Receptionist jobs near Bristol

Around 40% of Beat’s income currently comes from Trusts, Foundations and Statutory sources. We have a well-established Trusts & Statutory function and have succeeded in gaining the support of many well-known funders, such as the National Lottery, Children in Need and Garfield Weston Foundation. This year, we are forecasting to raise just under £2.6m from Trusts & Statutory, so this role is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious candidate to play a really crucial role in securing the income which will enable us to help more people than ever before.

Notably, our helpline is supporting three times as many people as pre-pandemic and our funders have responded generously. Meanwhile, our work to improve access to high quality treatment and care is receiving an increasingly positive reception. We therefore find ourselves in the position of needing to rapidly develop new services, campaigns and information – and to find sustainable sources of funding for them.

Role purpose

Maximising income for Beat’s work from trust and statutory sources, by the creation of high-quality applications and reports to funders and by providing excellent account management and cross-team collaboration.

Responsibilities include

Proactively identifying trust and statutory funding sources, researching them for suitability.

Writing high quality applications to trusts and statutory funders.

Providing high quality account management through collecting information for, and writing, reports - maximising income generation and relationship longevity.

Conditions

Beat offers 5.25 weeks of annual leave + bank holidays which increases after 2 years, by a day a year to a maximum of 6 weeks. Additionally Beat provides membership of a Cash Plan Scheme to all employees and offers flexible working.

Walking Project Support Worker
28 hours per week
£21,269 per annum, pro-rata. Actual annual salary £15,881.
Fixed-term until 30th June 2023 - Renewal subject to funding

Older people can experience barriers that prevent them from engaging in local activities and hinder them from keeping active; this may be because of a significant life event like a bereavement or periods of ill health resulting in a lack of confidence. Age UK South Gloucestershire working in partnership with Wesport is looking at reducing these barriers through walking. Walking has amazing health benefits, is accessible and is a great way to reintroduce physical activity into daily life.

This pilot group walking project is supported by local NHS Ageing Well funding under the national 'Live Longer Better' programme. The project will look to develop and support older people by introducing more physical activity to their lives through short weekly walks in areas across South Gloucestershire. We aim for these group walks to be inclusive, flexible enough to adapt to older people's lives and abilities, and act as a gateway to enjoying more regular physical activity. Group walks are appealing to people who have not taken part in exercise for some time, are nervous about walking alone or don't yet feel ready to join a Walking for Health programme, where the shortest walks are a mile long.

As the Walking Project Support Worker, you would assist the Project Coordination in successfully developing, promoting and delivering our new supported walking service for older people throughout South Gloucestershire. Duties will include leading weekly walks, acting as first aider, welcoming walkers and providing information on the walking route and potential risks and hazards. The successful candidate will also support the administration of the service and assist with the production and review of person-centred health & risk assessments for older people.

If you are organised, have an enthusiasm for and understanding of the importance of walking for health, and are a good communicator, who would relish the opportunity to positively impact the lives of older people, we would like to hear from you.

Age UK South Gloucestershire offers a generous benefits package, and the charity is committed to equalities, diversity and inclusion and therefore encourages applications from all sectors of the community.

Digital Inclusion Project Coordinator

Fixed-term until 30th November 2023 - Renewal subject to funding

Although the number of older people who are digitally connected continues to rise, there are still around 5 million people over the age of 55 in the UK who are not online. Age remains the biggest indicator of who's digitally excluded.

We live in an increasingly online world, with many key services moving to become 'digital first'. Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of the internet has become even more important, and for most people, this has changed the way they work, access services, maintain social contacts, and generally live their lives. While many older people have embraced digital technology, there are others who are less confident who are at risk of being left behind.

Age UK South Gloucestershire's new Digital Inclusion project looks to expand on our existing Technology Support provision and aims to deliver a programme to tackle digital exclusion by providing ongoing support for older people to increase and improve their digital skills and through the provision of loan technology to those older people without access. Being digitally included can help older people carry out the activities that matter most to them. It can help them stay connected with family and friends, find activities and support, access essential services, and remain socially connected.

As Digital Inclusion Project Coordinator, you would develop, coordinate and deliver our new digital inclusion support service for older people throughout South Gloucestershire. Duties will include establishing referral routes, publicising the service and matching the Digital Outreach Worker and Digital Champion volunteers to clients. The successful candidate will also coordinate the delivery of a Tablet Loan Scheme to increase access to technology for local older people.

If you have an advanced digital skill set, are patient, flexible, and a good communicator, and would relish the opportunity to positively impact the lives of older people, we would like to hear from you.

This pilot group walking project is supported by local NHS Ageing Well funding under the national 'Live Longer Better' programme. The project will look to develop and support older people by introducing more physical activity to their lives through short weekly walks in areas across South Gloucestershire. We aim for these group walks to be inclusive, flexible enough to adapt to older people's lives and abilities, and act as a gateway to enjoying more regular physical activity. Group walks are appealing to people who have not taken part in exercise for some time, are nervous about walking alone or don't yet feel ready to join a Walking for Health programme, where the shortest walks are a mile long.

As the Walking Project Coordinator, you would develop, coordinate and deliver our new supported walking service for older people throughout South Gloucestershire. Duties will include building relationships with GPs across the area and establishing referral routes, publicising the service, and planning and leading walks. The successful candidate will also identify & implement a reward incentive for those engaging in walking activities.

If you have an enthusiasm for and understanding of the importance of walking for health, can motivate and engage a group, are a good communicator, and would relish the opportunity to positively impact the lives of older people, we would like to hear from you.

Age UK South Gloucestershire offers a generous benefits package, and the charity is committed to equalities, diversity and inclusion and therefore encourages applications from all sectors of the community.

If that person could be you, download an application pack from our website. Applications must be made using the form on our website, and completed application forms should be returned to us directly. Applications will not be accepted when submitted via agencies or other recruitment platforms.
