Community Engagement Project Assistant

Age UK Wandsworth is an independent local charity. We've been working in the local community to help older people for over 60 years. We have dedicated staff and over 300 volunteers helping us to deliver services and activities for older people in Wandsworth.

An opportunity has arisen to join our growing Community Engagement Team assisting older people and/or vulnerable adults to improve or maintain their overall wellbeing and stay independent for longer whilst enabling them to retain, gain or regain independence.

The Community Engagement Project Assistant role will include delivering groups and activities, hosting events and working with clients in their homes, within our day centre, and in community settings such as libraries, job centres, sheltered accommodation and other voluntary sector organisation hubs.

The service aspires to support, but is not limited to, older Wandsworth residents in the following groups: BAME; dementia; digitally isolated; financially isolated; LGBTQ; socially isolated; women; and those with, or at risk of, mental and/or physical ill health and disabilities.

What we can offer you:

·      A vibrant workplace where no day is ever the same

·      An experienced and supportive leadership team

·      Kind and caring colleagues who work as a team

·      A great employer’s pension contribution

·      A cycle to work scheme

·      An employee shopping benefits scheme
