Greater London, United Kingdom Pembroke House Full time

About the role As Neighbourhood – Senior Organiser at Pembroke House you will be someone who is highly skilled and experienced at bringing together diverse groups of people to take collective action on local issues. You’ll have the ability to blend organising and community‑building strategies, knowing that we can’t build power without building community and that community is often built through a common cause. You’ll be excited to bring your organising and facilitation skills to our existing community programmes, including the Walworth Living Room – a new "third space" for the community, and playing a crucial role in developing new partnerships and future areas of our work. You will be an energetic person who thrives on making new connections and can inspire others to take action. As an experienced facilitator you will be confident facilitating groups and at ease with designing and adapting formal and informal training sessions appropriate to the context. Key responsibilities Blend organising and community‑building strategies to build power and community. Bring organising and facilitation skills to existing community programmes, including the Walworth Living Room. Develop new partnerships and future areas of work. Foster new connections and inspire others to take action. Facilitate groups and design/adapt formal and informal training sessions appropriate to context. Qualifications and experience Your experience MUST include facilitating groups who don't already hold a common and agreed set of values. While academic or activist settings may form a significant part of your experience, it is essential to have worked in a mixed community or neighbourhood setting, where you regularly encountered and brought together a range of contrasting viewpoints, which included views substantially different to your own. A knowledge of community organising methodology (see for example Act Build Change or Citizen's UK) is useful, but there may also be other approaches or experiences that you could draw on for this role. You will be curious and keen to learn about the history of community organising and community development at Pembroke House, and keen to build on and contribute to the development of that work. Background Pembroke House is a centre for social action and residential community in Walworth, South‑East London. We were founded in 1885, by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge, as one of the first settlement houses. Concerned about growing poverty and inequality, the pioneers of the settlement movement sought a new approach: taking up residence to live, work and solve problems alongside local communities. For 140 years, we've been working to bridge traditional divides and unite people – whatever their background or walk of life – in building a better Walworth. Reporting & location Responsible to: Director of Partnerships Location: Pembroke House, 80 Tatum Street, SE171QR; the Walworth Living Room, All Saints Hall, Surrey Square, SE172JU; and surrounding areas in Walworth. As we are a neighbourhood‑based organisation we believe it is essential to our work that staff are present at one of our sites in Walworth as much as possible. This role is in person and not suitable for remote or hybrid working. #J-18808-Ljbffr
