Our clients Community Connector’s serve as the first point of contact for those visiting their sites, providing support for people to engage with services and activities.
The role aims to build relationships, identify peoples’ interests and goals and find appropriate opportunities for support. This role will be largely based in their main location, in Bromley by Bow, East India Dock Rd, which they are developing in partnership with Poplar HARCA, an award-winning housing association in East London.
The role may also be deployed to other sites to support with gaps in capacity e.g. due to annual leave, sickness or other absences of staff. Wherever based, their Community Connectors work to ensure that members of the community are aware of support available to them locally.
The role will also involve co-designing, developing, delivering, and reviewing a programme of activities and resident-led initiatives. The role is very much integrated with other services provided in their locations, mainly their advice services (e.g. social welfare, energy and financial capability) and their open access services.
They expect all their staff to be able to work with some flexibility across Centre’s and offer support to the community. This role will support teams if a sudden need arises due to lack of capacity.
You may have experience in the following roles: Community Engagement Officer, Community Support Worker, Outreach Worker, Housing Support Officer, Social Prescriber, Community Navigator, Service Coordinator, Resident Engagement Officer, etc.
