Organisation - Pembroke House We are passionate about creating positive change and fostering a sense of community. Located in the heart of Walworth, we strive to empower communities and individuals to create a neighbourhood where everyone can flourish. We believe that together, we can build a stronger neighbourhood and we focus our work on different projects. Pembroke House was founded over 130 years ago by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge. They were convinced that growing inequality and deprivation in inner cities demanded a radical response.
The Role As a Community Action Coordinator, you will lead Pembroke House’s Neighbourhood Action projects to grow the number of residents taking collective action on local issues in their neighbourhood. Day-to-day you’ll be working across a range of Pembroke House programmes and neighbourhood projects, working closely with residents, local organisations and team members to form relationships which build towards action. If this job is done well, a range of groups in Walworth will be taking meaningful action to make a difference to the neighbourhood. Individuals will be growing their skills and capacity to collaborate, the groups will be building momentum, and beginning to affect real change in the neighbourhood.
Job Requirements Knowledge of community organising methodology, or training with community organising organisations (see for example Act Build Change, Community Organisers, or Citizen’s UK) would be beneficial, but not essential, as there could be other approaches or experiences that you could draw on for this role, and further training can be provided. Whatever your approach, you will need to adapt the way you work for different parts of the work - from taking a strong and confident lead in running a door-knocking campaign, to working with other team members to support wider engagement for their programmes.
Benefits The role offers a compensation of £32,044 per year.
