Community Development Officer Jobs in Pimlico, Greater London

Are you someone who wants to use your knowledge and skills in the advice field to play a lead role in growing and developing a small service into a leading quality advice provider?

This role would suit someone without management experience, who is already working in an advice role and seeks career development, or equally someone with experience of managing advice services. 

You will have in-depth and up-to-date knowledge and recent experience of providing casework in welfare benefits, and a willingness to seek further training in basic housing and community care. We will consider applicants who can add to their base welfare benefits knowledge with intensive training within a short period.

You will carry your own caseload while also providing line management, mentoring and support to one trainee advisor. We would expect the Advice Manager’s caseload to reduce over time as we develop and grow the number of advisors on the team.

A key aspect of this role will be working with the CEO to get the organisation ready for the Advice Quality Standard and on the recruitment, training and support of volunteer advisors. 

We would expect the post holder to be proactive in developing the service, preparing information to support funding bids and to be able to think creatively on how we can meet the needs of Camden’s diverse disability community through advice and information.

You will be committed to learning more about the Social Model of Disability and will share our vision for a radically inclusive world where people with differences are never Disabled by the society in which they live.

The Organisation:
The Hardman Trust is the only UK charity focused specifically on the needs of people on long term sentences. We support people during their sentence, as they prepare for release, and as they settle back into the community. Our vision is a future where everyone can achieve their potential within and beyond prison.

To find out more about The Hardman Trust, visit our website.

The Role:
The Hardman Trust is at an exciting point in its development as it celebrates the arrival of its new team, the realisation of its first ever strategy and looks forward to the next phase of its journey.

Our recently successful applications to both the Lottery (Reaching Communities) and the City Bridge Trust means we will continue to be part-funded by them until 2027. Deeply rooted in the criminal justice sector, we plan to develop further our programme of support for those on long sentences both within and, we hope, beyond prison too; we aim to extend the reach and deepen the impact of our support and grants; and attract new partnerships with funders and like-minded third sector organisations. We have recently completed a merger with another charity and are open to further such mergers in the future.
