Job description

Pitsea or Colchester, covering the Essex area

Are you someone who loves connecting people to opportunities, helping them overcome barriers, and supporting them to thrive in their community? If so, we’ve got a brilliant opportunity for you as we’re looking for a Community Connector to join our Essex Outreach Support Service. 

In this role, you will work closely with Peabody’s Community Investment team to deliver our social value offer across Essex. You will help customers access employment, apprenticeships, volunteering opportunities and other local community assets. You’ll build strong relationships with local groups, organisations and networks, and engage directly with customers to design and deliver workshops that promote social inclusion, wellbeing, and meaningful occupation.

What your day might look like

  • Start your day by connecting with customers, helping them identify the opportunities, skills or support they need to move forward.
  • Build relationships with local community groups, employers and partners, linking customers to meaningful activities and social networks.
  • Design and deliver engaging workshops that promote inclusion, confidence and wellbeing.
  • Work flexibly across Essex to meet customer and community needs.

What makes this role special

You’ll be part of a service that puts people at the heart of everything. Whether you’re supporting someone to take their first steps back into work, introducing them to a local community group, or helping them build confidence through a workshop.You’ll have the chance to shape local partnerships, open doors for individuals who face exclusion, and create social value that strengthens whole communities. 

It’s a role where your creative ideas, empathy, and passion for people will shine.

What We’re Looking For

You will be

  • Ambitious – for our customers, communities and colleagues.
  • Caring – in how you work and communicate.
  • Collaborative – working effectively with partners.
  • Empowering – supporting customers to grow.
  • Trusted – reliable and consistent in what you deliver.

What you’ll need

  • Ability to communicate clearly and confidently with customers, staff and stakeholders.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise with minimal supervision.
  • Ability to build positive, collaborative relationships with partners and networks.
  • Experience planning or facilitating group workshops or community sessions.
  • Understanding of confidentiality, data protection and privacy.
  • Flexibility to work across the Essex service where demand is high.
  • Ability to work flexibly, including some evenings or weekends.
  • Strong team‑working skills and the ability to support and be supported by colleagues.
  • Experience or knowledge of handling disclosures and raising safeguarding concerns.
  • Understanding of adult and child safeguarding legislation, policies and procedures.
  • Budget management and tracking spend

What you’ll get in return

  • 25 days’ annual holiday (plus bank holidays)
  • 2 paid volunteering days each year
  • Flexible benefits scheme including healthcare, dental, tech, vouchers, and more
  • Life assurance at 4x your salary
  • Up to 10% pension contribution
  • Family-friendly policies
  • A role where your support helps people thrive

At Peabody, our values guide everything we do — Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together.

PLEASE NOTE: Peabody does not provide sponsorship as a licenced UK employer.

Please read before applying

This is not a carer role - it’s about empowering people, not doing tasks for them. You’ll support customers to build resilience, learn new skills and take control of their lives. You must be confident working in the community and travelling independently around the Essex area.

Please apply now by submitting an anonymised CV and a short statement explaining why you’re the perfect fit for this role.

Closing date: 6th May 2026 at midnight. Interviews will be taking place in person no later than the 15th May at Pembroke House, Pitsea office.
