Be a hands-on strategist behind Coventry’s next wave of grassroots power. Join a tight‑knit team turning 21 community initiatives into one unstoppable force for justice.

Connecting for Good (CfG) is six years into a bold, ten‑year mission—and now we need a  Community Organiser to help us flip the switch from building power to wielding it.

You’ve already spent time working alongside communities – maybe leading campaigns, helping people come together, or supporting grassroots change. You know the buzz of turning an idea into action, and you’re ready to take the next step.

We’re looking for a Community Organiser who can build strong, trusting relationships, uncover what matters to people, and help them act collectively for the common good.

What you’ll be doing

• Hold regular one-to-one meetings with local people to understand their concerns, hopes, and ambitions.

• Identify and support formal and informal leaders, helping them develop skills and confidence to lead change.

• Mobilise groups to work together on issues that matter to them – from initial ideas to action that makes a difference.

• Bring forward “under-reached” voices and make sure they are part of the conversation.

• Create and deliver a communications plan (including social media) to connect and inspire active citizens.

• Participate in training, reflect on your practice, and share learning so we can all grow.

What we’re looking for

We value character, values, and approach as much as technical skills – but for this role, you’ll need to show you’ve already had some hands-on experience:

• 1 year experience in community organising, campaigning, or a related role.

• A track record paid or voluntary of inspiring others to take action – ideally people with different backgrounds and perspectives from your own.

• Evidence of working on projects, events, or campaigns that created real change.

• Skills in organising yourself and others in fast-moving, sometimes unstructured environments.

• The ability to handle challenges and differences constructively, keeping relationships strong.

• Creativity in developing new ways to bring people together and solve problems.

• Persistence, optimism, and resilience when the going gets tough.

Why Grapevine?

At Grapevine, we believe people are the answer to the challenges in their own communities – and we work alongside them to build power and create lasting change. You’ll join a supportive, values-driven team that encourages innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. We care, we hold each other accountable and back bold ideas with action. We repay out‑of‑hours effort with TOIL, cherish diverse lived experience and never lose sight of the people behind the work.

Ready to help Coventry’s communities wield their power together?

Are you highly organised, people-focused, and looking for a role where your skills really make a difference?

Join the team at the Buckingham Archdeaconry Office, where every day you will play a part in supporting clergy and parishes at the heart of the community.

Position: Administrator (supporting the Buckingham Archdeaconry Office)

Location: Aylesbury, HP17 8RZ

Hours: Part-time, 12 hours per week, to be worked across three 4-hour days. The exact days and times will be agreed with the line manager.

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: Sunday 5 October 2025

Interview Date and location: HP17 8RZ on Wednesday 15 October 2025

The Role

This is a varied and rewarding part-time role (12 hours per week, worked across three days) at the heart of the Buckingham Archdeaconry Office. You will provide confidential administrative support that helps clergy and parishes feel resourced and supported, while ensuring records, processes, and events run smoothly.

From processing expenses and maintaining key databases to preparing papers for important events and offering a warm welcome to visitors, no two days are ever quite the same.

You will also play a vital role in maintaining accurate and up-to-date clergy and parish records, helping to coordinate and officiate around four annual evening Churchwarden Visitations across various locations in Buckinghamshire, and assisting with wider diocesan projects.

You will bring a welcoming and professional presence to the office, offering hospitality to visitors and support to colleagues.

You do not need to be a practising Christian or have a faith to work with us - around 50% of our staff are not practising Christians but are comfortable with the Christian ethos that underpins our work. However, all our staff do have a desire to make a difference.
