Job Description

Do you want to build welcoming communities where people can be involved no matter what their background, experiences or needs are?



Are you someone who can make things happen, who can build networks and get stuck into the communities around us?



We're looking for Community Network Coordinators who will work with people to build connections with all our communities. You will work closely with our operational teams to coordinate and connect to new and existing networks and activities. Your key aim will be to lower barriers that make it harder for people to live good lives.

You'll take the lead on volunteering activity and coordinate the management of volunteers in your region, and support colleagues across Mirus to see what exciting activities, groups or ideas are in our brilliant local communities.



This opportunity is being offered on a full-time basis - 37.5 hours per week and will be supporting our Bridgend and Powys areas. It is therefore anticipated that there will be some travel involved. A full UK driving License is therefore desirable.
