Community Engagement Lead

Every conversation you have could change someone's life.

Imagine starting your morning over coffee with a local business owner, sharing ideas for a fundraising partnership. By lunchtime you're helping a community group bring an event to life, and by the afternoon you're celebrating someone who's decided to support an incredible cause after hearing your story.

If you're someone who loves meeting people, building relationships and creating opportunities, this is your chance to do work that genuinely matters.

The Role

As Community Engagement Lead, you'll be the face of the organisation within the local community, building relationships with businesses, schools, community groups and supporters across North Nottinghamshire.

You'll inspire people to get involved through fundraising, events, partnerships and volunteering, helping turn conversations into lasting community support.

No two days are the same. One day you'll be networking with local businesses, the next you'll be supporting a community fundraiser or developing a new engagement campaign.

• Building relationships with businesses, community groups and local supporters.
• Developing new community partnerships and fundraising opportunities.
• Representing the organisation at networking events and community activities.

• Working closely with colleagues to achieve engagement and fundraising targets.
• Maintaining accurate supporter records using a CRM system.
