Community Development Support Officer

The Community Development Support Officer will support the work of the Community Development Officer in enabling people in Stroud to bring about social change, improve the quality of life in their local area and shape their own futures.

The role will support the Council’s goal of bringing people together and acting as a link between our community and a range of public and voluntary sector providers.

The priorities are:

• addressing inequality, particularly in communities perceived to be culturally, economically or geographically disadvantaged
• stimulating community projects which address social isolation and loneliness
• addressing community safety concerns relating to antisocial behaviour; alcohol and drug misuse; and homelessness
• promoting healthy lifestyles, for example: active travel (walking and cycling to work and school); community gardening; play, sport and exercise.
• raising aspirations for young people, empowering them to create positive change in their local area.
