Creative Support is a busy and dynamic national charity with a track record in providing high quality, person-centred support services in over 65 Local Authorities.
We are seeking a motivated and engaging individual to join our Regional Development Team. This busy role will involve sharing the delivery of two large weekly evening discos in Middlesbrough and Stockton on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 6pm – 9.30pm for adults with a learning disability or other support needs, coordinating a small team of staff and helpers, and ensuring the smooth running of these events. Additionally, you will support the setup of a further disco in Darlington on Wednesday evenings and look for further opportunities to expand the discos and utilize partnerships with other organizations.
As part of the role, you will also develop, plan, and deliver social activities across the region, focusing on the north (County Durham, South Tyneside, North Tyneside, Gateshead, and Newcastle), for service users, including delivering existing activities as part of our wider offer. You will work closely with our Regional Development Team and support wider regional development initiatives.
The successful candidate will be skilled in planning and delivering events and activities, effective communication and networking, maintaining records, and coordinating resources. You must be well-organized, hard-working, and flexible as this role is demanding, involving multiple stakeholders and services. Enthusiasm for working directly with people to create meaningful opportunities is essential.
A genuine interest in and awareness of the wider social care sector is desirable. Continuous professional development will be provided, but you must be able to work independently and flexibly to meet the goals and changing needs of the organization.
You will be based between our Stockton Regional Office and Gateshead Area Office, with the requirement for travel to services across the North East region. Applicants must possess a clean and valid driving license and have access to a vehicle.
