Community Connector

At East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH), we support children and young people with life‑threatening conditions, and their families, to receive care where and when they need it.

We are strengthening how we work with communities to ensure more families can access support earlier, feel connected, and receive care in a way that reflects their individual needs.

We are looking for a Community Connector to help build meaningful relationships across our communities, improve access to our services, and support inclusive, community‑based approaches to care.

About the role:

This is an opportunity to play a key role in developing connections between EACH and the communities we serve.

You will:

Build relationships with local communities, organisations and partners to increase awareness of EACH services

Work alongside under‑represented communities to support more equitable access to care

Support outreach activity, events and community‑based initiatives across the region

Work with families and partners to co‑produce inclusive engagement opportunities

Provide information, advice and signposting to families and professionals

Contribute to developing approaches that enable care beyond hospice settings

You will also work closely with colleagues across care, volunteering and fundraising teams to ensure a joined‑up and coordinated approach.

About you:

We welcome applications from people with a range of experiences, including those working in health, social care, community or voluntary settings.

You will bring:

Experience of working with families, communities or partner organisations

Experience supporting community‑based activities, outreach or engagement

The ability to communicate clearly with different audiences

The ability to build and maintain positive working relationships

An awareness of equality, diversity and inclusion in community settings

You will also be able to work independently, manage your workload, and adapt your approach to suit different communities and situations.

We recognise that people may meet these criteria through a variety of experiences, including paid work, volunteering or community involvement.

We would particularly like to hear from individuals who have connections within local communities in the Peterborough area.

This role is part of our work to:

Improve access to hospice care for all communities

Build strong local partnerships

Support earlier connection to services

Enable care that reflects the needs of children, young people and families

We value the insight and experiences of the communities we serve and are committed to ensuring these shape how our services develop.
