United Communities is a growing charity that champions community-led, place-based approaches to local development, building on the strengths already present in neighbourhoods. By working with schools, we help create sustainable community anchors that deepen relationships, connect sectors and support local people to take action on the things they care about, where they live.
Our core offer is to support schools to develop community hubs that are shaped by their local context and rooted in relationships. The community hubs we work alongside offer a wide range of opportunities – from youth spaces and places for residents to connect, to community allotments and access to school facilities beyond the school day. Whether it’s community pantries, toddler groups or youth-led social action, we champion initiatives that are created with, and led by, local people.

United Communities is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, young people and adults, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All roles require an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and shortlisted candidates will be subject to an online check.
United Communities approach to recruitment and development is rooted in recognising people’s skills, experience, and potential. United Communities reflects many backgrounds, identities and experiences, and we value the strength this brings to our work. We do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, disability, sex, age, relationship status, religion/belief or sexual orientation. We always appoint on merit, and encourage open conversations about what flexible working could look like for you.
