My Summary

My Experience

Experience:
Jan 2024 - Present
Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - Eritrean Community in UK (ECUK), Islington, London
April 2023 - December 2023
Volunteer Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - ECUK, Islington, London
~Advice & Information – 1-1 appointments with the elderly to provide advice on health, benefits, pensions, debt and any financial issues. I’ll signpost them to the correct information and assist in booking the necessary appointments, completing application forms on their behalf, and translating.
~ Developing and managing health, social and cultural activity programmes for the elderly to introduce them to activities they may not easily have access to or may be excluded from.
~ Monthly or bi-monthly awareness raising workshops and events arranged and delivered with a health focus e.g. workshops addressing healthy eating, how to budget for food shopping, menu planning, how to develop a healthy lifestyle etc.
~ Provide informal cultural appropriate advice/ counselling where necessary
~ Liaise between clients and external agencies to achieve services/support best
~ Use IT for statistical and record-keeping and document, and prepare periodic report
In addition to working with the elderly, I work directly with diverse groups of families who come seeking advice around various issues including:
~ Homelessness - I help signpost them to the necessary information, and as a result of what they choose to do and their circumstances, I direct them to the council, help them apply for housing and guide them to where they can apply for food vouchers.
~ Family interrelationship issues - Mediating between adults to help them resolve the issues within their relationship and help them understand the cultural and social differences in the UK relating to raising children. The goal is to mitigate any risks that could result in the children being taken away from their home.

~ General life admin - Majority of the families I work with have recently immigrated to the UK so they struggle to understand the day to day life admin. For example, I help them understand any bills they receive, any grants they are eligible to apply for, translating government documents.
~ Help the families plan any activities for their children during half term.

Achievements: One of the goals in this role was to align the schedule of the two girls because the grandmother struggled to handle the two routines that the children were used to in their own families and nursery.
