Community Coordinator

Are you someone who has the ability to build meaningful relationships with others? Have you thought about using that skill to make a real difference in someone’s life? Our growth across Greater Manchester has been driven by our commitment to supporting people to move out of secure settings through our ‘Homes not Hospitals’ approach. We are passionate about enabling people to live gloriously ordinary lives – in a place they call home, within their local community, and in ways that make sense to them.

To support our continued growth, we are looking for a self‑motivated and values‑driven Community Coordinator. You will use your outgoing personality and proactive approach to make new connections, engage potential candidates, and forge collaborative working relationships in order to provide opportunities for local people to join our teams across Greater Manchester. This role will be central to helping us find people who share our vision and values, who don’t yet know they want to work for us, and may not be looking for jobs in the conventional places.

About the Role

This is not a traditional recruitment role. We want to move beyond simply posting adverts and waiting for applications. We are looking to elevate our recruitment approach by building stronger local partnerships, creating meaningful community connections, involving our local teams, and helping people discover careers in social care in more personal and authentic ways. Using a community asset‑based approach, you will build connections across local communities, develop relationships with partner organisations, and help attract people to careers in social care. Working closely with operational teams, you’ll create innovative recruitment and engagement activities that position MacIntyre as an employer of choice.

A Typical Week as a Community Coordinator

Every week will be different, giving you the freedom to use your initiative and organisational skills to meet recruitment needs across the area. Activities might include:

• Attending community, recruitment and networking events
• Delivering presentations and information sessions to potential candidates
• Planning, designing, and delivering MacIntyre led community events
• Developing new and existing relationships with stakeholders
• Visits to people’s homes across the area and the local North West Hub
• Administration tasks such as posting on social media, managing emails, writing reports, and planning for the weeks ahead

We’d love someone who brings fresh ideas and creativity to help us connect with local communities in new ways. This is a full‑time position (35 hours per week) and will involve some flexibility to work across early mornings, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. You will need a driving licence and access to your own car as this field‑based role will require regular travel around Greater Manchester.

About you

Recruitment experience is not essential. You may have experience in project management, business development, social care, retail, customer service or other community‑facing roles. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, can think creatively about engaging local communities, and has a genuine desire to make a difference while sharing our values. If you’re passionate about community engagement, relationship building, and helping people discover meaningful careers in social care, we’d love to hear from you.
