Are you an experienced community organiser looking to make a real difference in an urban community, particularly with BAME and marginalised groups? Are you a strategic thinker, a doer, and a people-person?
Join Big Local Works (BLW) as our Community Organiser – Enterprise and Engagement.
Based on a recently refurbished historic market, we want to develop a people-powered regeneration, led by and for local residents, to sit alongside extensive property development happening in the area.
This new post, funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Charity, requires a skilled and energetic individual to harness and stimulate community energies.
Our approach focuses on involving people from diverse backgrounds and encouraging them to develop their own enterprises and initiatives, especially (although exclusively) related to micro-enterprise and economic participation. We want local people's voices to be heard, but more than that - we want them to take an active part in a community's regeneration..
We strongly encourage applicants from minority/marginalised communities, and value personal experience and connection to our mission alongside professional skills.
General Information
Big Local Works (BLW) is a community-focused economic inclusion charity based in Bermondsey, South East London. We want to help create a thriving, inclusive local economy and community in which everyone can participate.
To make this happen, we maximise local people’s financial and economic wellbeing to reduce poverty and hardship, and give them support to find sustainable, active routes out of poverty, including through employment and enterprise.
We deliver our support in the community through three main services:
- Expert welfare and benefits advice and advocacy for local people experiencing poverty and hardship
- Employability Skills training and coaching to help people access ways of increasing their earned income
- Start-up and enterprise support for clients who wish to start trading on the local ‘Blue Market’
People Powered Regeneration
As well as continuing to offer an ever-wider range of individual support, we now have a strategic vision to create a ‘people-powered regeneration’ in an area already undergoing massive redevelopment by property developers.
In July 2019, a community campaign was successful in securing £2m funding from the GLA for the ‘Made in Bermondsey’ regeneration project centred on making key improvements to the local market place, the Blue Market in South Bermondsey.
Final works were completed in July 2022 and the market now has a first-class infrastructure for traders, local residents and visitors to use and enjoy the Blue Market place. The market also showcases a vision of a better future for the local area: a more prosperous, resilient and connected local community where people come together to trade, socialise, and celebrate across the diverse boundaries. We need to pay special attention to BAME, and recent migrant, communities who have begun to settle in Bermondsey after many years of exclusion.
Through our work, we seek to empower local people, encourage enterprise and community activity, and support the regeneration of an area that has long suffered from the effects of deprivation. Most recently, we have been successful in securing £200,000 from the Esmee Fairbairn Charity for strategy and community engagement support in the local area.
Our key goals are:
- Local people have more say over the changes in their local community.
This means that local people are actively involved in the development of place-based community assets, enterprises and projects. Local people will have more influence on local development and regeneration.
- ·A more diverse range of local people work together to improve their community.
This means community members from a wider range of backgrounds become active citizens. There are better relationships and increased collaboration between local stakeholders.
- People feel proud of their local area, and hopeful for the future.
This means stories and messages about the area are more inclusive and welcoming of diverse perspectives and communities. People are better informed, and know more about the opportunities and assets in their local community.
