Are you passionate about fostering independence and building strong communities? Newground Together is seeking a dedicated Project Officer to help empower residents facing financial crisis in and around the Calderdale area.
We value collaboration, respect, and the drive to champion equality, diversity and inclusion. You’ll use your excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills to engage residents in crisis, quickly build trust, and provide vital support. Your advocacy, negotiation and problem-solving abilities will be key in agreeing affordable repayment plans, preventing escalation of debt, and constructively challenging unsustainable spending habits.
As a Financial Inclusion Officer, you’ll manage intensive short-term caseloads, prioritising urgent needs while maintaining accurate records and personalised action plans. You’ll also have the opportunity to facilitate group-based financial capability or cost-of-living sessions, and contribute to monitoring and evaluation by capturing both hard and soft outcomes for residents.
Who we are: Newground Together is a registered charity and part of the Together Housing Group. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower people to create sustainable communities that are connected, resilient, healthy and prosperous. We do this by supporting job and training opportunities, engaging with young people and families, providing memorable outdoor experiences, and offering activities that promote health and wellbeing.
As an organisation we are committed to having a Diverse and Inclusive workforce. We would therefore welcome applications from candidates with any of the nine protected characteristics. We are also proud to be a Disability Confident employer.
Please note that this role is a FTC until June 2027.
