We are looking for a dynamic, effective and innovative communicator with substantial online experience to join our team and help us grow Link UP to new boroughs in London. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a small but enthusiastic team and play a key role in expanding our initiative aimed at mobilizing professional skills to create vibrant, engaged and linked communities.  At Link UP London we do this in 2 ways:

• Through Skilled Volunteering we connect people with professional skills to local charitable organisations on short term (up to 6 months), structured projects that assist the organisation in doing its work better. 
• Through ReLaunch we support women who have been on a career break to re-connect with their skills, build confidence and define a goal for their next steps. 

A little bit about Link UP London

Link UP London began 4 years ago in Battersea and tested the model of connecting people with professional skills within a community to local charitable organisations within that community to help them do their work better. Our projects are structured with flexible time commitments and are designed to fit into busy schedules. Over the past few years we’ve grown to offer our service throughout Wandsworth and Lambeth.

In 2018 we launched our ReLaunch Programme to support professional women on a career break to re-engage with their skills, as this represents one group whose professional skills are vastly underutilised within communities. The ReLaunch workshops offer women safe space in small groups to identify strengths and develop plans for next steps. While skilled volunteering isn’t required as part of this workshop, we support these women into volunteer projects as they offer a wonderful stepping stone back to work by boosting confidence and helping people understand the value of their skills. 

We have continued our skilled volunteering services online over the past few months as well as running our first online ReLaunch session. We have also begun new services such as Flash Consulting and webinars with our skilled volunteers sharing their skills to a wider audience.  We would now like to build on what we’ve learned through our experience to date to help mobilize more skills in structured and effective ways and direct them into communities in some of the most deprived areas of London.
