Llanion, Pembroke Dock
As the largest consumer co-operative in the world, our ethical approach to work has seen us become a
true community retailer . That’s why we’re supporting ‘Communities First’ – a flagship programme of the
Welsh Assembly Government, with funding until at least March 2012, designed to tackle poverty and
social disadvantage. And now, like us, you can help bring real value and success to the world around you.


Communities First Co-ordinator
Temporary Contract until March 2012 • £30,032 - £35,255
Working with the Communities First Partnership Board, and leading the Communities First team,
you’ll help inspire people to transform their local community. You’ll work alongside voluntary and
business sectors, identifying imaginative and sustainable solutions to community issues, while securing
the funding needed to see them through. In fact, you’ll prepare, implement and monitor local action
plans, bringing together a range of strategies from a variety of sources. With extensive knowledge of
the Communities First programme or community-led initiatives, you’ll have bags of experience
developing and managing projects. Moreover , you’ll be competent and creative when seeking funding
and have the ability to maintain outstanding relationships with a range of organisations and individuals.


Communities First Participation Officer
Temporary Contract until March 2012 • c. £18,140
You’ll be right at the heart of things, providing daily support that ensures the local Communities First
Partnership runs smoothly and effectively. From keeping meeting records and developing projects
alongside local groups through to updating spreadsheets, producing publicity, handling enquiries from
the public, developing volunteers, and arranging training and development activities, it’s busy work –
and hugely satisfying. You’ll even have the opportunity to arrange and promote some high-profile
events. PC literate, you’ll have experience of Microsoft Office. It’s important that you have an eye for
detail, are accurate, can follow instructions while also working flexibly across a range of tasks in a
community focussed team. But what might really set you apart is that you’re a natural communicator –
friendly and professional, whoever you’re dealing with.
