Community Engagement Lead

Every conversation you have could change someone''s life.

Imagine starting your morning over coffee with a local business owner, sharing ideas for a fundraising partnership. By lunchtime you''re helping a community group bring an event to life, and by the afternoon you''re celebrating someone who''s decided to support an incredible cause after hearing your story.

If you''re someone who loves meeting people, building relationships and creating opportunities, this is your chance to do work that genuinely matters.
