There has never been a more exciting time to join the HEY Smile Foundation team. Our work spans across the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), as well as connecting opportunities with the private and public sector.

We are connected, joining assets to community knowledge, creativity and inspiration. We are helping VCSE organisations of all shapes and sizes be heard and play a part in solutions, not just highlight community problems.

We have grown significantly in the last 11 years but are still agile enough to respond to the communities need, not prescribe the same methodology ‘because that’s what has always been done’.

We are sustainable in our own right. Whilst developing others, we have ensured we had one eye on our own platform, securing £3m in assets and generating an average of £800k turnover a year in earned income to by masters of our own destiny and focus on the Wow not Woe in our communities across the Hull, East Riding and Northern Lincolnshire.

A key function of our work is our Smile Health stream. We develop and lead NHS charities to make funds work harder, last longer and go further. We currently lead multiple NHS charities across the UK.

Locally we lead and support the Health Tree Foundation at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust and Health Stars at Humber NHS Teaching Foundation Trust.

As a result of NHS Charities Together recent successful COVID-19 Emergency Appeal, NHS Charities have been able to apply for those vital funds. Both Health Tree Foundation and Health Stars were recently successful in securing grant funding for a Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) Wellbeing and Wellness project for the Humber Coast and Vale Integrated Care System geographical footprint.

We wish to set up the project to help and support the BAME communities in our Integrated Care System who have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19.  The project will focus on, wellbeing, peer support and will be a place where we can connect people who have shared life experiences as well as a reach out befriending service for those who are shielding and self-isolating.

Our idea is based on the Manchester Resilience hub network and the work delivered by the charity NESTAC. Initially it will be a phone help line and an email contact service. Long term we hope to expand the service to being a physical hub.  We have entered into a partnership with NESTAC to get their support to establish the project.

We want to reach out and engage with our BAME community members and provide a sustainable support project which will adapt and grow to their needs.  We will adopt strategies for long term engagement, development and success.  Our project will take a holistic approach, including cultural, language and religious needs. We will provide one-to-one support to individuals as well as group support, workshops, family support and wellbeing screening whilst adhering to social distancing and Covid safety rules.

To lead on this project we are recruiting a BAME Wellbeing Coordinator.

The role will report to our Head of Smile Health and work across the two charities and NHS trusts. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who has knowledge of the Black, Asian, and Minority ethnic community to shape a project to have a huge impact.

Initially the role is fixed term for 12 months due to funding we have in place. We’d like to hope that within the year we will be able to apply for further funds to continue the role and would like to expand the project to serving more disadvantaged communities.

This is a development opportunity and we are looking for someone who is innovative and can help us to take this project to the next level.
