Community Engagement Coordinator

Our client is looking for a highly organised, confident communicator to join their team as a Community Engagement Coordinator, reporting into the Team Manager who manages a team of 6. This role is all about building strong relationships, engaging with residents face-to-face and in writing, and making sure customer voices are heard and acted upon.

This is a hybrid role, combining working from home with travel across the Pontefract, Castleford, and Wakefield areas. You’ll need to use your own vehicle, and mileage will be reimbursed.

You’ll support engagement, consultation, and activity across the business, particularly during improvement works and new developments. You’ll help tenant and resident groups grow, feel empowered, and influence decision-making, while ensuring engagement activity is well planned, clearly communicated, and professionally delivered. 

Key focus of the role:

• Engaging and building rapport with residents, tenants, and community groups and internal team
• Communicating clearly and confidently, both in person and in writing
• Coordinating consultation and engagement activities and events
• Supporting tenant and resident groups with advice, funding, and practical support
• Maintaining accurate records, databases, and engagement plans

About you:

• An excellent communicator who enjoys working with people
• Highly organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities
• Confident engaging with a wide range of people and communities
• Comfortable working independently and travelling across local areas
• Able to use your own vehicle for work, with mileage reimbursed

This is a people-focused role for someone who enjoys engagement, organisation, and making a positive impact within local communities.
