Are you an organised, proactive individual who’s passionate about creating inclusive and meaningful opportunities for people with arthritis to get involved? Do you thrive on supporting others and ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes?

We’re looking for an Involvement Coordinator to join our Volunteering and Involvement team within the People and Culture Directorate. You’ll play a key role in coordinating our Involvement Network and Community Involvement Network, helping ensure activities are accessible, inclusive, and impactful for everyone taking part.

About the role

As an Involvement Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in supporting two key communities: our Involvement Network and Community Involvement Network. 

You will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to help coordinate and deliver meaningful involvement opportunities, making sure they are accessible, inclusive, and delivered smoothly. Whether you’re managing day-to-day communications, responding to enquiries, organising activities, or maintaining accurate records, your efforts will ensure our involvement network members feel valued, supported, and engaged.

You will also help improve our systems and processes, advocate for more diverse representation in our networks, and contribute to our continuous improvement approach. A key part of your role will involve supporting and strengthening our Community Involvement Network, working directly with people and communities who are often underrepresented, to ensure their voices are heard and their experiences help shape the direction of our work. 

This role offers the chance to work across teams, build strong relationships, and make a real difference in how people with arthritis influence the services, campaigns, and decisions that impact their lives.

About you

• Is highly organised with strong administrative and coordination skills.

• Can manage data and keep accurate records.
• Understands the importance of inclusion and accessibility.

• Brings energy, empathy, and a commitment to our values: United, Compassionate, Inclusive, and Brave.

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

Benefits

• Flexible hours, environments and working practices to promote a healthy work/life balance.
• Health and wellbeing support – including the Employee Assistance Programme (free confidential 24/7 support with mental health, legal and financial queries).
