You will be a community-minded individual with a passion for engaging with people, organisations and communities to support their development and contribute to bringing about positive change. To do this, you will promote and encourage volunteering, build capacity of groups and organisations through a range of guidance topics, identify training opportunities and evidence-based interventions and share good practice.

You will be confident in approaching and engaging with communities to assess needs and identify gaps in service provision and assist in the development of sustainable initiatives together with local partners. A proactive and innovative approach to identify person-centred and community-driven solutions will be most welcome and fit well with the team’s shared outcomes.
