Community Outreach Officer (part-time)

**Job Summary - Community Outreach Officer (part-time)**

**About the role**

The borough of Merton has a diverse demographic profile but are aware that we do not support as many older adults from some communities as we would expect. At Age UK Merton (AUKM) we want to listen to all the older voices in our local communities and understand people’s stories so that we can develop advice and support that is responsive, compassionate and flexible to meet differing and individual needs, reducing inequality in Merton where possible.

We are recruiting a **Community Outreach Officer** to proactively engage with our communities, raising our profile and awareness of our services, especially with those groups that do not currently benefit from Age UK Merton services to their fullest extent. We want to build upon existing links and also create new relationships with local voluntary sector groups including ethnic minority groups, faith groups and the LGBTQ+ Network; and continue our outreach with Core20PLUS5 communities*.

We have secured funding from Age UK to develop and implement a community engagement plan that aims to increase the number of people accessing our services, extend our reach across the borough and particularly to engage with ethnic minority and other marginalised communities to improve the quality of support that we provide to their older people. Working closely with our internal teams, the Community Outreach Officer will play a key role in raising awareness of AUKM among these local communities. They will build strong relationships with such local groups to facilitate better engagement with our organisation and delivery of the outreach building block of our new three-year strategy that is in development to launch in April 2023.

**About you**

You are a natural relationship builder. You embrace diversity and are capable to forge long lasting relationships with respect across varied and underrepresented groups. You are confident and capable of creating an environment and situations where older people are encouraged to express their needs and concerns. You will be an innovative and creative person who enjoys working in the environment where no two days are the same. Above all, you thrive in an environment driven by values, where you can use your interpersonal and relationship building skills to engage others with energy and credibility.
- Core20PLUS5 is a national NHS England approach to inform action to reduce healthcare inequalities at both national and system level. More information can be found here: _
