About the Role
* We are looking for a Community Development Worker to grow and embed our work across The Wirral and Langley.
* This is a front‑facing, relationship‑driven role focused on building long‑term community partnerships, expanding access to our food services, and making sure Can Cook is part of local decision‑making around food, regeneration and planning.
* You will also be a local advocate for our campaigning messages — affordable fresh food, UPF‑free eating, and practical solutions to hunger — ensuring they are central to everything we do locally.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Building strong, lasting relationships with community groups, residents, councils, housing providers and local partners
* Developing and expanding Can Cook’s meal services, food training and mobile shop in both districts
* Representing Can Cook at local planning, regeneration and food partnership meetings
* Promoting our UPF‑free approach and campaigning messages through local engagement and events
* Identifying local funding opportunities and supporting funding bids
* Feeding community insight back into service development and organisational learning
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need to tick every box, but you should bring:
* Experience in community development, partnership working or grassroots delivery
* Confidence representing an organisation and influencing local conversations
* A strong belief in food justice, dignity and practical solutions to hunger
* The ability to work independently across two locations
* A clear alignment with our UPF‑free, campaigning approach
* Experience of community food projects, social enterprise, funding bids or local systems is a bonus — but not essential.
Why Join Us
* Be part of a values‑led, campaigning organisation
* Shape real, practical food solutions that work for communities
* Help challenge the dominance of ultra‑processed food
* Work in a role with autonomy, purpose and influence
* Potential for the role to become permanent
