Community Coordinator
(Part-Time)
Working with TimeGivers offers a fun and active opportunity to acquire new skills and gain experience while making a positive impact on children's lives.
Being part of our team allows you to contribute your time to any of our diverse projects. Throughout the year, we organise several school trips, after-school giving-back clubs, and family events, all aimed at connecting children with their wider community.
Our activities focus on three key areas: the environment, crisis relief, and addressing social isolation. Examples of these activities include bulb planting, garden regeneration, cooking clubs, arts and crafts clubs, litter picks, and engaging with residents at care homes through singing or games.
Our events require trained TimeGivers staff to facilitate them and ensure that they are fun, and safe leaving everyone involved feeling happy about their experience. As an events coordinator, this will be your responsibility. You will undergo in-depth training and a DBS check to run a number of events yourself. With such a broad range of activities to choose from, we are also keen to explore any specific skills you may possess to create tailored events.
Another facet of this role is in exploring new partnerships with organisations in designated areas. This would involve researching charities near our schools, making an initial connection with them and vetting the location to ensure it's a good fit for our charity.
This role provides a genuine opportunity to make a meaningful difference.
