Everyone has the right to a flourishing, independent life. A life in which people are able to do the things they want to do in the ways they want to do them, especially those in later life and those with learning disabilities.
Haringey Circle is an independent membership-based Community Interest Company (CIC), providing services to Haringey residents over 50 and adults with learning disabilities who are over 18. We provide activities, events and support to help our members to connect, get active, keep learning, and to stay independent.
We aim to increase social connections, reduce isolation and loneliness and improve the wellbeing and self-esteem of older people over 50 and adults with learning disabilities who are over 18. Based around a varied social calendar developed by members and volunteers, our membership programme helps to grow diverse friendship groups that offer practical and emotional support.
The role
To develop, organise and deliver a programme of community based and virtual social activities and events for Haringey Circle members, including those with Learning Disability and registered physically disabled. Working with Haringey Circle members to co-design and deliver activities that they would like to participate in. Coordinate and manage volunteers to help deliver the activity programmes and work in partnership with other organisations to develop and support the programme. Increase the membership of Haringey Circle through promotional events and developing service offers
About you
The role needs someone creative, energetic, passionate, but importantly, also highly organised. You must be as comfortable making sure the Activities Programme is up to date, as you are delivering quirky craft activities, hosting a workshop on the cost of living, or helping run a visit to a local farm or a trip to the seaside. Ability to use graphic design packages would be an advantage as would familiarity with social media.
You need to have lots of ideas, but also be able to make your ideas happen. You need to understand the challenges older people face, but recognise that older people need fun, friendship, and empowerment, as much as they need to have any physical needs met - and have as much to give to their community as anyone.
If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you.
