Snowdon Trust, a national charity based near Horsham, West Sussex, wishes to appoint a new Chief Executive to start towards the end 2020.
The Trust was established by Lord Anthony Snowdon in 1981 to help people living with a wide range of disabilities to achieve their goals in further or higher education or vocational training. Since 1981 we have given grants of over £4 million to help more than 2,700 people to achieve qualifications and futures that might not otherwise have been possible.
The Trust is in a period of evolution and we would expect the incoming Chief Executive to have an overlap with the current postholder with the express intention of creating new opportunities to develop the Trust as an organisation in order to make a significant difference in the experience of disabled students and those who support them. This may involve reviewing the current portfolio of funding and creating and implementing a 3 to 5 year forward looking strategy for the organisation.
The job description will be flexible to reflect the future direction of the Trust but it would be expected that the ideal candidate will have:
• Proven experience in strategic planning and delivering a growth/development pathway
• Knowledge of relevant legislation and the practical implications for learning/studying with a disability and/or an understanding of disability from a personal experience perspective
• Ability to act as ambassador for the charity including the ability to represent the charity’s aims to the directors of companies, Members of Parliament, and trustees of charitable bodies with a view to increasing support for the charity and extending its income generation, evidence of fundraising experience would be a distinct advantage
• Experience in personnel management and motivation in a small office environment (currently five part-time members of staff). Whilst the physical office is based in Horsham, it may, in time, be possible to create a remote working or virtual office
• Experience in financial control such as liaising with auditors and accountants, preparation of budgets and budgetary control, salaries and taxation, office and personal insurances.
The position is currently part time (around 25 hours per week), but this will be negotiable depending on fulfilling the needs of the Trust.
Applicants should e-mail a covering letter of not more than 2 sides addressing the ideal candidate specification and stating salary expectations along with a CV.
Closing date: Applications to be received by the Trust no later than 16th August 2020

Mary Frances Trust (MFT) is a charity established in 1994 by people who used mental health services, carers and professionals to support people with any mental or emotional wellbeing problems. MFT is a lead provider of non-clinical mental wellbeing services in Surrey.

Our Mission

Our mission is to:

• Work alongside people experiencing any kind of emotional or mental health issues for as long as they need and inspire them to develop the skills that will help them to restore and maintain their emotional wellbeing.

• Involve people with experience of mental health at every level of the organisation so they can help us design, deliver, monitor, and review our services to ensure they respond to their changing needs.

• Consistently challenge stigma attached to mental illness and raise awareness of the importance for everyone to look after their mental wellbeing.

• Lead and co-ordinate the development and delivery of first-class, voluntary mental health services in Surrey.

• Maintain sufficient funding streams to be able to provide person-centered services to people experiencing any kind of emotional or mental issues.

Main purpose of the post

To empower people with lived experience of mental health problems to unitise their expertise to improve the way mental health services are developed, reviewed, and delivered through co-production and involvement.

Co-production is where professionals and people with lived experience of mental health conditions work together to plan and deliver support, in partnership. It has been described as “a meeting of minds coming together to find shared solutions.” (Think Local Act Personal)

It’s also about people working together so that we move away from ‘doing to’ people to an approach that is ‘doing with’.

At Mary Frances Trust we have a long history of ‘working with’ people who use our services on an individual level.

We would like to however, take another step up and, recognising there is a room for improvement, focus and commit to full co-production also on service and strategic level – through our Advisory Group.

We recognise that, especially on the strategic level (Advisory Group) people may want to only engage on temporary basis and only some people may be willing to commit their time and knowledge.

It will be for the Co-production & Community Engagement Worker to work with the Advisory Group to increase the members’ skills and knowledge so that they could meaningfully contribute to the strategic development of the Mary Frances Trust. 

To do this, the Co-Production worker will need to understand the needs of the people using the service, while also having an awareness of the operational requirements of the Charity. This will enable better communication and understanding, so that Mary Frances Trust can be truly Co-Produced.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

1. Actively promote, coordinate and facilitate the work of Mary Frances Trust’s Advisory Group.

2. Outreach and community engagement to increase membership of the Advisory Group, across all areas of mental health and social care (secondary and primary, statutory and non-statutory) this includes but is not exhaustive of:

• Targeting minority groups and utilising creativity to engage people in ways that are meaningful for them.

• Regularly traveling to and engaging with people that use our services and service providers across the borough within their service settings; GP surgeries, recovery mental health teams, resource centres, supported housing, faith groups etc.

• Produce and distribute promotional materials

• Participate in Mary Frances Trust steering groups to e.g. participate in the co-designing of projects.

3. Facilitate a safe online platform for service users to engage with the Advisory Group, each other and providers, including webpage, blogs, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

4. Arrange forums, promote and support people who access our services to attend.

5. Offer support and personal development opportunities on an individual and group basis.

6. Regularly communicate with the Advisory Group providing relevant updates and external opportunities for co-production.

7. Co-produce pages for Mary Frances Trust “Communique” newsletter with people who use our services.

8. Embrace and facilitate creative ways for people to share their experience and get involved; e.g. photography, poetry, visual arts.

9. Support people who use services and external stakeholders to work collaboratively and in-line with co-production guiding principles.

10. Coordinate a pool of people who use our services who participate in staff recruitment internally and with external stakeholder organisations as and when required.

