We’re looking for a dynamic, creative and caring Community Coordinator to join our team. You’ll be primarily responsible for managing our programme of community activities, events and therapies at our wellbeing hub and garden in Camden.
You’ll be helping to provide a place where people can find belonging and get support navigating life, as we continue to develop the Hub from its roots as a mental health day centre into an accessible, thriving community wellbeing hub.
About Us
Likewise is an innovative social care and mental health charity working at the heart of the Camden community to support individuals experiencing loneliness, isolation and social exclusion.
Putting relationships first, we help people navigate life practically and emotionally, feeling a sense of belonging and acceptance.
At Likewise our culture is all about being human together. More human organisations do more human work. We put a lot into having authentic relationships, work hard to support each other’s sense of belonging and love learning together through the work we do.
Our three strands of work are:
- Community – building spaces where people feel safe to be themselves, and feel a sense of belonging, connectedness and acceptance
- 1-to-1 Support – flexible, person-centred support to meet the complexity a person experiences in their day-to-day life, whether at home or out in the community
- Shared Learning – providing experiential learning and formal training opportunities that support personal wellbeing and skills development, primarily through our volunteer and placement student programmes.
We’re also trying to influence change in the local health and care system so that organisations and services become more human, adaptable and responsive to people’s lives.
About the Community Hub
The Likewise Community Hub offers a safe space for people to explore a range of wellbeing activities and events, whilst creating opportunity for connection, relationship, belonging and support.
Our Community Hub and Garden is open to all with a particular focus on people who may feel lonely or socially isolated through mental ill health. It’s a place to access therapies, groups and activities supporting belonging and wellbeing. The hub is both a place to meaningfully contribute, and to feel supported, upholding the principle that we all have needs and we all have something to offer.
Flexibility
We believe in everyone’s intrinsic motivation to do their best work and trust each other to manage working time in the way that best serves the work we’re doing. Everyone is free to structure working hours and time in a way that both suits their life and their professional role. Everyone wants to get the most from both.
Bring your whole self to work: It’s all welcome
Our hope is that every person who joins our community – whether as a staff member, client, volunteer or supporter – can feel safe to be themselves and our commitment is to creating working spaces and relationships where this is possible.
We’re passionate about creating a workplace that promotes and values diversity, inclusion and belonging. Organisations that are diverse in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical and mental health, ethnicity and perspective are vital to our communities.
We’re all learners and leaders
