Communities Programmes Team (1 post)

Do you have a community development heart and a project management head?

The Communities Service is about growing the power of communities by working collaboratively with citizens, communities and the voluntary sector as well as across the council and with city partners.


The Community Resources Team and The Communities Programmes Team are both part of this service, working hard behind the scenes to deliver projects and programmes which enable great work in the voluntary sector.


These roles are about enabling the smooth operation of our projects and programmes and strengthening these by using effective systems, planning and data.

These are mostly office-based roles. Our work is focused on enabling communities and organisations to thrive by providing grants, resources and opportunities which grow community power and encourage social action.

We’re looking for organised, proactive people with good attention to detail, driven by a belief in social action. In these roles you will support our work which includes delivering and managing grants programmes; developing the Can Do Bristol volunteering platform; and supporting the work of Area Committees in deciding funding to improve the city’s neighbourhoods.

You might use your strategic skills to help build on Bristol’s voluntary and community response to COVID-19 and the cost of living crisis, looking for opportunities to support the social infrastructure in becoming stronger, more connected and more resilient.

You’ll be able to use research and data effectively, with experience of developing and implementing systems to support monitoring, reporting and data management including use of Excel.

We’re looking for people with effective facilitation skills and a positive, encouraging approach to our colleagues and partners. Relationships are important to our work, so you will need experience of engaging with a wide range of partners to deliver projects which improve the lives of local communities, using creative communications and tools to bring people together.

You will have an understanding of how inequity, prejudice and discrimination work and be committed to bringing about meaningful change.

If you are a diligent, detail-oriented person and want to use those skills to grow equity, social action and a thriving community and voluntary sector in Bristol, we’d love to hear from you.

These roles may involve some evening and weekend work which will make up your usual working week and which you will be able to take back as flexi time.

Why Bristol City Council?


At Bristol City Council, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high-profile organisation. For the majority of our roles hybrid working arrangements are available, balancing service need and individual choice by mixing home and office working.


Join us and you’ll receive an excellent rewards package including flexible working and flexitime, membership of the Local Government Pension scheme, and a generous annual leave allowance. In addition, you’ll be working in a supportive environment where you’ll have the chance to make Bristol a better place and contribute to its future.
