Midaye is looking for a Project Manager. This is a new part-time, fixed-term contract post (3 years) coordinating our Journey of Hope project which has just received 3-year Comic Relief funding. Your role will involve working with our Director to develop this initiative from the outset, managing the project; liaising with statutory funders, commissioners and partners; and the public. 

About Journey of Hope: Transforming BME migrant women's mental health 

Journey of Hope will work to transform the effectiveness of mental health services for BME migrant women by action on three connected fronts. We will refine and evidence our community counselling model; influence our community to develop new attitudes to mental health; and work with statutory and VCS providers and commissioners to support them in developing good practice through rethinking their approach. 

This is an urgent project - mental health problems are dangerously high in our communities. Migrant women carry deep scars of war, forced migration and FGM, now combined with the strain of extreme poverty and isolation, day-to-day experience of systemic racism, and fear for their children’s future. But the subject of mental health carries many taboos. Acknowledging problems and seeking help are acts of great bravery, which come to nothing when services are inaccessible or inappropriate in their response. Midaye’s community approach to mental health is client-led and uses culturally appropriate solutions, which greatly improves outcomes. Women who were isolated, afraid and held hostage by mental ill-health are now volunteering on mental health, speaking in public meetings, and voicing how to support the mental health of their community. We have earned the trust of our community because we deliver. And we have built a strong reputation with a range of partners -statutory and VCS alike -for our experienced staff, effective model and unparalleled reach into vulnerable BME migrant groups – and our effective advocacy for their needs. 

Midaye, although still a small organisation (19 staff), is a well-established local presence – reaching 950 clients per annum, we have developed partnerships with local authorities, NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups, and other charities; become known for our innovative community work on mental health, FGM, chronic health, and educational underachievement; and become valued contributors to local, regional and national policy and academic research in our areas of work. At the same time, we have retained our deep links in BME migrant communities for whom English is an additional language. We are now using this position to create change for BME migrant women in local mental health services. 

Your role 

You will be a central part of our vibrant, committed staff team supporting our work in the community. If you would like to join us in providing this crucial changemaking service, you must demonstrate that you are highly organised and efficient, able to influence partners in the community and in statutory organisations, and able to prioritise and manage your workload. 

You will understand mental health issues and community organisations, and be experienced in project management. You will have excellent interpersonal skills and be confident with IT systems.

In return, you will gain the satisfaction of knowing that your work is making a difference to disadvantaged communities in London. Your role will be a crucial one within Midaye, spearheading a new and important development. You will have the opportunity to grow in your role, and to gain experience. You will be part of a warm, friendly staff team who work towards Midaye’s goals with commitment and good humour.

Background

There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1.1 million by 2025, and 2 million by 2050.

In response to this Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions people need. The unique dementia expertise and experience an Admiral Nurse brings is a lifeline - it helps everyone in the family to live more positively with dementia in the present, and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.

The charity has seen significant income growth over the past five years. Despite Covid-19, we have had our most successful fundraising year to date and we have ambitious plans to maintain this growth so we can significantly increase the number of Admiral Nurses, and the specialist support they provide.

Community Fundraising will play a key part in this expansion, as a key income stream for the charity. The charity is very invested in community fundraising and there is a great deal of support for the team (and post holders) to help them continue this growth. This is a great opportunity for someone to have a real impact and make their mark across their region, raising vital funds and awareness.

Purpose of Job
