About We Are Footprint

At We Are Footprint, we're not just a recruitment company — we're a people-first, values-driven organisation with a mission to make recruitment more ethical, inclusive, and impactful. We partner with clients across the UK to help them deliver measurable social value — from supporting local employment and education initiatives to community partnerships and charity engagement.

Now, we're looking for someone who shares our passion for making a difference and wants to play a key role in delivering and promoting our social value strategy both internally and externally.

The Role

As our Social Value Coordinator, you'll work closely with our Social Value Director to plan, deliver, and communicate our social value initiatives. You'll help us engage with communities, schools, charities, and small businesses, ensuring our projects have a positive and lasting impact.

This is a varied and rewarding role that combines coordination, communication, and creativity — perfect for someone who loves working with people and making things happen.

What You'll Be Doing

• Supporting the delivery of social value projects and commitments across We Are Footprint and our client network.
• Building partnerships with schools, charities, and community organisations.
• Assisting with initiatives such as care leaver and NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) engagement.
• Helping research, plan, and deliver social value strategies for SME clients.
• Leading on communications — writing newsletters, updating project websites, and managing social media content.
• Supporting marketing and events to promote our social value success stories.
• Collaborating with the wider team to identify and deliver new social value opportunities.

About You

You're a people person with a genuine desire to make a difference. You're organised, creative, and confident communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Confident, adaptable, and proactive
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• Positive, collaborative team player
• Ethical, dependable, and accountable
• Creative flair for content and storytelling (especially via social media)
• Experience in social value, community engagement, CSR, or recruitment is a bonus — but if you're passionate about purpose-driven work and eager to grow, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join We Are Footprint?

• Be part of a purpose-led recruitment company making real community impact
• Work with a supportive, ambitious, and values-driven team
