The Community Collaboration Team (within GHWS) is an established service set up to provide support for the individuals and families affected by the Grenfell Tower fire who are suffering from psychological trauma or other psychological difficulties e.g., bereavement, as a result of direct exposure to the fire. The post-holder will work within the GHWS which is part of an integrated service set up for both adults and children.
Community Connectors are local people who are passionate about the health and wellbeing of their community and those around them. Community connectors will be recruited from the local community to promote the health and wellbeing of local people and help them access local services. Some are bilingual, and all reflect the diversity of the local population. They will work as positive role models to raise awareness, sharing key information that will enable the community to make positive choices. They will also behave in a professional manner; both as representatives of the Community Collaboration Programme and in abiding by the policies and procedures of their host organisation.

Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Providing top quality care depends on our ability to employ the best people. We're always looking to recruit outstanding people who will go the extra mile to support our patients, colleagues, teams and the Trust.
