An exciting opportunity has arisen at Weymouth Town Council to lead the Council’s support for communities, ensuring residents are helped to develop happy and supportive communities where everyone can flourish and enjoy this wonderful town. The Council serves a population of over 55,000 people. It has a range of services including Weymouth beach, promenade, parks, gardens, events, cemeteries, public toilets, allotments and community development.
As the postholder, you will have responsibility for working with communities and supporting local voluntary organisations. You’ll be a confident communicator and ensure engagement with communities helps to address community issues, social mobility and relative deprivation. You’ll be experienced in writing action plans, volunteer management, group support, grant bid writing, organising events and meetings, and project work.
