If so, would you like to work alongside like-minded, committed colleagues who enable people with a learning disability to increase their self-esteem and have more say and control over their lives? Talkback has been working with people with a learning disability since 1998, aiming to achieve choice, opportunity and respect. We are user led and know what life is like when you have a learning disability.

We are currently recruiting for:

About the Young Foundation

Connected, thriving communities are the foundation of our society. They keeps us safer, happier and healthier – more resilient and able to face shared challenges. Today, the Young Foundation’s mission is to enable the development of connected, more sustainable and stronger communities across the UK. We do this through amplifying the stories and lived experiences of people in our communities; using this as a spur to drive locally-led community action and enterprise. We use what we learn across different communities to spot national patterns of need and opportunity, then work with national partners to support new ideas to tackle those shared challenges. Bringing together our own – and other people’s – work, we are building a shared body of evidence, tools and insight about how communities are taking action on the issues that affect them.

About the role

We are looking for a Programme Officer to join our team on the Tower Hamlets Communities Driving Change programme. You will be working alongside residents and local stakeholders in the north-west of the borough, supporting them to design and deliver a range of projects and interventions aimed at improving health and wellbeing locally.

You will be an energised and proactive person with experience of working in communities, with a particular aptitude for capacity-building and project development. You will be responsible for ongoing engagement with a diverse range of people, and supporting existing and new resident groups to drive change, as defined by them. This will involve relationship-building, and connecting people with the skills, tools and networks they need, to ensure all projects are locally owned and led. You will have an inquisitive mind-set; always feeding your collective learning into the bigger picture – exploring what local initiatives show us about a wider potential for community-led change.
