About the role
Working closely with the CommunityWorks CEO, you will play a key role in the effective day-to-day running of the Centre, while also helping to shape its future development. You will have the autonomy to take ideas forward, build relationships, develop activities and create opportunities that respond to the needs and aspirations of local people.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

A key part of the role will also be leading and developing activities for young people, as well as working alongside the CEO to develop and deliver programmes that strengthen community engagement and create positive opportunities for local residents.
Hours: 18 to 21 hours per week
