Role: Community Champion
Voluntary - full support and expenses will be provided.
Purpose
Compassion Acts is a small charity, currently situated at St Peters Centre, St. Peters Road, Southport, PR8 4BY. We support people in need through Southport Foodbank, debt & welfare advice, Food Pantry and life training skills.
The Community Champion will take a lead in promoting and championing the work of Compassion Acts (including Southport Foodbank). This could include a variety of the following elements:
Person Specification
The role will suit someone excited about the work of the charity, who enjoys meeting people and is confident in expressing themselves with individuals and groups.
This role is a vital next step for the charity as it seeks to raise support throughout Southport and Formby. There will be clear guidelines on what a Community Champion can and can’t say on behalf of the charity, so a willingness to follow direction is essential – but then an enthusiasm to work under their own steam is also vital. A full induction will be given.
If you’re interested please write a covering email, telling us why you would like the role, and attach your relevant cv to hello@compassionacts.uk
