We do this by supporting and championing voluntary and community organisations and providing a range of services, training, and advice. We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.
We are looking for four Community Organisers, two based in Westfield, Yeovil and two in Highbridge. These roles are all about supporting local communities to grow and develop, building a sense of belonging and community spirit.
Supported by local hubs, you will engage with local residents to recruit a small team of volunteers and bring them together to deliver a range of community initiatives. This could be anything from clean-up projects, painting a community building, campaigning for change around a local issue such as a lack of public transport or hosting a community celebration event.
Key Responsibilities:
We are looking for people with a postive can-do attitude, an eagerness to learn and the ability to work flexibly and in partnership with a wide range of colleagues across Spark Somerset and the local community.
In return, we offer flexible, remote working options, a free employee assistance programme, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata if part time) and up to 7.5 hours of volunteering leave each year.
The roles are full time, working 37.5 hours per week on a 6-month fixed term contract. Part time hours will be considered for the right candidate. The annual salary is £30k.
