Description

Stratford-on-Avon District Council is inviting your organisation to complete the following application to employ a Community Builder for the Clopton & Bishopton areas of Stratford-upon-Avon.

The Community Builder role will provide support for two of the most deprived communities as identified in the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2019 in Stratford-on-Avon District, to harness and build on their existing assets, developing opportunities that promote financial stability, positive health and wellbeing and a strong sense of community.

The Community Builder will seek to minimise the likelihood and impact of social and financial exclusion and increase community resilience through adopting an asset-based community development approach (ABCD). The Community Builder will be located within the communities of Clopton and Bishopton and will deliver improvements in line with Stratford-on-Avon District Social Inclusion Partnership's (SIP) priorities.
This will be achieved through the following activities.
o Community presence
o Engaging with residents
o Supporting the establishment of new groups and activities
o Promoting physical and mental wellbeing
o Supporting anchor organisations to become more sustainable
The Community Builder pilot project began in November 2022 to support the communities and respective community centres in the Bishopton and Clopton areas of Stratford-upon-Avon. The purpose of this project was to understand the existing assets and needs in these communities and mobilise them to increase individual and collective resilience through a range of initiatives and opportunities. The pilot project length was 18 months, and this is a continuation of the work carried out to build on what has been achieved.

The successful organisation will be required to:
o Meet the job description developed by the Community Builder Project Board for the role of Community Builder
o Supervise and undertake normal day-to-day management.
o Develop performance goals in collaboration with the Community Builder Project Board based on existing, and as appropriate, new KPI's.
o Carry out monitoring and measuring of the project's activity and impact, reporting to the Community Builder Project Board
o Develop asset-based community development and an associated funding action plan, seek project and works funding for the Community Builder.
