The role
You will support the Head of Creative Development in developing and delivering a long-term commitment to community engagement- based on the Of/By/For All Relevance approach- across three pilot areas in Fife: Kirkcaldy, Levenmouth and Lochgelly. You will ensure communities are engaged and supported to have their say about services and issues that affect them, ensuring that their views and perspectives inform OnFife's local service delivery.
You will identify and act on opportunities for meaningful engagement and co-creation that bring audiences into OnFife venues and connect them with services. You will support a core team of staff taking part in community engagement training, leading the development of a framework for community-based relevance using learnings from the training and your own experience to spread effective community involvement practices across OnFife.
As the remit of this role is spread between Kirkcaldy, Lochgelly and Levenmouth, you need to be able to travel to these locations regularly.
About you
You will understand the value of relevance-based work and be experienced in either community engagement, youth work, social work or audience development. You will be used to multitasking in a creative project management environment, as well as creating exciting and engaging programmes that meet the needs of communities. You'll be organised and motivated and enjoy working as part of a team as well as independently. You will be confident in communicating with a wide range of people and using a variety of tools to do so.
