About Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity (GSTTC)

GSTTC is an independent urban health foundation working with others to improve health outcomes in Lambeth and Southwark. We’re currently working to:

1. Reduce childhood obesity
2. Slow down people's progression to multiple long-term conditions (MLTC)

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

About Pimlico Million

Pimlico Million is an award-winning community project, working to make Pimlico an even better place to be. Pimlico Million is part of the Big Local programme, which is a 10 year initiative, giving 150 areas across the UK £1 million of Lottery money to make positive changes to their community. Each area forms a partnership group of local residents and decides how to spend their funds. Many, like Pimlico Million, decide to employ staff to bring their ambitions to life.

About the role

We are seeking a passionate community development officer to help realise the vision of the Pimlico partnership group.

Based at the community premises, a short walk from Pimlico tube station, this is a flexible part-time role worked over two or three days a week. You will work alongside the project manager, focusing on outreach and communication across the local area to help residents find their voice, take ownership and reach their potential.

It is an excellent opportunity for a highly organised individual with an experience in working with communities in either a paid or voluntary capacity. You will be energetic and proactive, using your strong communication skills to engage and build a rapport with local people, supporting them to come up with great ideas for new initiatives that boost opportunities and improve social cohesion.

An ability to work independently is key, with experience of managing multiple and varied priorities. You will also have good digital skills and the necessary experience to take responsibility for all the communications output for the Pimlico Million, as well as maintaining all of the systems required to record the activities and successes of the work.
