We have an opportunity for a Children, Young People and Families Community Engagement Coordinator to join the organisation on a permanent basis. This role provides an excellent opportunity to support children, young people and families to improve mental health and emotional wellbeing through preventative and early intervention approaches.
You will build strong, meaningful and respectful relationships with community leaders, communities of identity and families who may face barriers to participation. You will connect with people across a range of settings, ensuring engagement is inclusive, meaningful and shaped by the voices and experiences of the communities TOGS Mind supports.
The role involves being present within communities, attending local events and activities, building trust over time, strengthening referral pathways and identifying shared themes, interests and priorities. Using these insights, you will lead the development, coordination and delivery of flexible, theme‑based workshops, courses and engagement activities in collaboration with colleagues.
This is a developing role with the opportunity to shape how engagement activity evolves through ideas, creativity and reflective learning.
What you will bring to TOGS Mind:
To be considered for this role, we are looking for experienced candidates that can draw upon their knowledge, lived experience and engagement skills to build and sustain trusted, respectful relationships with children, young people, families and community leaders, particularly those who may face barriers to participation, using culturally sensitive and inclusive approaches.
You will bring knowledge and understanding of the Health and Social Care sector, preventative and early‑intervention approaches and how community‑based activity can reduce inequalities and improve outcomes.
You will have the ability to work effectively with colleagues and partners to design and deliver responsive, theme‑based engagement activities, showing creativity, initiative and reflective learning to adapt approaches based on community feedback and emerging needs.
