Community First Oxfordshire is a charity striving for diversity in our small team. If we are delivering services to support all people and all communities, then we need to make sure our team is inclusive. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and ages.
The Community Development Worker will primarily focus on working with the local residents to develop a vibrant and self-sustaining community, establishing a strong sense of local identity, social cohesion and active participation. You will support existing and new community groups and events which build on the assets that are already in place at Heyford Park as well as helping these groups to adapt to the changing needs of Heyford Park’s expanding population.
What we’re looking for: We are seeking a self-starter with a range of skills, a flexible approach and an ability to multi-task. You will need to enjoy working with all sorts of people, have great communication skills and be diplomatic, with an ability to take the initiative when opportunities arise. Experience of community development work and/or volunteering or working with community groups at a hyper local level would be beneficial. Training and support will be offered for specific types of community development work – you don’t need to be an expert in everything, as it’s all about your motivation and drive!
