Help us reach more people!

We are recruiting an Equalities Partnerships Coordinator to lead on developing partnership work with ethnically diverse communities and other under-represented groups. This work will involve research, engagement and representation; building relationships with community groups, charities, businesses and other stakeholders. This is a key role to support our future development and ensure that services are accessible to everyone.

You will build relationships and create partnerships that meet the needs of communities and support the work of our social welfare services for adult carers, adults with complex needs, young carers and children with disabilities. There will be opportunities to deliver training and advise Imago services on the specific needs of communities.

The role supports the wider work of the partnership team in building corporate relationships and fundraising, with scope to work on national and local campaigns, and develop social media and communication to reach new audiences.

Applicants may also draw on personal or volunteering experience. You must be a great networker, and able to build relationships and trust across a range of stakeholders.
