This is an exciting opportunity to help shape how communities, charities and health services work together across Hillingdon. You'll play a key role in connecting local organisations with NHS neighbourhood teams, ensuring community voices influence decisions and helping to tackle health inequalities through innovative, community-led approaches.
About us: H4All is a local delivery brand in Hillingdon operating under the charity Third Sector Together North West London (3ST) to deliver various community and preventative health services. Our Community Development Team boosts the capacity and sustainability of the local VCSE by providing training, signposting, hosting forums, creating bespoke support packages and recruiting volunteers for local organisations. In addition to this we also deliver preventative health initiatives through our community champions programme, a volunteer led service that delivers health messaging in the borough.
Main Purpose of the Role:
The Neighbourhood Integration Officer will strengthen connections between the VCSE sector and NHS neighbourhood teams across Hillingdon. The role will support the development of integrated neighbourhood working by providing high-quality community intelligence, building comprehensive neighbourhood asset maps, and ensuring community assets and insights inform prevention, population health management, and service planning. The postholder will also identify and address barriers that prevent VCSE organisations from engaging in neighbourhood working, helping community groups and charities to better understand the neighbourhood model and equipping them with the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to participate effectively in local partnerships and decision-making.
Working collaboratively with community organisations, NHS colleagues, public health teams and residents, the postholder will help embed community-based solutions into neighbourhood approaches, support Core20PLUS priorities, and grow the Community Champions network to improve the reach and impact of health messaging and preventative interventions.
