Are you interested in working assertively and collaboratively with other agencies to reduce barriers and improve outcomes for vulnerable and minority groups?

We know that people and communities are not “hard to reach”, but that services can be. There are many complex reasons why some groups might find it difficult to access help offered through standard pathways. As a result they experience inequalities of access to healthcare and other support.

In light of this, this role has been created with OHID funding, to take smoking cessation advice and interventions out to the community, to settings where people living or experiencing homelessness in Redbridge find it easier, safer, or more helpful to be seen in.

We are recruiting for roles that cover both assertive outreach (speaking Baltic or Slavic languages, such as Lithuanian, Bulgarian, or Polish would be useful for this role) and for an advisor specialising in helping people with substance misuse issues.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an expanding service that delivers specialist advice and support and is developing key partnerships to improve the health and wellbeing of Redbridge residents.
