You will be leading the development of a Community Development Trust in Darnall Ward, Sheffield. This project is running for the next two years with the aim of creating a self-sustaining organisation that will continue beyond the end of this funding.

You will also support with admin tasks and jump in to help the rest of the team when needed. We’re a small organisation with no departments or team leaders, we all contribute where is needed and work as a team.

This project is to address the disparity of Black and brown communities accessing community assets in South Yorkshire. Our priority is to create a safe place where Black and brown people to share their experiences without needing to overexplain or further oppress.
