Wormholt and White City has been selected as one of 150 neighbourhoods which are part of the Big Lottery’s “Big Local” programme, a £1 Million ten year initiative matched by Hammersmith United Charities with a further million. The programme is driven by a resident led Partnership Board which consulted extensively over a two year period and developed a strategic community plan. We are almost three years into the delivery of this 10 year plan.  Based on the emerging needs and development of our Big Local Programme, it became apparent that a Marketing and Communication Coordinator is crucial in the development of the Big Local Programme and we are looking for maternity cover in this role.

This is a rare opportunity for a committed and passionate marketing enthusiast to join the  existing Big Local team and further develop the work of the current postholder. If you have strong people, marketing and communications skills and an interest in community development, we would love to hear from you. Committed to quality, equality and valuing diversity, we welcome applications that reflect the cultural diversity of the communities within which we work. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check.

We would strongly recommend you view our website to get a better picture of what our programme has achieved so far www.ourbiglocal.org.uk

PROJECT CO-ORDINATOR – COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS, BAYONNE & FIELD ROAD ESTATES

Part-time position, three days per week, five years’ fixed term to June 2021

£24,000 p.a. full-time equivalent salary (£14,400 p.a.)

 

HFVC – Hammersmith and Fulham Volunteer Centre – has been awarded a new five-year contract funded by the Public Health Service in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The project will tackle health inequalities and promote healthy living by engaging the local community in the Bayonne and Field Road estates area of Fulham Reach, Hammersmith & Fulham. It will encompass a wide range of resident-driven elements, which could range from fitness classes, cookery events, well-being activities, training and more. This new contract gives us the opportunity to expand our Volunteering Services team.

We are looking for a pro-active, approachable, motivated and well-organised individual to co-ordinate this project. An early task will be to recruit and manage a team of volunteer Community Champions from the Bayonne and Field Road estates. Community Champions are neighbourhood residents who volunteer their time to connect local people with local healthcare services, who are in tune with the needs, aspirations and issues of their community. As this team will deliver important project outputs, it’s essential that the Project Co-ordinator has experience of motivating, managing and retaining volunteers.

The engagement activities are expected to include front-line work such as street outreach, door knocking and two-way conversations with estate residents about health issues as well as with organisations and campaigns who can provide health support, information and awareness. The Project Co-ordinator requires excellent communication skills across all these channels, as they will deliver some of the work in person as well as training and supporting the Community Champions. They will be at ease working with diverse audiences, from estate residents to highly technical medical staff. They will have empathy to assist residents in making informed choices about health and well-being. In addition, they will feedback users’ priorities and views to healthcare commissioners to guide strategic direction.

The duties and person characteristics of the Project Co-ordinator include:

• Recruitment, retention, supervision and support of volunteer team members as Bayonne and Field Road Community Champions
• Organise training courses for this team and other audiences
• Co-ordinate outreach and engagement of hard-to-reach communities
• Demonstrate compassion and empathy with diverse communities; be committed to diversity and equal opportunities; ensure representative participation in project activities
• Undertake and oversee project delivery, including research, regular/ one-off activities, public health information campaigns, and more
• Work in partnership with other third-sector and public-sector organisations
• Represent HFVC and be the voice of estate residents at appropriate meetings and forums
• Market and publicise the project, e.g. case studies, news items, website, newsletters
• Manage project budget and petty cash process
• Be self-sufficient with communications and database technology such as MS Outlook, Excel and Word; previous knowledge of a CRM and/or monitoring database is desirable
• Demonstrate good time management and a well-organised, autonomous work style
• Evaluate and monitor project progress, e.g. record-keeping, data analysis, regular reporting for funder, line manager and Trustees.

Some project activities are likely to take place on occasional weekends and/or evenings. Time off in lieu is provided.

As a Volunteer Centre, we value your volunteering experience highly, as well as your paid work history. We aim to be an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
