Be a hands-on organiser behind Coventry’s next wave of grassroots power for greener neighbourhoods.
You’ve already spent time working alongside communities – maybe leading campaigns, helping people come together, or supporting grassroots change. You know the buzz of turning an idea into action, and you’re ready to take the next step.
We’re looking for a Community Organiser who can build strong, trusting relationships, uncover what matters to people, and help them act collectively for the common good.

Hold regular one-to-one meetings with local people to understand their concerns, hopes, and ambitions.

Identify and support formal and informal leaders, helping them develop skills and confidence to lead change.

Create and deliver a communications plan (including social media) to connect and inspire active citizens.
-
Participate in training, reflect on your practice, and share learning so we can all grow.

-
1 year experience in community organising, campaigning, or a related role.
-
A track record paid or voluntary of inspiring others to take action – ideally people with different backgrounds and perspectives from your own.

Evidence of working on projects, events, or campaigns that created real change.
-
Skills in organising yourself and others in fast-moving, sometimes unstructured environments.
