About The Role
BBLP South is seeking a Social Impact Coordinator to join our busy Social Impact team covering East Sussex and working across project sites in the county.
As our Social Impact Coordinator, you will be working within our team to support the organisation and delivery of events and programmes that deliver against our project requirements and make a difference to local people within the communities we work. This new role is required to support both the social and environmental managers with their data collection and reporting.
What you'll be doing
* Supporting our East Sussex contract to deliver social impact outcomes by developing local networks of school groups, community groups, third sector organisations, employability partners and charities.
* Co-ordinating attendance at events with schools, colleges and universities in areas of STEM and construction careers including developing relationships with local schools and education organisations.
* Promoting apprenticeship opportunities both with Balfour Beatty and through our supply chain.
* Coordinating charitable donations and community-based volunteering opportunities.
* Reporting and monitoring sustainability impact outcomes which includes evidencing local labour, local spend, arranging work experience, recruitment from priority groups including participants from pre-employability support programmes, positive destination programmes and coordinating community-based activities.
* Supporting project teams to create and distribute project newsletters, comms for our social streams and updates to local community.
* Promoting the successes of our project teams’ social impact through creating case studies, good news articles and promoting successes internal and external.
Who we're looking for
* A genuine passion for making a difference and supporting BBLP’s vision to create local sustainable job opportunities.
* An awareness of the 'Social Impact' landscape in the South and the ethos of socially sustainable development.
* Excellent communication and planning skills and the ability to 'get things done' on projects that often have multiple interested stakeholders.
* Experience of working in a community facing role is desirable but not essential.
* Strong IT skills across the Microsoft suite and comfortable learning about and working with new and evolving digital tools for reporting of outcomes.
