Helping organisations across the UK to understand their impact on communities. Exploring the question: what does it take to improve a place? We're constantly learning from the different perspectives we see from working directly with communities, and with charities and the investors in communities.

We work across a large number of policy areas, but have developed particular expertise in the youth sector, with older people, vulnerable families, the arts and culture sector, and place-based approaches. Most of all we are looking for someone who will be a great fit for our team. You will need to be: A "people-person" who shares our values Able to communicate confidently to a range of audiences Inquisitive, curious and a logical or creative thinker Resilient, willing to get stuck in and able to turn your hand to a range of work Organised and able to juggle several projects at once Ideally you will also have some relevant skills and experience, including some of the following: Research skills, including the ability to rapidly digest information and make sense of complex problems Experience of doing or participating in evaluations or other types of research Experience working with communities or people from diverse backgrounds Excellent writing skills (either academic or professional) Closing date is Midnight, Sunday, 7th February 2021.

A high level of motivation and personal commitment is required along with demonstrable skills in engaging service users in planning their support. You will also be expected to work professionally alongside Care Managers and health professionals and to communicate positively with families, carers and friends. Although we value relevant experience of supporting people with a learning disability or autism you do not need to have prior experience if you can demonstrate a 'can-do approach', person-centred values, energy and commitment. You will need good verbal and written communication skills and the ability to develop good quality support plans. You will have a strong work ethic and duty of care and be able to contribute to a positive, team approach.
