Organisation:Age UK Gateshead

Job Title: Community Development Worker

Reporting to: Service Manager

Working Hours: 21 Hours

Location: Gateshead & Newcastle

Salary: £12.21 per hour

Probation Period: 6 Months

About the Role

In this role, you'll be at the heart of your community, helping older people feel connected, confident, and supported. You'll build meaningful relationships with people who may be experiencing loneliness or social isolation, offering both one-to-one befriending support and opportunities to become involved in local community life.

This could include supporting someone to make their first video call to family, access online services, use email, or stay connected with friends and community groups.

Every day will be different. One day you might be visiting someone in their home for a friendly chat, helping them regain confidence and reconnect with their community. The next, you'll be supporting a lively community event full of music, laughter, and friendship. You'll be a trusted, familiar face, helping people overcome barriers, build confidence, and feel valued, connected, and part of their community.
