PURPOSE
The Community Welcomer is a new role, funded by a grant from the National Lottery Community Fund. Working as part of the community team, alongside a Volunteer Co-ordinator and Community Development Worker, you will lead the delivery of daily drop-in sessions to ensure an inclusive and accessible environment where local people feel welcomed, valued and supported to access activities, services and opportunities.
Feedback from residents over the past 2–3 years has consistently highlighted the importance of accessible drop-in support, opportunities for children and families, activities that bring different groups together, and spaces where people feel safe and welcome to participate.
The Community Welcomer will be a visible and trusted presence within the community, helping to foster connection, reduce barriers to participation, and connect people with the support, information and opportunities they need. As the first point of contact for many residents, the role will play a key part in strengthening community connections, encouraging involvement in local activities, and helping to ensure that the Redcliffe Community Hub remains a welcoming and vibrant resource for the whole community. The role will also bring people together across cultural, generational and social divides, developing the trust, understanding and sense of belonging that underpin a strong and connected community.
