Engaging communities and transforming lives.
Annual salary: £25,000 - £28,000

Every year we help thousands of people into sustainable, meaningful employment. We wouldn't be able to deliver these important services without the support and engagement of our local communities.
We're always looking for Community Engagement Officers to engage communities, forge relationships and help customers access the support and services they need at a local level.
About the role.
You will work within local job centres and central employment hubs, hosting engagement sessions and forging relationships with potential customers and partners. Working alongside our Community Partnership Network, you’ll help customers access complementary support services and enable them to lead fulfilling, independent lives.
What we look for.
What we offer.
- A strong communicator with Community Engagement experience working with vulnerable customers.
- Experience working with community-based agencies and authorities to offer customers pathways to integration and employment.
- A customer-focused individual who’s compassion and empathy enables them to refer members of the local community to programmes that remove barriers to employment.
- Experience of working to structured targets and deadlines
This role would suit a strong team player with a positive and flexible approach. Someone with experience of people development — confident to listen, question and build relationships.
