The Bridge Renewal Trust in partnership with Haringey GP Federation and other multisector agencies are delivering a new programme which involves identification, management and interventions to improve access, experience and outcomes for people from the Black African and Caribbean backgrounds with Cardiovascular (CVD) and lung diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD) as patients from these communities are at greater risk of developing these and other Long Term Conditions (LTCs).
As a Community Support Worker (CSW), you will help individuals on a 1-2-1 basis, reviewing social, economic, housing and employment needs. You will proactively reach out and contact individuals from the African and Caribbean communities using data provided by the Haringey GP Federation. You will encourage and support individuals throughout their decision-making process in a culturally competent manner by answering questions about the service, and why attending their health care appointments is important, particularly for those living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); helping dispel any fears and misinformation about the type of care they will receive from the clinical team. This is a new and exciting approach to working with the targeted communities with LTCs in Haringey.
The Bridge Renewal Trust is a charity that delivers practical ways that people can live healthier, long and fulfilling lives – thus playing our part in working towards reducing health inequalities and building healthier and stronger communities.
First and foremost, we are looking for someone who understands the needs of people with Long-Term Condition issues and has excellent interpersonal skills and an ability to form peer relationships with service users and carers. Additionally, experience of caring or working in with the community and demonstrable links with the African and/or Caribbean communities would be beneficial.
This is a unique opportunity to join a progressive organisation where we value and reward the performance of our staff.

About OCD Action:
OCD Action is the UK’s leading charity for everyone affected by Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We exist because it takes 7-8 years on average for people affected by OCD to get the treatment that they need. OCD is debilitating and isolating, but it is treatable.
At OCD Action we have a vision of a time when OCD is well understood, and everyone gets the treatment and support they need when they need it. With the OCD community, we are fighting for this. Until that day arrives, we are working to ensure everyone affected by OCD has access to the high-quality support, information, and guidance they need.
A vital part of achieving our vision is ensuring we are building community and raising awareness of both the reality of living with OCD and the fact that it is a highly treatable condition.
About this role:
This post is pivotal to our fundraising strategy and will:
· Lead the development and oversee delivery of OCD Action’s Individual Giving programmes both online and offline
· Work with the CEO to lead the development of small and medium Trust applications
· Oversee the Trust pipeline process and that we comply with all trust reporting arrangements
Working at OCD Action:
It is important that working with us works for you. This is why we have an attractive benefits package, including flexible working and hybrid working.
We believe that diversity drives improvement and creativity. This fosters the environment needed to ensure we can do and be the best we can for the OCD community. We actively employ, and pro-actively seek to employ people with lived experience of intersectional disadvantage.
