VCH is hiring Community Engagement Co-ordinators to join Together Better, our award-winning place-based volunteering programme that works with residents living across Hackney and the City of London.
Together Better is a nationally recognised project – having won an award from the Royal Society of Public Health in November 2024 – which supports residents to fulfil their personal goals, make connections, share their skills and experience for the benefit of each other, and design activities and services that meet local needs, such as a book group, film club, exercise classes or cooking group. In this role, you’ll also be supporting people to improve their mental and physical health through signposting them to appropriate services and encouraging them to talk to their GP ; and working in partnership with GP practice staff to co-create volunteer roles to make the practice a better place to visit.
You’ll have previous experience of engaging with and motivating people from a wide range of backgrounds to participate in activities, including people who are disengaged from services and people with physical or mental health conditions. We’re seeking self-motivated people with great facilitation skills who are able to recognise people’s strengths and support them to reach their potential.
We actively encourage people from all backgrounds to apply for this opportunity, as we want applicants to reflect the diverse demographics of Hackney residents. As such as we will offer guaranteed interviews to anyone who has a disability, and/or who is from a Global Majority background.
