The Community Hub Activities Coordinator will lead the day-to-day coordination of a one-year
walking, wellbeing and social connection programme for Newham residents aged 55 and over. The programme combines a weekly accessible guided walk, delivered in partnership with other external partners with a weekly Community Connection Café facilitated by the postholder.

The postholder will build trusted relationships with residents who may be isolated, inactive, recently bereaved, living with long-term health conditions or lacking confidence to join community activities. They will coordinate outreach, referrals, venues, volunteers, safeguarding, signposting and monitoring
so that participants receive a safe, welcoming and inclusive experience. The role will ensure that walking is a gateway to friendship, confidence, healthier ageing and wider practical support.

Please submit your CV and a cover letter addressing each of the points in the person specification to Shashi.ioannides@renewalprogramme.org.uk

Submissions without a cover letter will not be considered. Deadline: 11 October 2026

We aim to interview candidates on a rolling basis until the post is filled. We may close the ad sooner than initially advertised if a successful appointment is made.

The selection process will consist of

• Shortlisting based on competences matched to the person specification and the JD
• Competence based interview and work-based test
• Provisional job offers are conditional upon receipt of satisfactory references, one of which must be from current or most recent employer, and a DBS check.

The Community Involvement Panel Member will use their experiences, knowledge and ideas to help the Renewal Programme understand what our community needs and how the RenewALL Hub can respond.

The postholder will help us look at what is working well, what could be improved and what opportunities we should develop in the future. The role does not require previous experience of being on a committee or advisory panel.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have experience of using The Renewal Programme’s services, facing the issues that our services respond to, volunteering with us, participating in community activities, or living within the communities we serve.

To apply, please email shashi.ioannides@renewalprogramme.org.uk

Tell us a little about yourself, your connection to the community or The Renewal Programme, and why you would like to be involved.

If your profile is suitable, we will arrange an informal interview. This could be online or in person.

If successful, we will send you a Community Involvement Panel Participation Agreement for you to sign and an induction pack.

Deadline: 18 September 2026
