About Age Concern Colchester & North East Essex

Age Concern Colchester & North East Essex is a charitable organisation that looks after the welfare of individuals of 60 years+ to support making life better in later years. Key ways that we do this are: -

- To provide support in identifying benefit applications and support in completion - £1.3m per year in benefits delivered
- A befriending service matching individuals with the needs of the older generation - we have 150+ people befriended
- Developing Volunteering in the Charity and to benefit our Community
- Connecting people in later years through clubs, activities and interest groups

The charity has gone through significant growth over the last couple of years and is now an independent charity but reaches people across Colchester and North East Essex. Recently we have been asked to deliver a pioneering new service across North East Essex in partnership with St Helena Hospice and CVS Tendring. It is for this reason that we are looking for an Operations Manager in a project called Compassionate Companions to lead this new initiative.

The project is to provide friendship (non-clinical) for individuals who have chosen to manage their end of life at home through My Care Choices or otherwise between the hours of 8am-8pm 7 days a week.

What do we offer?

Age Concern is a friendly and enjoyable place to work. We work hard but also enjoy some downtime together. This is essential due to the nature of our work. We all have tougher days and need to be there for each other to work through these days when they happen. Leading a team to support people at end of life needs a unique individual. We are an extremely caring organisation and so are the partners in the program being developed. It is essential that this same sympathy and empathy is displayed from the person who leads this work now and into the future.

The opportunity is about creating something unique and therefore it would suit someone who has a pioneering approach to make good plans, trial activity, listen well, learn from mistakes and iterate on a continuous basis. There is requirement to report activity into a large Board of multiple partners outside of the three main delivery partners. This is particularly important as the earlier phases of the project develops. The ideal candidate would have developed something from scratch either in a charity, a health setting or in some other way supporting those at of end of life.

We offer excellent coaching and support from both colleagues and the senior team. We appreciate that starting an operation from the outset can be a challenge. The good news is that we have established systems and structures that allow us to support getting things locally up and off the ground well. There is an existing befriending unit operating in Colchester, Witham and Tendring District which includes a manager, team leader and two coordinators. 

We have recently appointed the Operations Manager - Befriending and Friendship Clubs and you will have the benefit of recruiting a coordinator to provide administrative support for some of the day to day activity. We are also able to draw on expertise and support from our partners in St Helena Hospice and CVS Tendring who are accomplished in managing and developing projects.

There is potential for career development due to the growth of Age Concern Colchester & North East Essex.

What are we looking for?

- Develop capability within the team by developing individuals
- Model excellence for the team, volunteers and those we work with
- Create our story for Compassionate Companions, manage the budget and write grants for continuity beyond the pilot
- Work closely with the Befriending & Friendship Groups Manager to ensure information is captured
- Work closely with the coordinator and volunteers to listen, learn and evolve the service

Befriending Activities

- To recruit, train and inspire a successful team of compassionate companion volunteers
- In conjunction with the Befriending & Friendship Groups Manager and our partners develop and evolve the service

- Put processes in place to ensure Salesforce for Charities is effective; work with the Salesforce Developer
- Work closely with the coordinator and volunteers to listen, learn and evolve the service
- Support bereaved families by ensuring the right referral systems are in place

Your Qualities

- You will need to be outgoing, confident and able to juggle a range of priorities well
- The amount of work on Word, Computer Systems and general admin is busy so proficiency is essential
- We are looking for an inspirational leader who is keen to develop a new service and the team
- Able to understand the confidential nature of our work and put in place relevant safeguarding and monitoring procedures
- You will have a genuine desire to make a difference to people in very challenging personal circumstances

Key Questions to ask before applying?

- Do you have experience on ground-up project launches in either the third sector or health sector?
- Do you have extensive experience of working with volunteers in projects?
- Do you thrive on developing others?
- Do you have experience working in tough environments such as end of life (or similar)?
- Are you comfortable with developing a service and associated funding applications?

Practical Considerations

- All our staff and volunteers go through the DBS process and thorough vetting (no costs)
- The role involves a balance of work on a PC and a degree of travelling across North East Essex
- You will need to have a car, licence and before joining business class insurance.
- Often we deal with people who are upset and distressed. We need an individual who is a calming influence on others and can keep a cool head, think logically and be prepared to find support before jumping to a resolution

The role is 37.5 hours a week from 9am-5pm Mon - Fri although some flexibility may be required to support outside of regular hours as volunteers operate from 8am-8pm. There is current funding for a 1-year Fixed-Term Contract although because it is a pilot there is the opportunity for future funding built-in to the programme review.

Finally, team is really important to us. You will be pivotal to developing a positive culture in the befriending unit for those we serve, other charities and the wider team as we grow. If you like a new challenge and are a good fit for the above apply today to join us on our mission at Age Concern Colchester & North East Essex and the shared mission of our partners St Helena Hospice and CVS Tendring to make life better in later years.

Background

Medact supports the health community to work together towards a world in which everyone can truly achieve and exercise their human right to health. We cover some of the most pressing national and global threats to health and wellbeing including climate change; human rights abuses; conflict and violence; and rising inequality. We’re member-led, and our membership spans a range of people who work in health including nurses, doctors, midwives, and clinical researchers.

Climate change is a public health emergency, damaging the health and lives of millions of people around the world. But so much of the public discourse ignores or gives insufficient weight to the health impacts of a changing climate, and the ways in which these impacts affect different communities in unequal ways.

Healthcare workers have a uniquely powerful voice in political discussions on climate change. There’s huge energy around the issue right now, and an exciting opportunity to bring large numbers of people together to campaign in ways which will have real impact. We believe the health community has huge potential to drive progressive social change - come work with us to help make that a reality.

About the role

Medact’s Climate Organiser will work alongside colleagues to deliver a strategy to harness the energy and the public mandate of the health community in tackling the climate crisis. The role will involve a lot of time out of the office, building relationships among healthcare workers and supporting them to develop into confident, effective campaigners and organisers.

About you

You’ll be passionate about empowering people to campaign to stop the climate crisis, and have experience working with volunteers in a campaigning context. A great listener and communicator, you’ll be skilled at building trusting relationships and managing difficult conversations. You’ll have a good understanding of how to use online techniques to engage people, and won’t be scared to test new digital tools. Experience working in health or with the health community would help, but isn’t essential.

How to apply

Please upload a CV and a cover letter of no more than two A4 pages setting out why you are interested in the role, and how you meet the person specification using the form on our website

Please do not state when or where you were educated on your application.

Please also complete a copy of our monitoring form.

If your application is shortlisted, we will invite you to an interview. Interviews will involve a presentation, for which we will ask you to prepare in advance; a written task; and a conversation with a panel of interviewers.

We are happy to reimburse shortlisted candidates for travel costs; childcare costs; and lost wages incurred as a result of attending an interview.

Help applying

For advice on how to write your application, see attached for our guide on how to write a cover letter to apply for our Climate Organiser role.

We also have a member of the team on hand to talk to any candidates who would like further advice on whether or how to apply.
