For over 40 years, The ClementJames Centre has been offering local people the skills, knowledge, opportunities and support they need to achieve their potential. We are looking for a high-calibre candidate to join our team as Community Development Worker (Information, Advice and Guidance).
We have come a long way since our founding – from a straight-forward homework club to a well-established community support charity, transforming the lives of close to 3,000 people each year. Our dedicated staff team is essential to the success of everything we do. Together, we work towards a fairer society where everyone is empowered to release their potential and live fulfilled lives.
Our Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) strand is a significant part of our provision, helping adults to achieve their ambitions. ClementJames operates in an area of considerable inequality, and as such is seen as a vital service for hundreds of undeserved adults and their families facing day-to-day challenges. Through this role you will play a vital role in helping people to receive vital information and support in areas including housing, obtaining grants and benefits. You will also get the unique opportunity to work with and learn from other specialist providers who partner with ClementJames, expanding your knowledge base and capacity to provide holistic support to our clients. It is important that you have a passion for working with people facing significant barriers ideally on a 1-2-1 basis.
ClementJames recently introduced a 9 day fortnight policy through which staff members will work 9 days over a fortnight and have a Friday off. We have introduced this as a way of prioritising staff wellbeing, and ensuring individuals have a strong work-life balance. This policy will apply to you.
