Contract: Fixed Term Contract to 31st March 2020
Location: Main office – Margate with travel around Thanet required
Salary: Circa. £26,000 (depending on experience)

Ageless Thanet is a £3m Big Lottery Fund funded project (part of the national Fulfilling Lives campaign) which will run until 2020. The project is led by Social Enterprise Kent, and is a partnership of voluntary, statutory and private sector organisations which have come together to improve physical and mental wellbeing, and reduce loneliness and social isolation, in older people. For the purposes of this project, “older people” have been defined by the Big Lottery Fund as those aged over 50.

Social Enterprise Kent is a community-interest business dedicated to improving lives and building strong communities in Kent. We help people gain the skills they need to get back into work, and support other local charities, community groups and social entrepreneurs.

We are now recruiting for an Active Citizenship Supervisor to join Social Enterprise Kent on the Ageless Thanet team. This is an exciting opportunity to join an innovative project dedicated to improving the lives of older people in Thanet. The successful individual will need to be flexible, proactive, innovative and have a great eye for detail. They will be an experienced supervisor/staff manager with demonstrable experience. A natural leader, they will be able to manage a team of staff and volunteers, providing clear direction to ensure we achieve our aims and objectives. They will be self-motivated, keen to learn, highly organised and practically minded.

The role will involve carrying out many different duties, including working within and outside the community in the promotion of Ageless Thanet, and understanding the needs of communities across Thanet. This will include, but is not restricted to community organisations, resident groups, businesses and statutory partners. We are especially interested in candidates who can demonstrate cross-sector working.

The successful applicant will ensure our Active Citizenship project is achieving the aims and objectives of Ageless Thanet, as well as the aims and objectives of the national ‘Fulfilling Lives: Ageing Better’ programme, as set by the Big Lottery Fund. These are;

• Older people are less isolated
• Older people are actively involved in their communities with their views and participation valued more highly
• Older people are more engaged in the design and delivery of services that help reduce their isolation
• Services that help to reduce isolation are better planned, co-ordinated and delivered.
• Better evidence is available to influence the services that help reduce isolation for older people in the future.

As a project designed specifically to help older people, we encourage people of all ages to apply, particularly those who represent our target demographic. We believe strongly that age shouldn’t be a barrier to finding employment and we value the skills, experience and wisdom older people have to offer. In particular, experience of working with older people, and a proactive “can-do”, passionate, but effective approach to work and identifying project opportunities is key.


Main duties will include;

• Management of the Ageless Thanet Community Fund, which allows community groups, charities, voluntary organisations and individuals
to apply for up to £1,000 for their idea or activity to provide activity and opportunities for older people. Management includes;
• Managing all necessary processes and procedures for distributing the fund
• Managing the Community Fund steering group and all associated administration
• Processing orders with the Finance Manager and ensuring they are correctly distributed to successful applicants
• Management of a team of two staff who are responsible for the recruitment, training, support and retention of volunteers who are
empowered to become self-sufficient in delivering opportunities for older people in Thanet
• Ensuring older people are fully involved in the design, delivery and evaluation of services, as required by the Big Lottery Fund, throughout
the life of the project. This will include:
• Running focus groups
• Helping to carry out surveys and evaluation
• Capturing feedback from local community engagement
• Organising community events
• Timely and accurate reporting to line manager
• Dealing with customer, partner and stakeholder enquiries
• Supporting continuous improvement on the project team and quickly adapting to changes.
• Any other task as required by your manager
• Supporting and contributing towards project communications and marketing, such as social media, leaflets, posters and promotional
campaigns, also with face to face meetings and phone calls to new and existing clients.

Desirable skills/attributes:

• Significant, demonstrable staff/volunteer management experience
• Experience of effectively managing a budget
• Experience of managing committees/steering groups
• A demonstrable knowledge of Thanet and the community/voluntary sector here
• Experience in public speaking/presentation at all levels

Please note:

Social Enterprise Kent is a flexible employer and we welcome discussions from interested candidates who may need to discuss alternate working hours, or on a part-time basis. Some weekend and evening work is likely to be needed from time to time, but this will be planned in advance.
