Your new company
Birmingham City Council is proud to serve one of the UK's most diverse and vibrant cities. As part of their ongoing commitment to transparency, community engagement, and public service, they are looking to recruit 3 Community Partnership Officers to join the team to support Councillors in delivering meaningful dialogue with residents. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking organisation that values inclusion, collaboration, and innovation.
Your new role
We are looking for a confident and adaptable individual to join Birmingham City Council as a Community Engagement Support Officer. This temporary part-time role involves supporting Councillors in public meetings across Birmingham and engage effectively with residents. You'll play a key role in ensuring meetings run smoothly, staying on track with agendas, and capturing clear action notes which will then be shared with the team to publish.
This is a temporary part-time role, meetings start from 6:00 PM and may finish around 8:30 PM - 9:00 PM and totalling less than 16 hours per week.
What you'll need to succeed
The ideal candidate will have experience in note-taking and be comfortable working in public-facing environments. You'll need to demonstrate resilience and street smarts, as some meetings may involve challenging conversations and topics with residents. Training and examples will be provided to help you respond appropriately to questions raised during these sessions, however you will have minimal input as your main responsibilities are to take notes. The role does not require a DBS check, but a good understanding of GDPR is important to ensure compliance in all communications and documentation.
What you'll get in return
In return, you'll be part of a supportive and collaborative team, working closely with local Councillors. You'll gain valuable experience in community engagement and public service, with opportunities to develop your communication and organisational skills. This is a meaningful role where your contributions will directly support transparency and accountability in local government. You will also receive an hourly rate of £14.12 per hour, including holiday pay, and will be paid on a weekly basis.
