Job Description

Support a growing movement of people building better quality, more affordable homes for themselves and their communities.

Community Led Housing London is a resource and advice hub, supported by the Mayor of London, and hosted by CDS Co-operatives (a small housing association). We provide support, expertise and funding to help people create community land trusts, housing co-ops, and cohousing. That means long term homes, not financial assets, and giving people power over how they want to live.

Working with the team, you will also take responsibility for a range of social media, communications, and events activities to engage, inform, and help to grow the capacity of Londoners to play a leading role in creating their own housing solutions.

We would like to hear from you if you enjoy a variety of tasks and challenges, are well-organised, creative, enterprising, flexible and are able to deliver on the detail, without losing sight of the bigger picture. You will be able to turn your hand to a wide range of tasks. You will be a natural organiser and communicator.

You will be a star performer in this role if you:

• ; Are really organised, and good at prioritising.
• ; Have a methodical mind and approach to work, with acute attention to detail
• ; Are naturally inclined to finish what you’ve started, and get things done
• ; Bring energy, passion and personal values to the role
• ; Love and understand the power of language, with great written and visual communication skills
• ; Use the internet regularly to harness information and love social media in particular Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

You will be employed by CDS Co-operatives, our host organisation based in Borough / London Bridge, although homeworking is a possibility.
 

Please ensure that you address the requirements in the downloadable person specification, with examples.
