Community and events manager jobs
Join a movement transforming how communities create lasting change. This isn't a typical charity role—it's a chance to shape the future of place-based working across the UK and help lead a growing organisation.
Place Matters is a small, entrepreneurial charity punching above its weight. We work at the intersection of communities, public services, funders, and policymakers to tackle the root causes of inequality and create changes that communities want to see. Our approach?

You'll capture insights from the ground and turn them into accessible tools, frameworks, and resources that make place-based working more effective for everyone.
You need to be a team player, confident and with strong opinions, but low ego and collegiate
What you'll do
- Lead the development and delivery of Learning and Practice Development Partnerships
- Initiate, convene and participate in ‘field-building’ efforts that aim to influence the broader place-based change sector, bringing together community organisations, public sector organisations, policy makers, foundations and businesses to build broader support for community centred place-based change

- Play a key role in business development, securing new partnerships, fundraising, and improving organisational efficiency
