The Vacancy
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.
