Help build a more inclusive Cheshire East—by empowering people to lead change in their own communities.

Be part of a role where relationships, lived experience and local action create real impact.

As a Community Champion, you’ll be at the heart of community life—building trusted relationships, running conversations and awareness sessions, and helping people feel more included, confident and connected.

A key part of your role will be to find, train and support new Community Champions—people with lived experience who want to make a difference locally. You’ll help them grow in confidence to lead peer activity, share insight and shape what happens next.

This is a pivotal moment to join Public Law Project. As part of our five-year strategy, we are deepening our commitment to centring the voices and experiences of marginalised communities — and this new role is at the heart of that work.

As Community Network Manager, you will establish and lead our new Community Knowledge Exchange, bringing together people with lived experience of marginalisation, frontline partners, lawyers, researchers and others to share knowledge, build collective power and shape fairer systems. You will build and sustain the relationships and infrastructure that ensure community insight drives our litigation strategy, policy influence and advocacy — working in ways that are ethical, equitable and genuinely co-productive.

This is a rare opportunity to shape something from the start. You will develop the networks, tools and approaches that help PLP engage meaningfully with communities, while also acting as an internal champion — building our organisational capacity to work in partnership with lived experience in non-extractive ways.
