We don't just work for communities; we work with them. You'll be on the front lines, helping residents work to their strengths and turn their collective ambitions into reality. From revitalising local green spaces to building social resilience, your work will create lasting, positive ripples across Greater Manchester.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Co-Create and Deliver: You'll lead impactful projects that are designed with and for the community, ensuring every initiative meets a real need.
  • Build Capacity: Your focus will be on strengthening community assets and building the skills and confidence of local people to lead their own environmental change.

Starting Salary: £25,287 per annum

Contract: Permanent, full-time (36 hrs 40 mins) with flexible options available.

Location: Flexible with time split between our offices and engaging with communities on the ground.

Ready to put your passion into practice and help us build a greener, fairer, and stronger Greater Manchester? We’d love to hear from you.

Apply here before 8th September 2025. Interviews will take place on Wednesday 24th September 2025.

We’re passionate about creating a future where every neighbourhood is vibrant and green, every community is strong and able to shape its own destiny and no-one is held back by their background or circumstances. We specialise in the following services and are committed to creating added social value through our delivery:

  • Community engagement
  • Landscape design & build
  • Training & coaching for employment
  • Early intervention to support health & wellbeing
  • Safe & sustainable business support

As a Disability Confident employer we offer a guaranteed interview to applicants with a disability who meet the essential criteria for the role.

At Groundwork we ensure that we provide a safe environment for adults, children and young people to take part in any activity or service that we organise. We are committed to creating a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk.

Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and comprehensive process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all the people we appoint are suitable to work with our children, young people and adults.
