Neighbourhood Manager
Role summary
This role will combine providing one-to-one long term holistic casework and supporting community engagement activities across the Bingham, Magdalene and The Hays neighbourhood of Edinburgh. Community engagement includes working with community groups, regular door knocking using our proven approach, and arranging community events. Close coordination with a wider team providing community engagement and community casework is essential. We have some preference for people who could add some specialist knowledge around either mental health or employability (including employer engagement), however, this is desirable rather than essential.

This role is ideal for someone at any stage in their career who can demonstrate their ability to provide whole-person whole-neighbourhood support. We are looking for people who can quickly learn our methodology and who can help build one people’s strengths and foster their resilience/self-care.
IntroducING Community Renewal TRUST
Community Renewal is a dynamic and innovative organisation at the cutting-edge of work towards ending persistent poverty and inequity in Scotland. We work in deprived communities where we have been long-established to develop, deliver and share better approaches based around whole-person, whole-neighbourhood support. This means we always place people and communities in the lead: listening to them, identifying their strengths, supporting them on their terms, and building their capacity to flourish.

Community Renewal alleviates poverty by engaging and forming trusting relationships with individuals, whole families and whole communities together then supporting them by combining holistic case management (e.g. around income, work, health, wellness) with community development (e.g. forming new community activities/groups). This work is about testing change which can inform policy, be scaled up or replicated to achieve a much greater impact than our direct delivery alone. A set of core values guides all the work of Community Renewal:

- The most important element of any support relationship is listening to what the person wants deep down and working alongside them to achieve it
- We stick with people for as long as it takes
- Many people find it hard to articulate what they want at first and so need to be able to experience an environment of trust and safety in order to uncover buried aspirations - this cannot be rushed
- People don’t resist change - they resist being changed.
- People in deprived communities already know what is required to improve their lives - what they need is help with how to make it happen.
- Compassionate listening is a basic human need and is central to the way that we engage with people.
- Every individual and community has assets
- Sustainable transformation in communities is possible but needs a long term commitment.

A team of around fifty staff is delivers community services based around three key neighbourhoods: Pennywell/Muirhouse (Edinburgh), Bingham (Edinburgh), Govanhill’s Roma (Glasgow). The full Community Renewal Group consists of the lead charity Community Renewal Trust SCIO plus four subsidiaries: Caledonia Funeral Aid CIC, Community Renewal Rom Romeha (registered as Roma Life CIC), Pennywell Community Renewal Trust SCIO and Community Renewal Training & Consultancy Ltd.
INTRODUCING COMMUNITY RENEWAL LIFTING NEIGHBOURHOODS TOGETHER
Community Renewal Trust’s team based in Bingham and covering the surrounding deprived neighbourhood are the Community Renewal Lifting Neighbourhoods Together team.

Our work in the neighbourhood is innovative and has been supported to undertake cultural and system change through a major grant from National Lottery Community Fund (also called the Lifting Neighbourhoods Together programme). The team also has posts funded by Scottish Government, City of Edinburgh Council, and Edinburgh Health & Social Care.

The approach we take is to be proactive in going out and systematically engaging the community (through door knocking, community development and community events) to find people who can benefit from transformational support. The core of this support is in the form of our Holistic Assessment methodology: we will deeply and compassionately listen, connect them to the support they need, ensure we are building on their strengths and sticking with them and their n
