    Description

    Full-time, Permanent (35 hours per week)

    About the Role

    The Homestead Park has been cherished by communities for 120 years since it was gifted to the people of York by social reformer Seebohm Rowntree (son of Joseph Rowntree) so that all individuals, regardless of class or income, could enjoy time in nature.

    At JRF, we're honouring this heritage and turning the leaves of a new chapter in the story of Homestead Park. We're looking to the future to understand how on our home soil over the next 100 years we can grow opportunities to support JRF's wider mission which is to 'speed up and support the transition to a more equitable and just future, free from poverty in which people and planet can flourish'. We'll draw inspiration from Rowntree's radical roots and cultivate the conditions for people to come together to explore the challenges of these times. They'll connect with themselves, each other and nature, fostering resilient communities where people and the natural world are able to flourish together and plant the seeds for hopeful futures.

    Seebohm's gift represents a tradition of giving back to the community and ensuring that public spaces remain accessible to all. We want to uphold this tradition and not only preserve a piece of history, but also reaffirm our dedication to creating a park and pavilion community space that serves the needs and interests of the people it belongs to.

    We will be developing a ten year plan to help to guide our work in Homestead Park and we're creating two exciting new roles to support this work: the 'Community Engagement Lead' and the 'Head of Homestead Park' role. We'll work alongside community groups and local people to steer the development of the Park and understand how it can serve communities today and for generations to come.

    About You

    You'll have a genuine passion for community engagement, place-making, and creating inclusive spaces. You'll feel a connection with our work in the Emerging Futures team and a commitment with climate justice and how this links with social justice and nature-based well-being. You'll be a great communicator and you'll be skilled at connecting with diverse stakeholders and building consensus around shared goals.

    How to Apply

    If you share our passion and this role sounds like you, then we're looking forward to hearing from you.

    Please submit your CV and supporting information via our online application platform.

    The closing date for applications is 23:59 hours on Wednesday 5th June 2024.

    Interviews will take place either in York or on-line on Tuesday 18th June 2024.

    Additional Information

    In support of our approach to flexible working, we are happy to receive applications from those seeking full-time employment, as well as those who may want to share the role on a part-time basis. When making your application, please state whether you want to be considered for either full or part-time work and, if part-time, the number of hours per week you would be looking for.

    At JRF we're at our best when we're continually building on trust, showing we care and making a difference – and hope others will do the same. So for those roles which allow it, we're developing a more blended approach to how and where you work. This means you can expect to work flexibly between the office and home (with an expectation of two days a week in your home office).

    Our commitment to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

    Applications are welcome from all, regardless of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, religion or belief, race, sex, sexual orientation, trans status or socioeconomic background. We recognise that we cannot truly be an anti-poverty organisation unless we are also an anti-racist organisation, and we positively encourage applications from people with experience of living in poverty.

    We are a Disability Confident Employer. This means that we are committed to the recruitment, progression and retention of disabled individuals. We shall also offer interviews to disabled candidates who meet the minimum criteria for the job. If you have a disability, please tell us if you would like to be considered for an interview under the Disability Confident Scheme.
