Join the Panel

Active Communities are holding assessment days for Local Community Action Officers for different areas of Birmingham. Potential candidates will have been shortlisted, interviews scheduled and now we need your help!

We want local people play a key role in the process to make sure we get the right person for the job and are looking for local people to join the panel.

One Local Community Action (LCAN) Officer will be working with citizens in the following areas:

• Sparkbrook, Alum Rock, Bordesley Green, Heartlands, Small Heath, South Yardley, Tysley & Hay Mills, Yardley West & Stetchford, Washwood Heath

The Assessment day for the LCAN officer to work in these areas will be on the 23rd April, 9.30am-2.30pm.

Another LCAN officer will work with citizens in the following areas:

• Balsall Heath West, Bordesley & Highgate, Ladywood, Nechells, North Edgbaston

The Assessment Day for the LCAN officer to work in these areas will be on the 2nd May, 9.30 am-2.30pm.

We are now looking for panel members in two more areas of Birmingham in May.

The roles will revolve around organising and motivating people to get involved with local community activities, including social, civic and physical activities.

We want local volunteers to join community panels to hear pitches from candidates and score them. The day will also include an opportunity take part in a group activity which will be facilitated by the potential candidates.
