Description
Job descriptionAre you an experienced community organiser looking to make a real difference in an urban community, particularly with BAME and marginalised groups? Are you a strategic thinker, a doer, and a people-person?
Join Big Local Works (BLW) as our Community Organiser - Enterprise and Engagement.
Based on a recently refurbished historic market, we want to develop a people-powered regeneration, led by and for local residents, to sit alongside extensive property development happening in the area.
This new post, funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Charity, requires a skilled and energetic individual to harness and stimulate community energies.
Our approach focuses on involving people from diverse backgrounds and encouraging them to develop their own enterprises and initiatives, especially (although exclusively) related to micro-enterprise and economic participation.
We want local people's voices to be heard, but more than that - we want them to take an active part in a community's regeneration.
We strongly encourage applicants from minority/marginalised communities, and value personal experience and connection to our mission alongside professional skills.
