescriptions and much more as needed at different stages of lockdown. This work is supported by more than 40 volunteers.

The opportunities to make a difference are huge. If you think so too and think you have what it takes to be successful as Information & Advice Services Manager, we are keen to hear from you.
