Looking to Make a Real Difference in Your Community?
Do you enjoy connecting with people, working together, and being part of something meaningful? Are you passionate about helping others live healthier, more connected lives?
We’re looking for a Community Connector to join our friendly and supportive Wellbeing Collaborative Team. In this role, you’ll help link people to the fantastic support available through local charities, voluntary organisations, and community groups across Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole, and wider Dorset.
Whether it’s supporting someone as they leave hospital or helping them find a local group that boosts their wellbeing, your work will make a real difference to people’s lives and help strengthen local communities.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building positive relationships with professionals, volunteers, and community partners
- Supporting people to find and access local services that help them stay well and independent
- Spotting where support is missing and helping to shape new, community-led solutions
- Championing the work of local charities and groups, and helping raise awareness of what’s available
- Working in both hospital and community settings to connect people with the right support at the right time
About You
You’re someone who enjoys meeting people, listening, and making connections. You care about your community and understand how important local support can be. You’ll also appreciate the role of the voluntary sector and how it works alongside services like the NHS and local councils.
You don’t need formal qualifications—just a good standard of English and Maths, and a genuine desire to help others. If you’ve worked in hospital discharge, reablement, or community signposting before, that’s great—but if not, don’t worry. We’ll provide all the training and support you need.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary
- 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays)
- Contributory pension scheme
- Season train ticket loan
- Flexible working arrangements
- A supportive, inclusive and inspiring team environment
