Community engagement jobs

Legasee is a charity committed to ensuring that future generations can learn about our history through the personal recollections of the men and women who witnessed it first-hand. We provide students, teachers and researchers with unique access to a high-definition video archive of interviews with veterans and civilians connected to British military conflict from 1939 to the present day.
We are now seeking to recruit a committed and organised Project Officer to support the delivery of a major new oral history project focusing on the Aden Emergency, made possible thanks to a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. At its heart, the project will record the oral histories of 30–40 veterans and civilians whose lives were shaped by service in, or connection to, Aden during the final years of British rule.
Working closely with the Project Manager, the Project Officer will play a key role in the on-the-ground delivery of the project in Blackpool and the wider Northwest. The role has a particular focus on face-to-face volunteer coordination and the digitisation of archival material from the Aden Veterans Association, alongside supporting local events, interview days and community engagement activity.

The Project Officer will support quality assurance, accessibility and good archival practice throughout this process.
Education and community engagement are central to the project. The Project Officer will contribute to activity delivered in partnership with local schools, libraries and community groups, helping to create meaningful opportunities for people to engage with oral history and local heritage.
The role is home-based but requires regular in-person working in Blackpool and the surrounding area, including attendance at volunteer sessions, events and meetings. Flexibility around working hours is essential to meet the practical needs of the project.
If successful, your role will be:
- To support the delivery of the project in line with the requirements of the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the agreed evaluation framework
- To coordinate and support volunteers involved in digitisation, events and local project activity
- To act as a local liaison with veterans, partners and community organisations
- To support interview days, local events and public engagement activity
- To contribute to the creation and management of high-quality digital and archival records
In the first instance, please send a covering letter explaining your interest in the role and how your experience meets the requirements, along with an up-to-date CV.

Role description: You will work with local residents to continue our community engagement work, empowering residents to bring about positive change for North Leatherhead and facilitating their engagement in decisions affecting the local area.
Pay and hours: £16 an hour. 15 hours per week, with occasional evening and weekend working.
Contract: 6-month contract, initially.
Location: LCH, Kingston Road, Leatherhead. KT22 7PX. Not suitable for remote working.
Context:
North Leatherhead is in the top 5% most deprived neighbourhoods in Surrey, with one of the highest concentrations of foodbank use in the county and healthy life expectancy rates that are, on average, seven years lower than in South Leatherhead. A listening exercise by Mole Valley District Council highlighted the lack of community provision and the damaging impact of the closure of the children’s centre and other community buildings in recent years.
Leatherhead Community Hub (LCH) opened in March 2022 as a dedicated community centre in North Leatherhead. LCH provides opportunities for people to come together socially and build community, as well as giving partner organisations a permanent base from which to offer vital support. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming space at the heart of the community, where people of all ages can connect, learn, have fun, and find the support they need to thrive. The Hub attracts around 3,500 visitors a month to our community café and the many other community activities run by LCH and other local groups.
One of LCH’s core values is to be community-led, and we are always looking for opportunities to take on board people’s ideas and develop their gifts. Last year, we set up a non-contact boxing project and we have plans for a new football project, in response to parents’ concerns about the lack of provision for children and young people. Responsibility for both projects is being handed over to local residents.
Role description:
You will be responsible for listening to, engaging with and empowering local residents to facilitate positive change in their community, with the following specific objectives:
· To establish a residents’ panel (or similar), giving local residents a greater say in decisions affecting local community.
· To organise an Annual General Meeting (or similar), ensuring that LCH is accountable to the local community.
· To carry out a community survey (or listening exercise) for North Leatherhead, to increase our understanding of the concerns and hopes of local residents.
In addition, we would like to explore ways to increase ownership and involvement of local residents in all aspects of the running of LCH. You will be employed by LCH, using the Hub as a base for networking and capacity-building, whilst also reaching out to other sections of the community. This role will require you to have a regular presence at LCH and in the wider community.
Requirements of the postholder:
Essential:
· Excellent listening skills – friendly and approachable, with the ability to connect with people from a wide range of backgrounds and make them feel supported and valued.
· Experience of volunteering and/or working in a community setting.
· Strong organisational, time management and IT skills.
· A positive and creative approach to work – able to handle new or competing demands and work on own initiative without close supervision.
· A willingness to work flexibly, including occasional evening and weekend meetings.
· A firm commitment to the vision, mission and values of LCH.
Desirable:
· Good networking skills and experience of working with other organisations to achieve positive change for the community.
· An understanding of the principles of asset-based community development and other participatory approaches to community development.
· A proven ability to motivate and support people to use their strengths and skills for the benefit of the wider community.
· Experience of carrying out community research and/or grassroots organising.
· Experience of living, working and/or volunteering in the local area.
