Community Engagement Manager – Kingston and Surrey

The Covid-19 pandemic has increased our awareness of the need for the Law Centre to be rooted in the community we serve, in order that we can be certain that we are reaching all those who need our assistance and to be sure that our services meet the needs of our community. 

We have long been aware that Surrey has an advice gap for specialist advice in social welfare law. We are therefore seeking to map out the level of need together with the current advice provision with the view to assisting either the Law Centre to expand into Surrey or for another service to fully develop specialist legal advice. 

Thanks to additional funding, we are recruiting an experienced Community Engagement Manager for a 12-month period, who can develop new relationships with the organisations that could refer to the Law Centre and who can help us to develop new projects in accordance with the needs of the community.

The post is part time, three days (21 hours) a week.

• Salary: £16,800, with an employee pension contribution of 4% salary
• Term: This is a new post, initially funded for a 12-month period
• Reports to: Senior Management Team
• Based at: A partner location with some remote working due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The post will involve travel in and around Surrey.