11. Create and maintain good networking with other relevant groups and organisations.

12. Maintain records and data and to provide reports as required.

13. Work within the policies and procedures of Mary Frances Trust and to attend meetings and training as required.

Through our award-winning Spear programme, we partner with local churches to work unemployed young people and support them to get into work or education. 89% have at least one indicator of disadvantage, and over 75% of program completers are still in work a year later.

Together with The Lighthouse team at Emmaus Road Church, Guildford, we are now recruiting for a Lead Coach to join a new Spear team opening in Guildford or Woking.

This exciting role as a Lead Coach will involve delivering training in life and career skills, and overseeing and taking responsibility for the recruitment of students to the programme. The successful applicant will be provided with professional training in leadership, personal development and coaching.

We are looking for someone with great people skills, a highly developed emotional intelligence and an enthusiastic and proactive temperament. Previous experience in training or coaching is preferred, and a confidence in leading and motivating groups is essential. Ideally, applicants would have been in work for a minimum of 2 years.

If you have a heart for transforming urban communities and seeing the direction of young people’s lives radically changed, this opportunity may be for you.

The programme is run in partnership with our partner churches and the role will require that the successful applicant attends the partner church. For more information on where roles are available and the partner churches these are based at, please get in touch with our People & Culture team.

In 2016 we were listed as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces in the ‘Great Place to Work’ Awards. In 2017 we won the Princess Royal Training Awards which honours employers that have created outstanding training and skills development programmes.

This is an exciting time in our diocese, with the launch of the vision of Transforming Church, Transforming Lives in 2016 leading to significant new missional energy in many of our churches, chaplaincies and schools. It’s been especially encouraging to witness the development of around 80 new worshipping communities since the launch, including four major projects in areas of new housing.

Over the past two years we have moved our diocesan teams into new, attractive, open-plan offices on the University of Surrey Research Park; and more recently we have embarked on a major review of the services we offer, seeking to ensure that our diocesan strategy gets well embedded, that our resources are efficiently managed, and that Church House Guildford is genuinely scratching where the parishes are itching.

We are looking for a proven practitioner and skilled technical and digital professional who can help us shape, plan and deliver the migration of our processes, systems and information to web-based services. In doing so you will help us to further streamline and improve our workflows at Church House whilst also making it easier for our parishes to access information.

We want someone with the right mix of experiences who can challenge, inspire and deliver in this area of specialism, but also a colleague who shares the passion and heart to reach and serve communities in this place.

The role is for 14 hours per week (work pattern negotiable) on a fixed term contract for 12 months. Our salaries are competitive within the charity sector with a generous non-contributory pension provision. Due to the Covid pandemic, we are currently able to work remotely from the safety of our own homes.

Background to role

NHS England recently announced a new transformation fund to be allocated to pilot sites within 12 Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships / Integrated Care Systems across the country to test new and integrated models of primary and community mental health care. Surrey Heartlands Health and Care Partnership is one of these successful pilot sites.

One of the elements of this new approach to supporting people in their communities is focused on people with some of the difficulties associated with a diagnosis of Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder and includes close partnership working between Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and a specialist mental health third sector organisation.

The Peer Support Worker will be working closely with a mental health practitioner to deliver regular Service User Network (SUN) groups in different community-based locations across Surrey.

The SUN (Service User Network) is an initiative aimed at improving services for people with personality disorders.

The SUN provides community-based, open access peer support groups and aims to help people develop effective ways of coping, reduce emergencies, and improve access to appropriate services. 

Those accessing the SUN may or may not have a formal diagnosis of personality disorder however, all members will have experienced longstanding emotional difficulties, isolation and are very likely to demonstrate unhelpful patterns of behaviour.

Fundamental to creating empowerment and engagement in the SUN Project is the therapeutic community principle, that the effectiveness of the service depends upon engaging group members in the task of running, delivery, development, and evaluation of the service. The utilisation of SUN members’ own resources and expertise is integral to the model of peer support upon which the SUN groups are based.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

• To work alongside a Mental Health Practitioner (MHP) and deliver regular SUN groups in the community.
• To work in collaboration with the MHP and the SUN members to:
  • promote peer support and reduce isolation;
  • improve coping skills of its members;
  • reduce the number of crises that require urgent and unplanned responses from services;
  • facilitate access to other services and sources of support.
• To use own wisdom of lived experience of mental health problems to support the development and knowledge of people using the service.
• To follow the protocols and guidelines for effective working. 
• To take full responsibility for understanding and applying professional boundaries.
• To ensure that any potential risk is being constantly assessed within a culture of positive risk taking.
• To contribute information regarding the safety and wellbeing of the people who access the service.
• To assist people in understanding their rights and choices within the service.
• To encourage and motivate people to take an active role in their own recovery.

• To positively promote and support independence for people in the community.

• To actively contribute towards the evaluation of the service.

• To keep up to date documentation and take on all the necessary administrative duties.

• To report any areas of concern to the senior team, in line with Risk Management Policy.

• To actively engage in clinical and managerial supervisions.

• To undertake all the required training in line with the development of the post and as agreed with the manager.

• To maintain up to date knowledge of legislation, national and local policies and issues in relation to Personality Disorder, peer support and mental health.

• To attend clinical, business and service development meetings as required.

• To assist in the promotion of the service through active liaison, meetings, and presentations with people who access services, staff and other organisations.

• To comply with all relevant policies, procedures and guidelines.

• To undertake any relevant duties as requested.

• To attend any relevant training as and when required.
