Are you an experienced social value or CSR professional that is passionate about making a real difference to the community?

​

You're possibly a Community Development Officer for a local council or housing association, proud of the difference you make but have the desire to take the next step. Are you confident of your ability to lead a small team and ultimately create more impact and change than you are now?

​

If this sounds like you, then we have the perfect role for you.

​

Acre has partnered with one of the UK's leading housing associations and a member of the G15, with thousands of homes across London and the Home Counties. Our client is searching for a Community Development Manager, reporting to the Head of Community Development. You will lead a small team and lead the approach to community investment in priority areas.

​

You will be:

  • Developing high-quality community investment plans for development and regeneration schemes.

  • Creating and nurturing strong relationships with other agencies, collaborating to take a systemic approach to tackle issues experienced by communities.

  • Managing a small team of Community Development Officers, leading by example and supporting them in their professional development.

  • Working closely with Development colleagues to help shape bids for new homes.

  • Identifying partnership opportunities that can result in additional investment and resources to support the building of new homes and services.

​

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • Experience working as a Community Development or Social Value professional within social housing, local government, construction, or a related sector.

  • The ability to lead and develop a small team. We are open to considering those who have not directly line managed before but have the desire to take the next step.

  • Excellent networking skills, both internally across the organisation and with key external stakeholders such as schools and local authorities.
