Description

There has never been a more exciting time to join the HEY Smile Foundation team.

Our work spans across the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), as well as connecting opportunities with the private and public sector.

We are connected, joining assets to community knowledge, creativity and inspiration.

We are helping VCSE organisations of all shapes and sizes be heard and play a part in solutions, not just highlight community problems.

We have grown significantly in the last 14 years but are still agile enough to respond to the community's needs, not prescribe the same methodology _'because that's what has always been done'.

_

We are sustainable in our own right.

Whilst developing others, we have ensured we had one eye on our own platform, securing £3m in assets and generating an average of £800k turnover a year in earned income to be masters of our own destiny and focus on the Wow not Woe in our communities across Hull, the East Riding and the wider Integrated Care System region.

A key function of our work is how we listen, build on community strengths, connect solutions and measure impact.

As project coordinator you will be an essential team member working across all functions of Smile, enabling communities to thrive and deliver positive change.
