Jobs

Communications & Community Coordinator (Greenwich Giving)

The Communications & Community Coordinator will join a small and fast-paced team that is developing a new place-based giving scheme in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. You will be a strong communicator, creative thinker, well-organised, and enjoy working flexibly on early-stage projects. You’ll also feel enthusiastic about working with a diverse range of Greenwich residents, charities, community groups, and businesses, and championing the transformative power of place-based giving.

This role will be responsible for helping to develop and grow the brand of Greenwich Giving and contribute to the creation of our first giving campaigns and grant-making processes. You will also work closely with the Head of Greenwich Giving and the Greenwich Giving steering group to provide administrative and organisational support for different aspects of our work

Programme

METRO started in 1984 as the Greenwich Lesbian and Gay Centre. Today, METRO runs services across five areas – Sexual Health, Community, Mental Health & Wellbeing, Youth, and HIV– and delivers across London and the Southeast.  

Greenwich Giving is a new programme, hosted by METRO’s Community domain and supported by organisations including Royal Borough of Greenwich, City Bridge Foundation, and the London’s Giving network.  

Modelled on similar schemes (such as Islington Giving), Greenwich Giving is based on the idea that everyone has something to give – whether money, time, expertise, or other resources - and that community voice should be at the heart of responding to local needs. We will create persuasive giving campaigns, involve local people in grant-making decisions, and build relationships between Greenwich businesses, charities and communities. Please take a look at the London’s Giving website if you would like to know more about place-based giving.  

The Head of Greenwich Giving began their role in summer 2024 so the scheme is still at an early stage. New team members will have the opportunity to significantly shape what our work looks like moving forward.

Application deadline:

No later than 9:00am on Monday 25th November 2024
