Proudly celebrating over 50 years and with a turnover of over GBP20 million, we provide invaluable care and support to over 7,500 people across the five London Boroughs of Bromley, Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark.
Your new role
As the Oral History Project Lead, you will be responsible for developing an oral history project from inception to the opening of an exhibition in our brand-new state of the art Centre for Awareness and Response to End of Life Care (CARE), which will include hospice artifacts, printed quotations and audio clips. While liaising with the external academic consultant, you will be tasked with developing a training programme for volunteers, to transform this group into proficient users of recording equipment, through collecting oral histories from former members of staff, volunteers and members of the public. You will be responsible for ensuring the gathered histories are archived appropriately and catalogued, while being supported by the external academic consultant and an archivist.

You will bring with you an awareness and understanding of GDPR, data protection and confidentiality and the ability to implement processes and policies to ensure personal and data security.
You will possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills in order to interact with professionals and members of local communities, and be persuasive with the ability to use your knowledge to positively influence others. It is just as important to us that you enjoy making and maintaining relationships with a variety of individuals and groups, and feel comfortable working with people at the end of life.
