Wellbeing Coordinator
Ruils is run by, and for, Disabled people. We exist to remove the barriers that prevent Disabled people from living independent lives. Our vision is a society where all individuals have choice and control to live independently. We provide information, advice, advocacy, befriending and activities to our clients and their families.
We are working with partners to deliver Health in Your Hands, a programme focused on preventing long-term conditions and reducing health inequalities. This is a unique and rewarding opportunity for you to work one-to-one with clients to effect change whilst also having a positive impact on the wider system.
Duties and responsibilities
- Provide basic health checks (full training provided) and practical health and wellbeing support to residents in the community, escalating concerns to appropriate health professionals where required.
- Work one-to-one with residents, supporting them to make informed choices and set goals that reflect what matters to them.
- Connect people to services and community activities and support.
- Manage a varied caseload effectively.
- Maintain accurate records and contribute to the development of the service by sharing outcomes, insights and gaps in local service provision.
We are looking for someone who has:
- A strong commitment to reducing health inequalities, promoting inclusion, and working with residents in a person-centred way.
- Experience of supporting individuals with complex needs, including providing information and support to access services.
- The ability to work compassionately and non-judgmentally, actively listening and building trusted relationships.
- Experience of partnership and collaborative working, with the ability to build effective relationships across voluntary and statutory organisations.
- A working understanding of the wider determinants of health, including the impact of inequality on health and wellbeing.
- Strong communication, organisational and digital skills, including accurate record-keeping, good attention to detail, time management, and confidence using IT systems such as databases, Word and Excel.
What we can offer you:
- A vibrant and interesting work environment – every day is different.
- An experienced and supportive leadership team.
- Training and development opportunities.
- Flexible working.
- Kind and caring colleagues who work as a team.
- A cycle-to-work scheme.
- An employee assistance programme (EAP).
