Nonprofit Organization Management - Shrewsbury, England, United Kingdom
Omega exists to tackle the wider determinants of health, including social and economic issues. We achieve this by providing access to opportunities, information and a range of other non-clinical support. We work with family care-givers, people nearing the end of life, the bereaved, socially isolated individuals, the frail and the elderly. We work collaboratively to achieve improvements in general care and palliative care with a range of delivery partners and specialists including clinicians, third sector organisations, care professionals, expert advisors, businesses, volunteers and others. We are keen to reach out in new areas and welcome offers to work closely with others. We discourage unhealthy dependency; instead helping people to help themselves and each other. We do this by disseminating important information, sharing skills and coping strategies, delivering facilitated group sessions, encouraging peer-support and arranging social activities and other short-term respite from caring. We support a range of groups shaped by our beneficiaries, each with its own identity. We aim to fill gaps in local provision and take pride in tackling difficult issues. We have experience of working with hard to reach groups such as hidden carers, including those from BME communities and those who are socially isolated due to onerous caring responsibilities. We have a proven track record reaching unpaid family care-givers who have not previously accessed the limited support available to them. Typically, our beneficiaries face three key problems: •Poverty •Social isolation •Poor health We adopt a variety of efficient and extremely cost-effective delivery models, relying upon a mix of experienced professional staff employed upon a sessional basis and talented volunteers.
