An exciting and rare opportunity has arisen for the right person to work closely with the People and Communities Team within the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales.  Investing in six places across the UK, the Foundation aims to strengthen small community led organisations and find new ways of designing and resourcing services so that people facing complex issues get the support they need, when they need it and in ways that work best for them.

We are looking for a highly motivated and resilient person to lead the People and Communities work in Merthyr Tydfil. The role requires  facilitation,  negotiation  and  diplomacy  skills  to  bring together cross sector systems leaders, alongside young people, to strengthen  a  preventative  focussed  pathway  in  Merthyr  that supports the emotional wellbeing of young people.

This will require a solid understanding of the issues faced by partners  across  the  public,  Voluntary,  Community  and  Social Enterprise (VCSE) and private sectors, alongside knowledge of the complexities faced by young people in Merthyr Tydfil. You will be energetic and enthusiastic with a good eye for detail, enabling us to deliver our emerging programme of work with excellence.

Full and extensive training and support is provided through the team  at  LBFEW  and  via  peer  support  from  other  Local Implementation Leads working across England and Wales.
