Teddington, Greater London, United Kingdom Ruils - Disability Action & Advice Centre (DAAC) Full time
About Ruils - Disability Action & Advice Centre (DAAC)

Ruils is a user-led charity based in the Richmond borough that supports disabled children and adults and the elderly to live independently, be part of their community and to live life to the full. We provide information, advice, advocacy, befriending and activities to our clients and their families.

Our mission is to enrich people's lives, help with their mental health challenges and reduce their isolation and loneliness. We have broadened our community remit to also identify, advise and support residents living with health inequalities in the Borough of Richmond as an NHS Southwest London Integrated Care Board Core20Plus5 Partner.

Key Responsibilities
  • Work with the Community and Volunteer Manager to deliver our Community Independent Living Services (CILS). This includes supporting Ruils' Group Activities, Befriending, Active from Home Walks, as well as the recruitment and management of Ruils Volunteers.
  • Manage our Core20Plus5 initiative to target resident engagement with community organisations in areas where this is identified as being low.
  • Establish the reasons for low engagement and draw up a plan for improved local engagement by driving volunteer recruitment and delivering increased befriending and Active from Home client matches, new group activities, and establishing a trusted reach-out path for the currently dis-engaged residents at our Health and Wellbeing events.
  • Provide input to Health and Wellbeing events organised by the Health in your Hands team in areas of focus.
Key Duties
  • Support with the recruitment, matching, on-boarding, training and management of Ruils Volunteers in particular areas of focus and across the charity when required.
  • Support with the administration and management of the Ruils Befriending, Active from Home Walks, and Community Group Activities, particularly in key areas of focus.
  • Support new clients being referred into CILS services to access activities and services.
  • Work with clients (with guidance and support) to:
  • Access CILS services.
  • Match with appropriate befriending volunteers.
  • Access social and leisure opportunities in the community.
  • Support (where appropriate) with facilitating Ruils online group activities.
  • Support with the monitoring of CILS activities.
  • Manage our Core20Plus5 initiative to engage with community organisations (council, voluntary, health & wellbeing, resident associations), and local residents to:
  • Increase Ruils understanding of local health and wellbeing support needs.
  • Record findings of engagements as basis for new services deployment.
  • Promote new volunteer requirement at micro-level in targeted localities.
  • Evaluate what new group activities will meet local resident wellbeing needs and propose plan for delivery.
  • Support the delivery of Ruils Health & Wellbeing Events in key areas of focus including contacting local residents to promote the events.
  • Identify, reach out and establish ongoing relationships with like-minded organisations to attend their health and wellbeing events in the targeted localities. As a community connector, outreach should also identify individual influencers in these areas in order to utilise their knowledge, insight and influence with the challenges faced by local residents.
  • The goal is to establish a trust and confidence to maximise our engagement with local residents.
  • Other duties as deemed appropriate relating to the community services, or Ruils services generally.
