Founded in 1995, Cloverleaf is an independent charity committed to helping people have their voices heard.
It believes every person is an equal member of society and has equal rights to live their own life, be listened to, taken seriously, and respected.
This is translated into the organisation too, where the pay awarded per role is continuously benchmarked with the market to ensure competitive and fair pay for all.
Every year, the organisation supports over 11,000 people aged 18 and over - who may otherwise struggle - with a range of needs to speak up or speak out.
This includes older people who suffer with physical and learning disabilities, neurodivergence, and those with mental health problems, dementia, and other long-term health conditions.
Cloverleaf’s aim is to ensure every person it supports has choice and control over their lives, can make their own decisions, and achieve their own goals.
It actively challenges discrimination and disadvantage and is working to change the way people access support, services, and the community - improving their quality of life and their ability to live independently.
Working across the North of England, it is achieving this through services including: advocacy (general, IMCA, IMHA, NHS complaints, and self-advocacy), carers support, and community involvement/inclusion.
It is embedded within its communities, with local services for local people designed to help them, understand their rights, access information, consider their options, speak up about the issues that matter to them, resolve problems about care and treatment, and become active members of their local community.
My manager shares important knowledge and information with me
Whilst it doesn’t provide a formal programme, Cloverleaf regularly looks at management development opportunities. Management have access to Level 5 qualifications, apprenticeships, and external management training. Managers also have monthly discussions where they can raise any concerns. It also encourages a peer support system, where managers buddy up to support their services and wellbeing.
This organisation is run on strong values / principles
Organisational clarity is key. Leadership runs a quarterly employee briefing to provide company updates and strategy. This is reinforced by a monthly managers forum which directors attend; this goes into further detail about the plans and workstreams so that the information can be passed to teams in team meetings and supervisions.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
The charity has Mental Health First Aiders for its people to speak to regularly if times are hard. It subscribes to Perkbox so employees have access to its wellbeing platform which include fitness and mental health tools such as mindfulness podcasts. The charity also runs weekly mindfulness sessions.
