Jobs in Charlton

Inside Job consultant – Social Impact - London

Passionate about making a real difference? Want to help shape and grow a dynamic employment initiative that is reducing reoffending and changing lives by helping people who have served a sentence into work?

About us

Inside Job, is an Employment Consultancy with a difference. It was co-created by a serving prisoner, who is very much part of Our Team, and the Charity, Beating Time. Recognising the huge barriers people who have served a sentence face to re-entering the workplace, we realised a specialized service was needed. A service which collapses the space between Employers, who want to use their recruitment policies to achieve social impact, and people who are in prison. A service which understands those challenges and works collaboratively to remove them. Employment reduces reoffending by 50% - this is a job worth doing.

Inside Job is unique in 2 ways:

1. We recruit and train serving prisoners as Recruitment Consultants who provide us with our candidate pipeline and work closely alongside us.

2. We take employers into prison to interview Candidates. Job offers are made there and then.

We are an award-winning organisation (Winner of the Robin Corbett award 2020 for prison reintegration & 2 High Sheriff awards) and are powered by individuals who are fuelled by purpose and passionate about what we do.  

About the role

This role will support and work alongside our London Programme Lead and the Senior Management team. You will also work alongside our prison peer-led team in HMP/YOI Isis and any other London Prisons we take on.

Support our Peer-led Recruiters in custody to identify and support Inside Job candidates. Assist with CV and Disclosure writing and help build a pipeline of candidates.

Work closely with the Prison Employment Lead and build a strong relationship with the relevant prison staff in the Activities and Resettlement Teams and at Governor level to support and facilitate Inside Job.

Support the London Programme Lead to engage employers and plan monthly interview surgeries.

Build relationships with the identified local and national employers and to promote Inside Job and Beating Time to them.

Support our Job Candidates to find work in the community on release from prison.

Support the Inside Job Team and the Senior Management Team in drawing up and developing a strategy to identify and target local and national employers in a range of fields who can offer jobs to people leaving prison.

Building relationships with local Probation offices and staff, DWP/Local Authority initiatives and Police & Crime Commissioner/Violence Reduction Unit and any other official and/or relevant third sector/voluntary organisations to promote Inside Job and Beating Time to them with the aim of creating more referrals and opportunities for Candidates, creating stronger support networks for Candidates and Inside Job and to help embed Inside Job and Beating Time as a key part of the community.

Keeping up to date records with all relevant data on the Beating Time system to assist with monitoring the effectiveness of the programme, supporting funding applications, reporting to prisons and funders and to allow review and adaptation of the strategy.

Background

Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia: a progressive and complex condition that can be devastating for the whole family. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime – either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.

Purpose of the job/about the role

Dementia UK has entered into an exciting three-year corporate partnership with a national partner to bring face-to-face Admiral Nursing to the high street at locations across the UK.

You will be working within a defined area within one of the following regions, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, England (Northern, Central, South-West, South-East, and London).

As part of the national Clinics Programme Team, you will provide in-person biopsychosocial support and advice, sharing your specialist dementia nursing expertise to help families manage the complexities of the condition. Your focus will be on supporting family carers, people affected by dementia, and professionals who require specialist dementia guidance in areas of the UK where Admiral Nurse services are currently unavailable, bringing a much-needed service directly to local communities. Throughout your work, you will consistently promote Admiral Nursing and a family-centred approach to dementia care.

You will receive full support with your continuous professional development from the Admiral Nurse Academy.

As this unique nursing role offers you the opportunity to travel within your defined region, which may include some overnight stays, flexibility will be essential. When not delivering face-to-face clinics, you will work from home, which may include providing support on our Admiral Nurse Helpline.

To apply, you must be a registered nurse with the NMC, have significant experience in dementia care, and demonstrate a history of supporting people with dementia and their families and carers.

This is a truly exciting and varied role where your expertise will have a genuine impact on people in need of support that would otherwise not be available in their locality. Join us in making a difference to the lives of those affected by dementia and helping ensure no one faces dementia alone.

Our culture

In addition to a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. It’s important for us to create a working environment that looks after our workforce to achieve their full potential. You will become part of a diverse and dedicated team who are supported to use and develop their skills. We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia.

Our staff have a voice. Representatives from different roles and levels across the organisation positively contribute and lead on our working groups around health and wellbeing, menopause, and equality, diversity and inclusion.

Dementia UK is proud to welcome everyone, we aim for a truly inclusive culture with talented, diverse teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We celebrate difference and individuality and encourage everyone to join us and be their whole selves always.
