Community Coordinator based at MHA Communities Wakefield

18 hours per week

£25,987.00 pro rata (per annum for part-time) 

A great opportunity to work in your local community to support older people to increase social inclusion.

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our team in MHA Communities - Wakefield and District. You will be required to travel around the district, so a clean driving licence and access to a car are also required, as well as some experience of working on different digital platforms. 

The MHA Communities Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and running a programme of activities, the scope of which will vary depending upon local need.

All activities will seek to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness and promote the wellbeing of older people across a range of community settings.

This programme could include any mix from MHA’s core service offering – such as befriending, lunch clubs, social outings or clubs. In addition, the post holder will be required to develop new activities based on feedback from and the needs of the community – this could include coordinating with other organisations such as local colleges to offer IT classes or arranging for a local professional to deliver a series of exercise groups.

The Community Coordinator will work closely with a variety of internal and external stakeholders, and so good communication is as important as having strong organisation skills.
