MYcommunity has been working in partnership with all nine Primary Care Networks (PCNs) in Lambeth since December 2019.

● 26 days holiday a year rising to 31 days after 5 years 

● A great staff team

How to apply 

You will be required to upload your CV and a letter of application answering the following 4 questions (in no more than 250 words per question). 

1. Why do you want to join us at Age UK Lambeth? And why now?

2. Tell us how you would go about understanding what the current information requirements are for Age UK Lambeth?

3. Describe how you would engage with people in the organisation and our partners given the current lockdown restrictions?

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 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. 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.

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

We are recruiting Hospital & Community Navigators to work with people who are frail or vulnerable or unwell, people who are in danger of losing their independence, people who are being admitted to hospital, and people who are being discharged from hospital.

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 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 Hospital and Community Navigators to be based throughout Hertfordshire. The roles are permanent (subject to future funding). The roles are 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. 

This role will provide intensive support to people who are now housed in temporary accommodation. Interventions are based on the principles of a Critical Time Intervention approach and the role will work to a CTI model in order to enhance the likelihood of a successful transition to more permanent accommodation andsustainment of tenancy.

Are you passionate about food, families and fairness? We are looking for a highly motivated, skilled, and enthusiastic professional to lead our Kitchen Club programme across up to five settings, including management responsibility for a small team.

About Parent Club

Parent Club works in partnership with community settings to deliver ‘Kitchen Club’ sessions, where early years families work together to create a delicious, vegetarian lunch with low-cost ingredients. Early learning resources are also provided, encouraging parents to chat, read and play with their children.

Sessions are informal and there is no pressure to get involved, but, through careful planning, we aim to make it easier for parents to connect with each other and improve their skills in a fun, friendly environment.

As well as promoting healthy eating, our approach combines aspects of community psychology, child development theory and adult learning to deliver outcomes in five key areas:

• Parent wellbeing
• Family nutrition
• Confidence in cooking ability
• Knowledge and skills around child development
• Knowledge of local support services and activities

With a specific focus on engaging parents who lack confidence and are socially isolated or vulnerable, we aim to be accessible for families who may not feel comfortable in more formal settings. Wherever possible, we include families in decision-making, for example about what to cook each week or which activities to provide for children.

About the role

As Project Leader, you will:

• Plan and deliver high quality sessions, with engaging activities for parents and children
• Manage the work of support staff and volunteers
• Manage relationships with professionals in partner settings, including senior staff
• Ensure that systems for monitoring, impact and evaluation are used properly
• Work with the Chief Executive to improve service delivery, including model refinement and programme design

About you

You will have excellent interpersonal skills and a commitment to making a positive difference.  You may have a background in community work, early years provision, parent support, teaching or catering. Above all, you will be passionate about working through relationships to support families with young children.

Parent Club is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and Adults at Risk. The successful applicant will be required to undertake an enhanced DBS check.
