Ascension Community Trust (ACT) is a much-loved community-based charity in Custom House, Newham. We deliver a range of projects including Newham District Foodbank (a Trussell Trust foodbank run by ACT and two community partners), welfare benefits advice, immigration advice, ESOL classes, work with adults with learning difficulties, as well as work with children, young people and their families. This an exciting time for the programme with a SEND school being built next door to our centre, and with established relationships with several care homes we expect that this programme will go from strength to strength. The programme currently consists of: Inclusive Art Group Supported Volunteering Weekly Community Meal Gardening Project with children from a local SEND school. You will have the leadership skills to support a small team of sessional staff. You will be at ease in relating to adults and children with learning difficulties as well as their parents and carers. You will be passionate about the well being and integration of people with learning difficulties with an understanding of their needs. Christian belief is not a requirement of the role; however, it is essential that the successful candidate will be comfortable working in sympathy with our values. If you share our values and want to make an impact within Newham, then we look forward to hearing from you!
