Campaigns manager jobs near Manchester, Greater Manchester

The Connection Coalition (CC) was formed in April 2020 as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Anticipating that the nation was at risk of a crisis of disconnection - and a worsening epidemic of loneliness and social isolation - we created a platform for organisations across the country to work collectively to ensure that communities and the country emerge from Covid-19 ready to build and strengthen social relationships.

The past two years have involved growing the membership, supporting them with learning opportunities, and maximising the opportunities to build networks and connections between the members. In the past 12 months we have focussed on testing ideas and capturing our learning which has included listening to our members and better understanding their needs. As a result we have set our intention to move the Connection Coalition from a time-limited project to one we seek to sustain so long as there is a need. That’s where you come in!

As Connection Coalition Manager, you will work closely with our Head of Community Programmes and wider team to help lead and deliver our work supporting organisations who are building connections in communities across the UK. This is an exciting time to join the Foundation, as we develop and embed our new strategy, ensuring the Connection Coalition is integrated in our wider programme of work and well connected with other teams and projects across the Foundation. You’ll achieve this by working collaboratively with the Head of Community Programmes and other Project Managers.
