Community Development Worker

Community development workers help local communities to bring about social change and improve the quality of life in their area. They work with individuals, families, and groups to identify issues that affect them and develop practical solutions. The role often involves organising meetings, supporting community groups, providing information about local services, and helping people access funding and other resources. Community development workers may focus on a particular issue, such as housing, health, or youth engagement, and work closely with local councils, charities, and other organisations. This career is well suited to those who are passionate about making a positive difference, have strong communication skills, and enjoy working with a wide range of people.
