Description

We're excited to announce that we are on the hunt for a new Community Engagement and Outreach Coordinator.

This is a brand new role for the charity and will play a critical part in strengthening our partnerships across the voluntary and public sector, from schools and tenant and resident associations, to local, play, youth, and community hubs.

The role will also play a key part in providing targeted support for local families through our new partnership with Cadent Gas, enabling them to access additional financial wellbeing support.

This will include working with teams across our services to deliver one to one, and group information, advice, and guidance sessions.

If you, like us, are excited by the opportunity to grow the impact of our work even further, we'd love to hear from you.
