About #HealthNow
Shelter, along with Crisis and Groundswell as lead partner, were successful in securing a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver #HealthNow across the UK, working towards an inclusive health system where everyone has access to the health care they need and ultimately moving people out of homelessness. Shelter (in Manchester) and Crisis (in Newcastle and Birmingham) have created local #HealthNow alliances, informed by peer-led research to understand and raise awareness of local barriers to accessing healthcare for homeless people.

The role will also involve developing and coordinating the local #HealthNow Alliance meetings and activities and contribution to the national alliance. You will also be expected to deliver one-to-one supervision to volunteers and develop and maintain an effective referrals system, while ensuring advocacy appointments are delivered in line with advocacy principles and helping with the annual project planning process are also key duties.

About you
You will have a proven record of paid staff and volunteer recruitment and management and managing and motivating a team of people effectively, plus experience of managing complex projects, including using a range of Project Management techniques. An outstanding communicator, both verbal and written, with strong interpersonal, problem-solving and IT skills, you will also have a sound knowledge of how to use social media tools to share knowledge and create insights, while an understanding of the role of advocacy is also vital.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave (pro rata), enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
