Role

We’re Recruiting: Community Development Worker – Community Link Up

Community Link Up is growing — and we’re looking for someone who believes in people, relationships and the power of communities to create change.

This role isn’t just about managing a project. It’s about walking alongside people in the Three Towns and Kilwinning, creating spaces where families feel supported, valued and able to shape what happens in their own communities.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Understands that relationships come first

• Values lived experience as expertise

• Can support people to build confidence, connection and collective action

• Believes in doing things with communities, not to them

You’ll work in a small team, work closely with local people and partners, and help grow community-led activity that responds to what really matters — from poverty and inequality to isolation and wellbeing.

This is a chance to be part of something that is:

• People-led

• Trauma-informed

• Asset-based

• Rooted in care, trust and hope

If you’re someone who listens deeply, leads with compassion, and wants to be part of building something meaningful — we’d love to hear from you.
