Job description
The opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Abundance project as a Project administrator. The Abundance Project: Enhancing Cultural and Green Inclusion in Social Prescribing in Southwest London to Address Ethnic Inequalities in Mental Health is an AHRC funded project led by University of the Arts London and co-led by Kingston University. Black, ethnic minority and refugee communities who live in poorer Southwest London boroughs and other cities across the UK are at the greatest risk of poor mental health, yet are least likely to engage with cultural and green community assets or social prescribing. The Abundance project is a 3-year research project that aims to develop ways for these communities to engage with assets such as galleries, museums, natural spaces and community groups and benefit from them. The project aims to empower Black, minority ethnic and refugee communities by taking a community-led approach to engaging assets within health systems and creating opportunities to reduce mental health inequalities. In your role as Project Administrator you will provide crucial support in keeping the project delivery to track, supporting the Primary Investigator, Primary Co-Investigator and all co-investigators, both academic and community, with delivery of their work-packages and outputs, liaise with communities and different stakeholders, liaise with the funder for documentation and reporting purposes and develop up-to-date materials about the project. You will support the project delivery by booking spaces for workshops and meetings, coordinating work-team and advisory board meetings, organizing catering, managing expenses, organising conference travel, and in any other ways required. |
About you
You will be an integral part of an enthusiastic and dynamic team of academic and community researchers, who are highly motivated about successfully delivering an impactful project that aims to benefit underserved communities in Southwest London and more widely. You will be motivated and enthusiastic about principles of equality, diversity and inclusion, and driven by social purpose agendas. Well-organised, calm and efficient person, you will be committed to maintaining high standards in project delivery and to treating all stakeholders with empathy and respect. You will be crucial to the successful delivery of the project, resulting to a community-led model for social prescribing of cultural and green assets that can address health inequalities, particularly in the area of mental health of underserved communities. |
