Senior Community Organiser

Join us as Senior Community Organiser to grow Connecting for Good into a powerful, strategic collective for change.

Be a strategist behind Coventry’s next wave of grassroots power.Join a tight‑knit team turning 21 community initiatives into one unstoppable force for justice.

Connecting for Good (CfG) is six years into a bold, ten‑year mission—and now we need a SeniorCommunityOrganiser to help us flip the switch from building power to wielding it.

Why this role is different:

• Movement‑level impact:You’ll help shape the collective strategy of 27 self‑organised groups tackling poverty, isolation and discrimination across Coventry
• Small, expert crew:Work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with four experienced community organisers and a supportive teamleader—no silos, no ivory towers
• Part‑time, big influence at 18.5 hours per week—space to balance life while steering city‑wide change
• £39,102 per year, rising after one year to £40,335 (which equates to £19,551 pro rata, rising to £20,167). Fixed term until1 December2027.

What you’ll drive:

• Craft city‑wide power analyses and build high‑stakes relationships with journalists, policymakers and other power‑holders
• Mentor and energise local leaders, turning individual wins into coordinated campaigns that shift systems
• Design and deliver cutting‑edge organising and leadership training that equips more than 135 emerging changemakers to act together
• Guide each initiative toward self‑sufficiency—so by 2027 the movement is self‑governing, connected and impossible to ignore.

The wins you bring:

• A track record of campaigns that moved the needle on injustice—and the stories to prove it
• Skill in mapping power, crafting public narrative, running mass actions and negotiating with decision‑makers
• Confidence to coach others, facilitate tough conversations and celebrate big, public victories.

The culture you’ll love:

We care, we hold each other accountable and back bold ideas with action.

We repay out‑of‑hours effort with TOIL, cherish diverse lived experiences and never lose sight of the people behind the work.

Ready to help Coventry’s communities wield their power together?
