Community Coordinator

ECHO is seeking a new community-building superstar to join our small but hardworking charity supporting children and young people with heart conditions and their families.

You will play a major role in developing a new community forum on the ECHO website, reaching out to families and professionals across the paediatric cardiology community.

You will act as a link between parents, medical professionals and information providers and be of assistance to them all.

The day-to-day job of Community Coordinator will be to build and improve the way parents/carers can ask questions, find information, and get support from the moment of diagnosis right through to adulthood.

This job will suit someone who wants to make a difference to families, someone who understands the value of high quality and reliable information and someone who can take the time to make someone else smile.

The Job Description gives you an idea of what we are looking for - what we would love is someone who can bring ideas and see them through to delivery on a small budget and in a small team. Someone who values volunteers and who can get things done.

Setting up a new online forum might not be easy, we have some technical support, but you will work with volunteers and partners to get it working and moderated safely, within necessary guidelines and policies. When monitoring and replying to forum posts, you will need to be knowledgeable and professional in your signposting ability.

Much of your work will be online but some will be face to face meeting parents, children, doctors, psychologists, administrators, and charity professionals - you will need to be open-minded and have a positive attitude.

Supporting families as they experience their heart journey can be tough; we support you with a fun and friendly team, regular wellbeing activities and monthly external supervision. As a thank you we gift staff some extra holiday days, and we encourage personal development and training.

We are a small team, there may at times be a need for help with a children’s party, a fundraising letter to a company or presenting to a medical team about the work we do. Our work is based mainly from the ECHO office, but we are flexible and ad-hoc travel to events and activities will be necessary.

ECHO seeks to ensure we achieve diversity in our workforce regardless of gender, race, religious belief, nationality, ethnic/national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability. ECHO welcomes applications from all candidates, including underrepresented groups and refugees who have the right to work in the UK. ECHO will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable adjustments to participate in the job application and/or interview process, and for essential job function if appointed to the role. Please contact us if you may need such adjustments.

3. Advice & Advocacy 

Elays Network is seeking a Community Engagement Coordinator to work closely with our team to facilitate the Health & Wellbeing programme among our community, specifically supporting adults and elderly members. Reporting to the director, the Community Engagement Coordinator will support achieving the outcomes of the externally funded Health & Wellbeing programme through the coordination and delivery of Elays Adult projects that consist of education and training, health and well-being and advice and advocacy - with specific focus on the impact of Covid- 19 and vaccination uptake. 

The aim of this post will be to support our director in building work that:

• Improves the engagement with public health and local authority initiatives, by setting up workshops with the public health and community both involved in the design of the project. 

• Keeps the community involved - this work will be focusing on creating written and visual materials that will benefit the community and dispel myths about Covid- 19 and vaccines.

• Reflects on the pandemic - we want to gather stories and experiences from the community about the impact of covid-19 on them and create bridges between the community and public health on how they can best be supported. 

• Keeps the community informed by creating platforms for communities to get the right information about Covid-19, new restrictions and most importantly Covid-19 vaccination related topics. 

• improves the lives of our local community through health and wellbeing workshops and campaigns  to help families stay healthy and fit. Advocacy and advice support, by creating useful materials alongside our advisor which will support families who are really struggling throughout this pandemic. 

The project will offer:

• an opportunity to be involved in becoming ambassadors within the community- ensuring our community stays supported throughout the pandemic and its aftermath. 

• an opportunity to work alongside the public health and Elays Network in building projects for their needs with their voices in the fabric of the project plan. 

• an opportunity to learn about the facts about the virus and vaccine and to be able to identify myths.

• Workshops, materials and support provided for the communities that need them the most keeping them digitally connected, informed and involved with how information is spread and created in the local community. 

This a very proactive and balanced role, aiding both delivered at our centre and in local restaurants, coffee shops, masjids/mosques - spaces the community have created and manage themselves. This programme will be supporting our Health & Wellbeing objectives and will work in partnership with Wandsworth Council, the NHS and other agencies. Elays Network  particularly welcomes applications from individuals who speak somali as a first/second language.
