About the role
We’re looking for a part time Creative Community Builder to join the Make/Shift team.
We want to work with someone who enjoys collaborating across difference and is comfortable with and excited by change.
This is a new role in the team, working alongside our current Creative Community Builder, with a specific focus on participation and networks. As the lead on our new Movers, Shakers and Community Makers work strand, we’re on the lookout for someone who is excited about testing new ways of shifting more power and resources to communities, facilitating citizen-led decision making, and helping to weave together equitable, inclusive networks.
As Creative Community Builder you will play an essential convening role, helping to grow a network of makers, doers and connectors who have access to the resources and platforms they need to make things happen together in the places they live and to invite their neighbours along to join them.
To thrive in this role you will be passionate about the power of peer-to-peer networks, committed to strengths based community development and curious about working proactively with communities to self-organise, solicit resources and make decisions for themselves about the cultural and creative experiences they want to grow in the places where they live.
We are hosted and employed by the University of Derby as part of their CivicLab.
Please note this role is 3 days per week.
