Community Renewal Trust is a values-led, dynamic and innovative organisation at the cutting-edge of work towards ending persistent poverty in Scotland. With 45 staff in three neighbourhoods and running two social enterprises there is always lots of impact and interesting learning.
Community Renewal works among deprived communities to develop, deliver and share better approaches to proactively find the right people in the right places where transformative and empowering work can make the most difference. These approaches always place people and communities in the lead: listening to them, identifying their strengths, supporting them on their terms, and building their capacity to flourish.
Community Renewal alleviates poverty by engaging and forming trusting relationships with individuals, whole families and whole communities together then supporting them by combining holistic case management (e.g. around income, work, health, wellness) with community development (e.g. forming new community activities/groups). This work is about testing change which can inform policy, be scaled up or replicated to achieve a much greater impact than our direct delivery alone.
A set of core values guides all the work of Community Renewal:
• TRUSTING – Our impact is built on choosing to place trust in people.
• TRUSTWORTHY – Our trustworthiness is what makes our relationships grow.
• LEARNING – Our charity is about learning so we celebrate success but also appreciate failure
• BUILDING ON STRENGTHS – Our aim is always to build on strengths: we reject paternalism
• ALONGSIDE COMMUNITIES – Our aim is always to stay alongside people for as long as it takes.
• ACHIEVING PREVENTION – Our choice is to be proactive so we can achieve prevention, build resilience and find the right people at the right time.
• INSPIRING TRANSFORMATION – Our focus is always inspiring towards transformation, rather than incremental change.
This role is part of the Community Renewal Lifting Neighbourhoods Together team. This team brings together community workers and transformative caseworkers with specialist knowledge of different ways to support people in deprived neighbourhoods – for example welfare rights, employability, community food and health/mental health.
A five year grant from National Lottery Community Fund is core to enabling this team to operate in a different methodology which is deeply aligned with Community Renewal Trust’s core approach and values as described above.
This role is a fixed term activity to:
- Recruit a cohort of additional volunteers to support activities and services in the community.
- Ensure the best possible support is available to existing volunteers in the area to consider their needs and aspirations.
- Create an effective volunteer recruitment, on-boarding and retention process and increase knowledge in the team of these topics.
- Provide training and support training to volunteers in leading listening conversations and holistic conversations.
- Learn from work in Walker to make good use of volunteers in a Lifting Neighbourhoods Together approach and share this with the team.
We have a unique opportunity available to join our fantastic Finance Team. We are looking for someone who will be instrumental in supporting our organization’s shared values to demonstrate and promote Carr Gomm’s values in your day-to-day work, with a person-centered approach.
“We will demonstrate and grow the Carr Gomm DNA to build identity, appropriate recognition and sustainability within the social care sector in Scotland and across the globe.”
