Key Responsibilities As Senior Project Officer, you will: Work with the project team to map stakeholders and co-develop a structured engagement plan to recruit and work with marginalised communities. Build a collaborative and trusting relationship with the partner organisations and other stakeholders for this project, ensuring this work meets their expectations and complements areas of the work programme led by others.

Lead on the delivery of resilience training and workshop sessions with diverse audiences, both in-person and online.

Work with the core Communities Prepared team to adapt our offer with the long-term goal of the Programme reaching more diverse audiences, especially those seldom heard in this sector. The role involves regular travel across the UK, with a focus on South West England during the project s pilot phase. We are looking for someone with: Experience in community engagement or community development. Experience delivering training or workshops. Strong organisational and project management skills. Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, confident to engage people from a range of different backgrounds. Experience working with multiple stakeholders or partners.
