Community Renewal is a dynamic and innovative organisation at the cutting-edge of work towards ending persistent poverty in Scotland.
In keeping with our atmosphere of trusting and valuing our staff we offer generous benefits, policies and a flexible approach to working.
Community Renewal works among deprived communities to develop, deliver and share better approaches to unlocking flourishing lives and flourishing neighbourhoods. 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.
The role will be as part of our Citywide Next Step Team specialising in providing employability and welfare advice support to people presently facing unemployment and who are actively seeking to return to work. The successful applicant will be working with clients across the city both in community settings and remotely taking an active role at job fares and setting up training sessions for clients. We are keen to hear from people with experience in Employer Engagement.
How to Apply:We invite individuals with experience in employability/ employment placement.
Applications should be made via recruitment@communityrenewal.org.uk with a C.V which should be on the maximum of 1 Double sided A4 page accompanied by a covering letter detailing why you would be the perfect fit for such a dynamic role.
