Registered Charity No. 312278.
The Upper Norwood Library Hub (UNLH) provides lifelong learning and opportunity for local communities and designs inclusive spaces for learning, wellbeing and the arts that support local communities and protect and sustain libraries. UNLH sits on the cusp of 5 London Boroughs (Croydon, Lambeth, Bromley, Southwark and Lewisham). Our professional library service is delivered by Lambeth Council, co-funded by Croydon Council; working in close partnership with the library and Council teams. We work in close partnership with library services, statutory and voluntary sector partners, connecting us to multiple communities and deeply rooting us into the heart of South London. Our library hub operates a co-created community programme focusing on sharing and learning, health and wellbeing, venue and performance and outreach activities. We promote equality through information, education, wellbeing and creative programmes that create open access and widen participation.
UNLH is managed by the Upper Norwood Library Trust (UNLT - an independent charity), formed in 2012 by local residents and a strategic priority is that we are ‘of’ our community not ‘for’ our community to ensure resident voice is central within the organisation.
This is an exciting time to join the UNLT team as we expand our community programmes and strengthen our impact. UNLT is seeking a Community Programme Manager to manage our education, wellbeing and arts activities for children and adults. Our programmes run on site, in the community and across London. The role sits at the very centre of our work. Working closely with the Hub Director, you will make UNLT’s activity programme a reality. The role also offers the opportunity for some hands-on delivery.
We’re looking for someone with strong people skills and exceptional organisational skills. For UNLT to have its intended impact, you will need to have a real eye for fine detail, excellent communication skills and the ability to engage empathetically with a wide range of people.
You will:
• be aligned with our values and our context.
• be skilled at communicating with artists, educators, practitioners, colleagues and partners with strong influencing skills.
• understand how the detail of programme planning feeds through into outcomes and you’ll be able to evaluate those outcomes in a systematic way.
