About the Role
Your typical day could start by meeting residents and local community partners at Hugh Cubitt Centre, helping to align priorities and strengthen local relationships. Later, you might attend a partnership roundtable with Islington Council or prepare a funding proposal with Peabody's social value and fundraising teams to support projects in Kings Cross and Holloway Park.

In this role, you’ll play a central part in shaping and delivering place-based community investment plans that are rooted in resident priorities and built on strong partnerships. Working collaboratively with neighbourhood managers, local voluntary sector organisations, and residents, you’ll turn insights into action and create measurable social impact across Peabody’s Islington communities.

You’re a connector and a changemaker. With a strategic mindset and strong facilitation skills, you build trust, drive momentum, and navigate complexity with confidence. You enjoy working in the heart of communities, with a passion for social justice and a clear focus on outcomes.

If you’re ambitious, values-driven, and ready to make a difference, this is the role for you.

Why Join Us?
When you join Peabody, you become part of a team guided by our values: Be Kind, Do the Right Thing, Love New Ideas, Celebrate Diversity, Keep Our Promises, and Pull Together. We believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels supported, included, and empowered.
