We are looking for someone with relevant skills and experience to take forward our work on hate crime and community engagement and cohesion. On hate crime, they will be able to build on RECC’s pioneering community-based approach, working with our Community Witness and Support Team and supporting hate crime victims both individually and through mutual support groups. Much of the recent focus of our community engagement work has been through the Redbridge Equalities Forum, and they will have the opportunity to steer its development into a post-Covid world. And on community cohesion they will have a key part to play in the development of a proposed major new initiative in two of Redbridge’s most deprived and divided areas.

This is a challenging agenda, the more so for a part time worker, and their highest priority initially will be to work with the Trustees to find the funding needed to enable the post both to become fulltime and to continue beyond March.

Redbridge Equalities and Community Council is a well-established and hard-working equalities organisation with its roots in community relations and race equality work, based in Ilford, and working mainly in the London Borough of Redbridge.

Be right in the middle of things, helping keep the organisation moving, for a busy charity renowned for its amazing work with some of Britain's most excluded people.

About Us

First Love Foundation, a Christian charity, was founded 10 years ago with a desire to see the transformation of society through the pursuit of justice, dignity, and equality for all members of the society. Our vision is for Britain without poverty and our work is underpinned by the belief that no one regardless of faith, ethnicity, socio-economic background, or any other factor should live in poverty or go through this type of crisis alone.

Based in the east end of London, First Love Foundation works with families and individuals experiencing crisis i.e. ‘income-shocks’ ranging from incorrect denial (or suspension of) welfare support, serious ill health, debt, homelessness, right through to domestic violence, trapping them in a continuous cycle of poverty.

We respond to poverty and crisis through the delivery of our highly regarded solutions-oriented Enabling Lives Programme. The programme provides instant access to high-quality support and advice at the point of crisis.

Our mission is ‘to empower people to create their own independent lives by working alongside them with love”. This mission and our theory of change have been carefully developed over many years on the front line, helping people in crisis and learning what it takes for people to break the cycle of poverty.

With projects already in the pipeline that will serve to help even more families and individuals make the journey out of their crisis, we have scope for scale which needs to be supported internally by strong management of crucial areas of the charity’s operations.

About the Role
