About us

Around 10 million adults and 12,000 children, have a musculoskeletal condition in the UK today. We are a professional membership organisation and registered charity with the mission of ‘Caring for Patients, Supporting Surgeons’ working with our members to deliver excellence in surgical care and restore pain free mobility.

Our activities include influencing and engagement, professional practice, research and training and education. We have over 5,000 members worldwide, the majority based in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Membership is made up of consultants (active or retired), surgeons in training and staff and associate specialist grades (SAS).

Are you highly organised, resourceful, and passionate about making a difference? The Baobab Centre is seeking an Operations and Admin Assistant to support our vital work with young asylum seekers and refugees.

In this varied role, you’ll work closely with the Operations Manager and admin team to ensure the smooth running of our Centre by managing administrative tasks, assisting with IT and communications, and supporting operations and fundraising initiatives. You’ll also play a part in amplifying the voices of our community through social media and helping with community engagement activites.

If you’re a motivated individual with strong administrative and IT skills, a commitment to human rights, and an interest in supporting vulnerable young people, we’d love to hear from you.

This role is for 3 days per week depending on your preference. Working on Wednesdays is essential to provide reception cover.

ABOUT US:

The Baobab Centre is a non-residential therapeutic community that supports young asylum seekers and refugees who have experienced human rights abuses and have sought asylum in the UK as unaccompanied minors. Our two focus areas are rehabilitation and justice.

Please read the additional information below alongside the full Job Description and Person Specification attached.

Mental Health:  All of the young people Baobab supports suffer significant mental health and developmental difficulties and many function in an unstable and more immature way than their chronological age. Due to their experiences it takes time to gain trust from the young people in our community. As a core member of our team, you will understand the impact of specific human rights abuses on the development of children and young people in exile and their individual experiences of loss, trauma and grief on their mental health and well-being. 

Baobab’s Model: Please read the accompanying ‘Baobab Clinical Context and Model’ document for a detailed introduction. It often takes a significant amount of time to understand Baobab’s model of working, which aims for rehabilitation and justice through attending to both the internal and external world of each young. It is important that you strive to have an insight to the experiences of both the internal and external factors impacting on the lives of unaccompanied young people attending our centre. It is also important that you understand the ways in which UK society and policy impacts on young asylum seekers (including invisibility, marginalisation, discrimination, and the fact of waiting in uncertainty for a long time).

Multi-disciplinary Working: Baobab aims to be a reflective, thinking organisation and we place a high value on shared thinking time, sharing responsibilities and working together with others. A key aspect of the role is communicating and working in a holistic way.

We pride ourselves on being a values-driven organisation, and we’re looking for a likeminded fundraiser to join the team in this new role.

Blending storytelling with statistics, events management with stakeholder engagement, and research with data protection, this varied role would be ideal for someone with an interest in criminal justice who communicates as well in person as they do on paper.

You don’t need to have been a fundraiser before, but experience in a similar position – with that mix of relationship building, words and numbers – would be beneficial.

Research tells us that marginalised groups of people may not apply for jobs unless they meet 100% of the criteria. We also know that fundraisers come from many backgrounds with different experiences that might not seem “standard” – and that’s okay! We value people who bring unique perspectives and knowledge to our team.

You might not feel like you check all the boxes as you read this job pack. That could be because of impostor syndrome or a confidence gap, especially if you’ve been marginalised or excluded in the past. But we hope you’ll apply anyway because what’s most important to us is having shared values and attitudes to work – the rest we can work on through our culture of feedback and development.

Due to expansion of the team, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) has an exciting opportunity for a forward thinking and dynamic individual with knowledge of both physiotherapy and healthcare education to take on the role of Education Adviser within the Workforce and Education team.

In this role, you will undertake quality assurance and enhancement work with providers of physiotherapy education and will progress project work in areas aligned with developments in UK physiotherapy education. The role has a particular focus on ensuring innovative approaches to curriculum design and practice education, whilst taking account of changing patient needs, population health, service delivery models and contemporary developments in physiotherapy practice. The post holder will work with members to engage with developments relating to education delivery, commissioning and workforce planning; and support Higher Education Institutions in creating new pre- and post-registration programmes that support the creation of a physiotherapy workforce fit for the future.

You will also contribute to broader CSP education activity. This includes formulating position statements in key policy areas, undertaking education review processes and continuing to strengthen our links with physiotherapy education providers across the UK, again taking account of changes across health and social care and the university sector. In this role, you will work with other members of the CSP across the directorates to support corporate activity in line with the CSPs corporate strategy.

The post will suit someone with a developed knowledge of physiotherapy and healthcare education, who has the insight and skills to pick up project briefs swiftly and to progress activity to completion within tight timeframes. It requires someone with strong skills in networking, project management, communication, negotiation, policy analysis and drafting accessible written materials.  We are particularly seeking someone who has experience in the post-graduate physiotherapy education space. 

The role is home based, however you will be required to travel regularly across the UK, including to the CSP London office, to meet the requirements of this role.
