Housing management jobs
Be a hands-on organiser behind Coventry’s next wave of grassroots power for greener neighbourhoods.
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?
