Job Description

Community Engagement Coordinator

Nottingham

£29,539 - £34,613 per annum

Fixed‑term contract until April 2027

Full‑time role, Monday to Friday

Want to help shape the future of social housing for young people?

This is an exciting 12-month fixed‑term opportunity to lead a brand‑new, government‑funded service that puts young people’s voices at the heart of social housing in Nottingham.

You’ll coordinate and inspire a team of young Community Networkers (aged under 26, all living in social housing), supporting them to share their lived experiences, views and expectations with landlords and partners across the city. Their insight will directly influence services, improve ways of working, and strengthen the support available to young residents.

If you’re passionate about social housing, believe in the power of lived experience, and love bringing people together to make real change happen, this role is for you.

What you’ll be doing

As Community Engagement Coordinator, you’ll:

· Lead, support and motivate a team of young Community Networkers to amplify the voice of young people in social housing

· Recruit, train and develop volunteers, helping them build confidence and skills

· Plan and deliver engaging events, forums and activities that encourage honest feedback and open conversation

· Work closely with Nottingham City Council, Places for People and other partners to align priorities and shape strategy

· Gather insight and feedback, track outcomes, and report learning to internal partners and central government

· Explore creative and inclusive ways to engage young people and keep participation meaningful

· Act as a key advocate for the customer voice, ensuring feedback leads to real change

What you’ll bring

You’ll be a natural self‑starter who’s comfortable taking ownership, trying new ideas and learning as you go.

You don’t need to tick every box, but you’ll likely have:

· Experience of community engagement, customer involvement or event coordination

· Confidence working with and motivating young people from diverse backgrounds

· A proactive, energetic approach and a genuine desire to make a difference

· Strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships quickly

· Great organisation skills, with the ability to juggle practical tasks and people‑focused work

· Empathy, patience and excellent listening skills

· An interest in and understanding of social housing and the challenges young people face

Why join us?

Be at the heart of a high‑profile, government‑funded project that’s doing things differently. You’ll see the impact of your work in real time, improving outcomes for young people across Nottingham while feeding insight directly into national policy and practice. You’ll join an organisation that truly values inclusion and collaboration and help deliver a project with the potential to scale nationally, positioning us as trailblazers for change.
