Leeds, West Yorkshire (Hybrid)
£13.45 per hour
Part-time (16 hours p/w)
Temporary (24 months)
Job description
Leeds Baby Bank exists to ensure no child goes without because they are born into a family experiencing poverty. Our work is built around a referral-based model, working closely with professionals including health services, social care teams, and partner organisations. This ensures support reaches families who need it most, at the right time, helping people access support as early as possible.
Alongside this, we support families through our community spaces and Hub — welcoming, accessible environments where families can receive items, practical support, and connections to wider services. These spaces help build trust, reduce isolation, and strengthen local communities.
The role involves direct, frontline engagement with families who may be experiencing crisis, financial hardship or emotional distress. The postholder will be expected to build trusting relationships, provide informal support within role boundaries, and respond appropriately to emerging needs, including identifying and escalating safeguarding concerns.
The role includes both Hub-based delivery and proactive and outreach work across Leeds, including working in community venues and partner locations.
The role will involve regular direct contact with families and children in a community setting.
The postholder may occasionally be required to work evenings or weekends to support community activities.
The role may involve travel across Leeds to build partnerships and engage with local services.

Job description
Join a vibrant and brave grassroots organisation led by Gypsy and Traveller people in West Yorkshire.
Leeds Gypsy and Traveller Exchange (Leeds GATE) is an established and award-winning civil society organisation with a national profile.
We are recognised as being innovative, brave and creative. Our overall aim is to improve the quality of life for Gypsies and Travellers through addressing inequalities in homes, health, education, and employment, financial and social inclusion.
We run a number of a community facing and strategic projects to achieve our aims including advocacy, community development and youth work. Those who access our services and activities are members of Leeds GATE.
Job Purpose:
Working in Wakefield and Calderdale you will build trusted relationships with Leeds GATE members, residents and families living on the Heath Common local authority site (Wakefield), yards, houses and roadside across the Wakefield district and Calderdale Borough.
Through your relationships you will gain understanding of people’s strengths, interests and hobbies, whilst also building up knowledge of the needs of support, barriers and issues faced by Gypsies and Travellers.
As a community development worker you will help to develop and create opportunities to engage the community, such as activities and group work, thinking how these can help people to share their ideas, develop their skills, build confidence and empower them, as well as improving health and wellbeing outcomes to enable better lives.
An element of hybrid working is supported within this role but it is expected that the majority of work (80%) will be based on sites, outreach and community based events.
