Organisational Development and Office Coordinator (ODOC)

Self Help UK is a voluntary sector organisation which was established in 1982. We promote and encourage self-help groups to empower individuals to take better control of their circumstances or conditions, gain strength from others, and improve their self-care. Our mission is that together with our national network, we inspire and support self-help leaders through connection, skills, and influence. Our vision is for self-help leaders to make the biggest possible difference. For more people to feel empowered and able to actively take control of their own health and wellbeing. The charity works directly with individuals and groups locally in Nottinghamshire and across the country who are involved in self-help and community development. Within SHUK itself there are several delivery streams including: Cancer Support Services (including the Beyond Diagnosis project & our PCN work), Deaf Support Services (including the Deaf Cancer Support Project), Community Outreach and our online Learning Centre. Each of these distinct departments already has an operational leader, so this role of ODOC will contribute support to these existing departmental leaders, through the smooth coordination of various operational tasks.

This role sits in the heart of the charity in terms of coordinating and bringing together several important operational and strategic functions. These functions include:

• Human Resources (HR), including Health and Safety.

• Finance administration (to support the Finance Manager and other departmental managers).

• Office management (including facilities and IT).
