We are looking for a Community Builder to join our team. 

This project is part of the government funded Pride in Place programme and invests in neighbourhood-based approaches that strengthen community connections, amplify resident voice, build local leadership and support collaboration between residents, community organisations and public services.  This new team will sit within the oversight of Together Norfolk*, facilitating these local communities to foster asset-based community development.

This is one of four opportunities.  The other roles are:

• Community Builder: North and South Lynn. 
• Community Builder: Children, Young People, and Families

• Salary: £27,017 per annum.
