Who we are:
Founded in 1992 by a group of mental health professionals, Working Well Trust was established to address the issue of low employment rates for people who have experienced mental health issues. Since starting we have seen advances in the specialist support offered to people seeking employment and a change in cultural attitudes towards mental health.
In the last few years we have adapted this approach to work with people with Autism (ASD), people with learning difficulties, physical disabilities or complex issues including homelessness or addiction.
We focus on four main areas:
Employment Support – offering support that meets the individual’s needs using both the traditional stepped approach and the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model.
Employer support – enabling the recruitment and retention of their employees.
Social Enterprises – we offer training within social enterprises for people who want to gain a new skill, increase their confidence and be part of a team.
Business and Enterprise support – providing one to one advice to clients who wish to start up or expand an enterprise.
Co-production - Working Well remains committed to the principles of the recovery model and continuously improve its services through co-production.
Role Purpose:
Work Well is a government funded programme that offers an early-intervention work and health support and assessment service. This provides holistic support to overcome health-related barriers to employment, and a single, joined-up gateway to other support services.
We work in partnership with mental and/or physical health clinical teams, GP practices and other referral partners who refer clients who are currently in employment but are experiencing difficulties in the workplace and require assistance to help them return to work, remain in work or find new employment. This programme will also support those who have fallen out of work to get the support they need to return to employment. That support will be tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
We need a Work and Health Coach to provide highly effective support to individuals and guide them on their journey to returning, remaining or finding new employment while also supporting them to improve their health and wellbeing. The Work and Health Coach will also be instrumental in supporting participants to remove health related barriers by sourcing and funding appropriate interventions.
Please refer to the Job Description and Person Specification for more details on this role.
Closing date: 30th September Midday
Interviews will be arranged throughout the application window, and we may close this vacancy early.

About upReach
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because right now a student from disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socioeconomic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.
To find out more about how we support our students, visit our website and read our Annual Report, and Impact Report.

BACKGROUND
Sundial delivers high quality education and training on harmful practices, such as female genital mutilation (FGM), “honour”-based abuse (HBA) and harmful body alterations. We offer safeguarding training for teams of professionals such as teachers, police and social workers. We also deliver lessons in schools, as well as workshops for community groups. We ensure people from FGM- and HBA- affected communities and young people are at the forefront of our work. Our training and education work is sensitive, on point and age appropriate. All of our training is delivered in pairs, with at least one facilitator being from a community affected by the harmful practice discussed in the session.
Harmful practices / topics covered in our training and lessons (not extensive list):
- FGM/C
- Forced marriage
- Spiritual abuse
- Intersectionality and domestic abuse
Healthy relationships and body image, including:
- Body image and smart phones
- The influence of pornography on young people
- The female genitalia (including learning on FGM/C and female cosmetic genital surgeries)
Sundial Centre for Education on Harmful Practices work in locations across the Thames Valley, as well as Birmingham. Our Lead Trainer will need to travel to these locations and having a driving licence and car will be preferable, as there will be equipment and materials to carry.
Job Description
You will deliver workshops on harmful practices and abuse issues to a high professional standard, together with a co-facilitator, and carry out administrative tasks as required for the effective delivery of our education programme.
Person Specification
You will ideally be from a community affected by a harmful practice such as FGM/C or “honour”-based abuse and forced marriage. This does not necessarily mean you personally have been affected, but you have a deep understanding of the issues from living in your community.
Your knowledge of the topic: You will need a strong understanding of violence against women and girls (VAWG), ideally having experience working in the VAWG sector. You will have a strong understanding of some or all of the topics that we deliver, in order to deliver workshops with a high level of expertise and answer any questions during the session. A good understanding of safeguarding pathways would be desirable. Please note we are confident that someone with experience in the VAWG sector would be able to upskill themselves, with our help, if there is a topic they are not familiar with, e.g. spiritual abuse.
High level of organisation:
You will need to communicate with our Schools Coordinator to understand the details of the session, including who the session is for, any special requirements of the group and who you will be working with. You will need to link with your co-facilitator ahead of the session to have a planning meeting, including discussing the content of the session, who will deliver which parts, and any specific needs of the group. You will need to plan your own travel (reimbursed) - this can be anywhere in the Thames Valley, Birmingham or occasionally London. You may also need to link with your co-facilitator on their travel arrangements.
Administration skills:
Whilst the bookings will be made by our Schools Coordinator, you will still be expected to do some administration, such as completing records after the session.
Time management:
You will need to have excellent time management skills, including arriving at the venue in time to set up and deal with any last minute unforeseen issues which may arise (e.g. a school's firewall blocking our film materials). You will also need to deliver the content allowing enough time for each section of the training. This will require being able to effectively work with your co-facilitator. Each session should be well paced with time for questions at the end.
You as a facilitator:
It is important that you are a confident facilitator, including being comfortable to speak in front of a large group and able to project your voice. You will also need to be dynamic and engaging, facilitating activities / discussion and using high impact teaching methods to keep the group engaged. You will also need to be confident managing lots of questions or someone ‘over speaking’. You need to be thoughtful and sensitive to everyone in the room, including trying to ‘see’ everyone, and being encouraging and non-judgemental. You need to be comfortable working with adults, children and young people.
You as a leader:
You will need to be comfortable taking the lead alongside your co-facilitator. This will include directing them if there are particular sections for them to deliver, and being clear on timings. You will need to feel comfortable giving peer feedback, including on language used during the session and timings. You will need to be motivational and encouraging as a lead, keeping things positive whilst also professional.
You as a representative of Sundial:
You will need to maintain a high level of professionalism as a trainer, showing interest in the client (e.g. the school safeguarding lead who has booked the sessions) and helping to build the relationship between them and Sundial. For example, you may be asked to join the client for lunch and this can be a great opportunity to discuss the needs of the school and possibly suggest other training sessions. You will need to help the client feel confident that the session will run smoothly and that the content will be appropriate for the audience.
