Job description

 

Community Engagement Assistant (Part-Time, Flexible)

Location: Swindon & surrounding community

Are you passionate about your local community? Do you love meeting people, building relationships and making a real difference?

At Dressability, we believe clothing should never be a barrier to dignity, comfort or independence. Every year, we support adults and children with disabilities, older people, and those facing physical challenges by providing specialist clothing alterations and adaptations that truly transform lives.

Now, we’re looking for someone from Swindon to help us take that mission even further.

�� Why This Role Matters

This isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity to:

  • Be the external face of a respected local charity
  • Build meaningful partnerships across Swindon
  • Help people access life-changing support
  • Raise awareness of disability challenges in our community
  • Connect local people with ways to give back

You’ll be out and about — at community groups, GP surgeries, care homes, faith groups, fetes, disability events and networking meetings — spreading the word about the incredible support Dressability provides.

�� What You’ll Be Doing

As our Community Engagement Assistant, you will:

✨ Develop relationships with local organisations, health services and community leaders
✨ Deliver talks and presentations that inspire and inform
✨ Represent Dressability at community events and fairs
✨ Organise pop-up clinics in local venues
✨ Promote referrals through GPs, OTs and care settings
✨ Help attract new clients, volunteers and supporters
✨ Support social media content and community marketing

You’ll also work closely with our friendly team, and receive ongoing training and support.

�� Who We’re Looking For

We’d love to hear from you if you:

  • Know Swindon well and have strong local connections
  • Have experience in community engagement, outreach or partnership working
  • Understand disability issues (or have lived/worked experience in this area)
  • Are friendly, confident and comfortable speaking to groups
  • Are self-motivated and organised
  • Have a driving licence and access to your own vehicle

Most importantly, you’re someone who genuinely cares about people and wants to make a difference close to home.

�� Why Join Dressability?

  • Flexible, part-time hours
  • Meaningful, purpose-driven work
  • A supportive and welcoming team
  • The chance to make visible change in your own community
  • A role where no two days are the same

This is your opportunity to be a connector, a champion and a changemaker for people across Swindon.

�� Ready to Make an Impact?

If you’re based in Swindon and want to use your skills, personality and local knowledge to help others live with greater dignity and confidence, we would love to hear from you.

Join Dressability — and help ensure clothing never limits anyone’s life.
