Stour Health and Wellbeing Partnership is recruiting a Community Builder (Rural) to start in January 2026
Competitive salary of £32,888 per annum (pro rata), flexible working hours 22.5 hours per week (days to be agreed to include Thursdays).
Do you have an understanding of the challenges faced by the rural community and want to make a real difference?
Stour Health and Wellbeing Partnership (SHWP) is seeking to appoint a second Community Builder to work with residents and stakeholders in the more rural Stour areas to foster partnership working, connect and strengthen local communities and to reduce social and rural isolation. By really listening to local people, the post holder will help local communities to identify the challenges faced and what residents want and support them in creating new initiatives or enhancing existing ones to meet these needs. The aim is to improve links between services, existing groups, new initiatives and the community to increase community health and wellbeing. We are looking to appoint a skilled relationship builder with strong interpersonal skills and an understanding of rural challenges to connect, coordinate and support initiatives. Experience of managing projects and measuring their impact is desirable.
To apply for this role, you are required to hold a full driving licence and have the use of a car for work purposes.
Hours are flexible but the postholder will be required to work on Thursdays and there may be some occasional evening and weekend working.
This is a hybrid role with travel across the rural Stour area.
A two page cover letter should be sent with your CV. Please contact Kirsty Holder (Chief Executive) by email kirsty@shwp.org.uk for an application pack.
