We are looking to recruit three Engaging Communities Officers, one in each of the London, North of England and South West regions, to coordinate our regional activity in reaching and engaging with Black and South Asian communities, and other lesser heard communities. This will involve close working with the Regional Teams to ensure that these communities are at the forefront of all our work in improving the health of people with or at risk of diabetes.
These key roles within the Operations Directorate, will help to increase the diversity of our large volunteer family, as well as our work to advocate for communities by influencing diabetes care in the NHS. You will join a network of Engaging Communities Officers from across our Regions, to share practice, learn from each other and develop knowledge and skills as needed, so that you can have the best possible impact with the team in your region.
This is an exciting time at Diabetes UK as we work to deliver our 2020-25 strategy. Tackling inequalities is a cross-cutting theme throughout all our outcomes and our strategy recognises the need to reach more Black and South Asian people, to provide information and support on diabetes management and risk.
