Community Engagement Officer

The Community Engagement Officer will be responsible for the delivery and coordination of various community projects such as Veterans Support Hub, Future Focus, Street Soccer Academy and United Together.

Reporting directly to the Head of Community Engagement, the Community Engagement Officer will be an important member of the delivery team and be responsible for devising, developing and delivering the community projects on behalf of the department.

The community projects will predominantly work with young people and adults who require additional support or mentorship to raise their morale, confidence and aspirations through a range of physical sessions, workshops and social events.

The Veterans Support Hub provides regular access to sport and physical activity alongside social activities. We will then work with each individual beneficiary to develop a personalised support programme which will see us put in place strategies to help that person to deal with their own issues with addiction, whether that be from substances, alcohol or gambling or a combination of all 3\.

Future Focus is a targeted post\-16 programme supporting young people in Years 12 and 13 to develop the life skills, confidence, and employability knowledge needed for their next steps. Through a combination of interactive workshops and practical experiences, the programme equips participants with essential skills in areas such as financial awareness, personal safety, communication, and interview preparation, helping them feel more prepared for adulthood, employment, or further education.

Street Soccer Academy engages young people who have disengaged through a combination of football and targeted workshops. The programme supports participants to develop confidence, improve wellbeing, and build essential life and employability skills in a positive and supportive environment.

United Together works with the probation services and aims to have a positive effect on integrating people back into the community through participation in community activity.

There will also be an expectation to deliver on other community projects when required.

There is a minimum requirement for the holder to have a full valid UK driving licence with business insurance. Applicants will need to have a flexible approach to work and be able to work some evenings and weekends.
