Community Ambassadors Project Officer

4 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Richmond and Wandsworth Councils Full time

About Us
Do you have experience in managing volunteers? Could you work with volunteers to offer a voice to residents in social housing and bring positive change?

If so

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part-time Community Ambassador Project Officer to join our Community Engagement Team at the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. You will be key in recruiting and supporting voluntary community ambassadors who live in social housing in the borough. You will work with them to find out issues important to tenants and to help them have a voice with their housing association and with the Council. You will be a motivated individual with transferable skill sets including the ability to innovate and engage with residents, underserved groups. As this is a new programme, you will be able to help shape the best practice for this innovative area of work.

**About the team**

The Community Engagement Team is very supportive and works closely with residents, community groups and volunteer groups, to engage on matters which mean the most to those who live, work and study in our borough.

**About the role**

You will be required to:

- Experience of working and/or managing volunteers
- Engage with residents about the issues that matter most to them
- Maintain positive engagement with existing community ambassadors and ensure high levels of engagement in communities and with our stakeholders
- Onboard and organise training for new community ambassadors
- Connect community ambassadors and housing associations to get involved with Estate Inspections
- Organise and manage events for engagement purposes

You will need to be:

- Motivate, able to work proactively and enjoy new challenges
- Have strong people skills
- You will be able to work individually and as part of a team.
- Prioritise your own workload

This is a part-time role for 2.5 days a week, which days you work is negotiable, but they will need to fit with the volunteers you manage and at times when you can get support from the rest of the team. This is a one-year fixed term post.

On occasions you may be required to work evenings and weekends, for which you will be given time off in lieu. This position will mostly entail working within the community where the community ambassador volunteers are based, alongside some office working based in Twickenham. There may be opportunities to do some work from home.

**For an informal discussion about this role, please contact Rajiv Bhattacharjee, Community Engagement Manager.**

In addition, we offer a comprehensive range of staff benefits such as membership of the Local Government pension scheme, childcare vouchers, new technology scheme, interest-free loans on annual travel cards, discounts with many leisure activities, restaurants, shops and other establishments.
