Become an Academy Community Pioneer

Do you want to make a difference for people living in your community? 

We are looking for an Academy Community Pioneer to work one day a week at our Academy.

The Academy  Community Pioneers will help to bring our community strategy to life by identifying the needs of the community and supporting these being met, with a particular focus on family support and youth work. An important aspect of the work will be forming relationships with existing community groups and building relationships between these groups and the academy. 

You will need to live in or very close to the community served by our academy you are working with. Where two or more academies serve the same or neighbouring communities there may be an opportunity for the same individual to undertake more than one role.

The Academy Community Pioneer will be based in the academy, however  at times there will be the opportunity to work from home, or out in the local community.  The Pioneers will be supported by a Regional Community Manager covering a group of schools. The day / hours to be worked can be flexible regarding days worked depending on individual circumstances to achieve the 7.4 hours.

Please contact elizabeth.garrity@coopacademies.co.uk, Head of Community Development  for more information.
