About the role

We are looking for an experienced community development worker/community organiser to support an innovative tenant-led partnership in Manchester, called Ageing Well in Place in Hulme.
This is a rare opportunity to work on a genuinely tenant-led co-creation partnership that is achieving significant community mobilisation and positive outcomes among social housing tenants.
You will work together with tenant committees and older and vulnerable people in high rise social housing accommodation to encourage social participation, build confidence and capacity, and facilitate peer support and leadership development.
You will work closely with tenants to realise their ideas and aspirations for their block, their physical environment and neighbourhood, and their own wellbeing.
You will convene quarterly multi-agency Ageing Well in Place partnership meetings and support tenants to build constructive relationships with local agencies and providers to achieve their goals.
You will work closely with an Independent Living Outreach worker who will deliver one-to-one casework support to tenants at the same accommodation blocks.

About you

You have excellent relationship building skills and experience of working with disadvantaged groups of people to take collective action to achieve positive outcomes for people and communities.
You enjoy organising social activities and events in response to community priorities, interests and needs.
You have an organised and strategic mindset and the professionalism to foster positive working relationships between community, voluntary and public sector organisations and representatives.
You cope well with conflict and have a calm and grounded approach, with the ability to mediate different perspectives to come to positive collective agreements and ways forward.
