We are looking for an Academy Community Pioneer to work one day a week with Co-op Academy New Islington. Much of the work will be from home or in the academy, or out in the local community.  

The academy pioneers will help to bring our community strategy to life by identifying the needs of the community and supporting these being met, with a particular focus on family support and youth work. An important aspect of the work will be forming relationships with existing community groups and building relationships between these groups and the academy.
