Social Enterprise Jobs

About Gaddum

At Gaddum, we treat everyone as individuals. We really get to know those we help, understanding their world to offer a range of support that’s right for them. Our promise of tailored support is made possible by our breadth and depth of knowledge, through our unwavering commitment to the local people of Greater Manchester.

Our experience listening to generation after generation, for nearly 200 years, has taught us the importance of considering not just the individual but also the relationships around them. Our innovative approach means we can, not only build resilience, but identify further risks and offer preventive support now and in the future. At Gaddum, we believe that by supporting individuals, we ultimately help support entire communities.

Our aim is to empower and enhance the lives of people in Greater Manchester.

Outline of service:

Gaddum and Manchester Mind have come together to provide a new and innovative service which will support people to leave inpatient mental health settings and return to their community with the support they need to recover and remain well.

As a team, we will deliver psycho-social interventions, advocacy, housing and welfare rights advice and peer support. There will also be tailored support to young people (those under the age of 25). All we do is underpinned by listening and ensuring people feel heard – because we know that when people are listened to, they recover. The team will be working with colleagues within the mental health, primary care, inpatient and community sectors.

Job summary:

As a Peer Support Worker, you will have lived or living experience of receiving mental health care or treatment. As an ‘Expert by Experience’ you will support peers (people with similar experiences to your own) who are ready to leave hospital after being treated for their mental health needs. Receiving support from your colleagues, you’ll develop and manage your casework practice and hold a small case load.

Walking alongside people prior to discharge from mental health hospital, you’ll support people in the discharge process to get the care they need, and then into a community setting where they can continue to recover and begin to explore their aspirations. Ultimately, people will feel connected to their communities – to the right services, friends and family.

This role will work with a small but intensive caseload (max 12 cases for a full-time peer support worker) to focus on:

· Repatriate: when people are sent to an out of area placement (OAPs) advocate to get them back to Greater Manchester so they can recover in their community.

· Discharge: Supporting people when they’re ready to be discharged from inpatient mental health services to get back to the community and recover.

· Prevent re-admissions: Work with people, post-discharge, to ensure they continue to get the support they need to make informed choices, stay well and ultimately thrive.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

· To provide bespoke support to people that are ready to be discharged from inpatient psychiatric care to return to the community, building (with support) packages of care so they have a positive and sustained recovery.

· To work alongside people post-discharge, in their community setting (e.g. home or supported accommodation) to ensure they get what they need to stay well.

· To effectively manage a small but intensive caseload (max 12 cases for a full time worker), being flexible to people’s needs and short-term changes in schedule.

· To work in a person-centred, trauma informed, empowering and culturally appropriate way that enables people to feel listened to and heard.

· To help people engage with services and make sustainable links with their communities.

· To use and develop your knowledge of community care, policies, legislation and services to get people the support they need to recover and stay well.

· Identify when cases need escalation or onward referral and keep your line manager aware of case developments.

· Independently visit people in inpatient and community settings in Manchester and across Greater Manchester, adhering to lone working and risk management procedures.

· Occasionally visit people out of the Greater Manchester area who need to return to their community in Manchester (all travel expenses will be paid and non-commute travel time will be part of your working day).

· Build relationships with colleagues within services (e.g. inpatient staff, social care, CMHTs etc) to enable improved collaborative working

· Take part in multi-disciplinary meetings, representing the views of people, and their aspirations on returning to community settings.

· Support the development of this new service, drawing on your role as an ‘Expert by Experience’ and using what you hear from the people you support to contribute to the development of the services by reviewing and contributing to improvements.

The post holder will be required to undertake other tasks as reasonably directed by the Programme Management and Senior Management Team, which will usually be commensurate with the skills and experience of the post-holder.

All staff aree expected to work within all Gaddum / Manchester Mind policies and procedures. This role is subject to a standard DBS check.

We are seeking a skilled and proactive Director. It’s not often such an opportunity arises: one that combines operational management of a dynamic local charity and social enterprise, with a pathway to taking on visionary leadership, driving further growth and innovation.

 As our Director of Operations you will be responsible for the operational excellence of our corporate functions, services and trading activities, helping to ensure our effectiveness, efficiency, strong financial performance and real impact.

You will bring a passion for making a difference, proven track record in operational management, preferably in a similar organisation, with a creative, problem-solving mindset and lots of skills and enthusiasm.

About Strength & Stem

Strength & Stem is a charity and social enterprise that uses floristry to empower female modern slavery survivors. We want to see female survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking restored from their trauma, empowered for the future, and able to sustain a good quality of life. We achieve our vision by offering an evidence-based, holistic programme. It incorporates tailored skills training (including vocational floristry, prevocational and wellbeing skills training), work experience, mentorship, and a supportive community. We run a nine-month programme each year, as well as alumni events and social cafes. The skills and experiences survivors gain through our programme create a lasting difference for them and their families through economic independence, strengthened wellbeing and increased community.  

The charity is growing its programme delivery team by recruiting a second Progress Facilitator. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic individual to join a small, ambitious team, continually ensuring that our services are survivor-centred and have an impact positively disproportionate to the organisations’ age and stage of development. 

Role Summary

The Progress Facilitator will provide specialist support to participants throughout all aspects of the core Strength & Stem programme. Under the supervision of the Programme Director, the Progress Facilitator will have responsibility for the progression, support, and safeguarding of our programme participants. Alongside the programme delivery team, you will ensure every participant has a safe and positive overall programme experience. This role will involve working directly with survivors, as well as a wide range of stakeholders from supporting organisations to florists, volunteers, and the programme delivery team.
