As a Community Engagement Officer, you will be passionate about supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable people, with the ability to work with culturally diverse communities and groups. You will work with minimal supervision and be a vital and visible community resource. You will be responsible for engaging and supporting clients, and for developing effective working relationships with community partners.
Broadly, your primary responsibilities will cover the following areas:
- Act as the ‘face’ of CABB locally & build trust,
- Support the development and delivery of our social media communications,
- Attend community & stakeholder engagement events,
- Assess urgent matters which need specialist input and arrange internal referrals to colleagues within CABB for further information/ specialist advice & casework in money advice, welfare benefits, immigration, housing and community care,
- Support clients to access a specialist adviser via video chat software.
Our vision is for the Community Engagement Officer to be based wholly within the community, with some office attendance to meet with colleagues. They will have no casework responsibilities.
