Citizens UK Citizens UK is the UK's biggest, most diverse and most effective people-powered alliance. We bring communities and local organisations together to work on issues that matter; from campaigning for zebra crossings on dangerous roads, to reforming the immigration system, to the Living Wage campaign. We have a track record of winning change through hundreds of local and national campaigns. We know everyday people have the ability to shape the world around them. We believe that through developing local leaders, we can drive nationwide change and create community-led solutions to big and small problems. Project Information Butetown and Grangetown Neighbourhood Fund project, funded by the Youth Endowment Fund. More details here: Neighbourhood Fund Youth Endowment Fund Citizens Cymru Wales has developed an innovative approach to reducing youth violence with community organising at its heart, working across four unique assumptions: 'It takes a village to raise a child' 'Anger without power leads to rage' 'Recognising the need to address Adverse Community Experiences' 'If you are not at the table, you're on the menu' In 2021 it developed a community led action plan to address youth violence in the neighbourhoods of Butetown and Grangetown. This work then secured £1m funding from the Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) to demonstrate how community organising can improve the lives of children and young people. Across Grangetown and Butetown, almost 2500 people were listened to, and issues workshops took place from which seven interventions were identified including Mental health, Additional Learning Needs and Literacy, an Employment partnership, Sports and diversionary activities and local microgrants. Each intervention is led by a local community-based organisation. At the heart of the work is building a hyperlocal community organising alliance. Underpinning the work is the development of a Youth Action Zone, a youth-led multi-agency partnership to support young people in the neighbourhood for the long term. The project is in its final year of delivery and needs a locally based project manager to support the current organisations to fulfil the action plan and build a long-term legacy. Main Responsibilities This is a unique role, focused on project management but embedding community organising. As project organiser for Butetown and Grangetown Neighbourhood Fund you will support the project aims, enabling core partners and intervention leads to fulfil the action plan and build a legacy for the long term. Alongside this, you will develop a craft of community organising, working closely with civic organisations based in the neighbourhoods, understanding local power and building partnerships with wider stakeholders, and developing local institutions and youth leaders. All of this should ladder up to building the power of the broader Cardiff Citizens alliance. You will embed the ethos of community organising across the project and its legacy by: developing the leadership of people within local organisations - our 'leaders' who lead the campaigns we work on helping them to collectively identify the changes they want to see and create strategies to win those changes strengthen institutions' own abilities to achieve their missions. Support leaders in connecting the hyperlocal work to the Cardiff Citizens alliance - developing their capacity to work with other leaders and civic institutions across the city to develop collective ambitions and actions (leading up to the 2027 Local Authority elections). We envisage the role to be roughly 2 days project management and 1 day Community Organising, but given the nature of the project, these will naturally bleed into one another. Working as the Project Organiser for Citizens UK, your main responsibilities will include: Career Pathways Headings Build and manage projects and achieve work targets effectively Project manage the YEF/Citizens UK Neighbourhood Fund project in the neighbourhoods of Butetown and Grangetown Support the delivery of four interventions (Mental health, ALN & Literacy/Sports and Police action team) including due diligence, accountability, measurement and impact monitoring.

Communications Support the interventions with communicating the impact of their work individually and collectively Create comms outputs that communicate the work of the YEF project for internal and external stakeholders Represent the organisation effectively to external audiences in meetings and at events Generate income and resources Support the interventions to seek additional funding to continue their work beyond 2027 Support local organisations to increase their capacity Identify and develop relational leaders prepared to act with others for the common good and support them through a cycle of action and training in our curriculum Conduct 5 relational one-to-ones per week Identify and discern actual and potential leaders with the passion and ability to drive change Achieve significant development of primary and secondary leaders; nominate new leaders for training on the Citizens UK core taster curriculum and for National Training Attend Citizens UK 6-day training to further understanding the method of Community Organising used by CUK Teach sessions of the core taster Community Organising curriculum at a local level (supported by a senior Organiser) Strengthen institutions and develop a broad-based neighbourhood alliance Ensure good understanding of the basic interests and traditions of typical member institutions Support the development of the Cardiff Citizens alliance Support with running institutional development campaigns in a range of organisations in the local area Personal Specification (D) Desirable, (E) Essential Qualifications Bachelor's degree in any subject (D) Qualification in a subject of relevance to community work or community organising (D) Experience Evidence of having acted in a leadership role with peers or in local community activities (e.g., organising clubs or societies) (E) Experience of project management; evidence of having set up and/or delivered projects on time and to standard (E) Able to demonstrate previous experience of 'learning by doing' in a work or project environment; evidence of being open to feedback and comfortably coachable (E) Experience of building consensus between diverse stakeholders to drive progressive change (D) Previous campaign experience (D) Key skills and knowledge Excellent interpersonal awareness - ability to listen well and appreciate a viewpoint or opinion that is different from one's own (E) Excellent concern for impact - ability to adapt own behaviour to address the needs or concerns of someone else (E) Good communication skills - able to speak with conviction and passion; and to make a logical argument (E) Excellent time management skills with the ability to juggle a wide range of competing demands (E) Strong IT skills to include MS Office (E) Understanding of policy and campaign landscape in the UK, particularly around young people, community empowerment and neighbourhoods (D) Personal qualities & values A self-starter with ability to take initiative and work independently (E) A passion for justice (E) A positive enthusiasm for working with faith congregations, trade unions, schools, and other community organisations (E) An interest in and experience of politics and public life (E) Able to work in a team (E) Willingness to work within accountable relationships (E) Self-motivated and adaptable (E) Our Organisers and some project teams work closely with our member institutions and will be expected to attend member events that take place in the evenings and occasional weekends.
