Ref: SPO0725

This community charity has a unique opportunity for an energetic, people-focused, self-motivated Senior Project Officer to join their Communities Prepared team to develop and provide community resilience training and support for a diverse range of communities.
Summary of role: Communities Prepared is the charity's flagship England-wide community resilience programme which provides training and support to community volunteers and the wider public – helping them to build their confidence, skills, and knowledge to prepare for, respond to, and recover from various threats, including severe weather events amplified by climate change.
With the demand and need for our programme continuing to grow, the charity is looking for a new part-time Senior Project Officer to work closely with the existing delivery team, wider programme team, communities, and partners nationwide to design and deliver online and in-person tailored training and support packages for community volunteers across England.
If you have the confidence and skills to engage with people from a range of backgrounds and have proven experience in delivering training within a community setting, they would love to hear from you. You will also need to be skilled and confident at developing learning content which takes complex information and makes it easy to understand and engaging. An interest in and understanding of climate change and its impact on communities, emergency/risk management, and/or climate adaption and mitigation approaches (e.g. Nature Based Solutions) would be highly advantageous.
In return the charity offers you:
* A competitive salary
* Generous holiday entitlement of 25 days per annum plus public holidays
* Health Cash Plan and 24-hour Healthline
* Employee Assistance Programme - including mental health helpline and face to face counselling.
* Salary sacrifice schemes including cycle to work and pension contributions.
* Family friendly policies to support work/life balance with time off in lieu for out of hours activities
* Business travel expenses
This is a creative, committed, and enthusiastic organisation with a great track record of project development, fundraising and delivery, so there are always opportunities to grow and develop your role within their friendly team.
Closing date for applications: 3 August 2025, 11.59pm
