Role

Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Community Fund the opportunity has arisen to join us at an exciting and pivotal time in the journey of Dunterlie Action Group! We are looking to employ an experienced Community Coordinator who can help us to build our organisational capacity, strengthen our governance and support us as we deliver the aims of our Community Vision. 

About Us:

Dunterlie Action Group (DAG) is a network of community leaders who have successfully worked in partnership with the Corra Foundation over the past nine years to build strategic partnerships, grow local groups and increase community participation. The Corra Foundations ‘Getting Alongside Communities’ programme is drawing to an end and it is DAG’s time to build on the momentum already achieved. We have been planning this transition for over a year and are confident that the right person will help us to become a resilient anchor organisation that empowers local people to have a voice in their community.

About the Role:

We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and passionate about community. This post will assist DAG in creating a community led structure, capable of tackling poverty, strengthening local connections and supporting people to thrive. This post will be rooted in community and will focus on enabling people to take forward their own ideas and build skills. This post will report to the Dunterlie Action Group. 

About You:

You will be professionally qualified and have experience of working with communities and partner organisations.  

You should have a strong understanding of the challenges experienced by those affected by health inequalities, social isolation and low income.

You will have experience of managing and supporting local community groups and/or projects, either on a paid or voluntary basis. You should have a non-judgemental approach and be able to form positive working relationships with a range of individuals and groups. You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of how to gather data and evidence and how this can be used to deliver outcomes and help to meet local community needs. You should be able to keep accurate records and notes that will allow you to produce up to date reports on progress and impact. You must be able to work autonomously, using good time management, organisational and communication skills. You will have a sense of humour to get you through the unpredictable world that is community development!
