Community Coordinator for Active Senior Living

Community Coordinator for Active Senior Life

Do you want to create stronger communities and increase preventive efforts locally?

Two permanent positions • 37 hours • Employment from 1 December • Workplace in Gislev

In Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality we believe that a good life is about more than help and support. It’s about belonging, having relationships and being an active part of a community.

Therefore we are seeking two community coordinators for active senior life to translate the Elder Act’s ambitions on citizenship, communities and prevention into concrete action.

A new function with room to influence development As a community coordinator you will have a central role in the development of the preventive efforts in health and elderly care. You do not need to create more municipal activities. Your task is to strengthen what already exists, develop new opportunities where they can arise, and build bridges between citizens, volunteers, associations, local communities and municipal offerings. The aim is for more seniors to experience belonging, participation and quality of life through an active senior life.

Two positions with local focus We are seeking one coordinator for the northern part of the municipality, including areas around, among others, Ringe, Nr. Lyndelse, Ferritslev and Gislev, and one for the southern part, including the area around Korinth, Faaborg, Faldsled, Millinge and Brobyværk. Both positions are based in Gislev, but tasks are carried out where opportunities arise.

Your main tasks

• support close collaboration with home care and nursing through knowledge sharing about local services and communities that can strengthen citizens' quality of life and independence
• build bridges between older citizens and local activities, networks and communities
• strengthen collaboration with volunteers, associations, churches, cultural institutions and other local actors
• make participation opportunities visible so citizens and partners can find their way more easily
• support new local initiatives where relevant opportunities are lacking, e.g. in nursing homes and in the local area
• facilitate meetings, networks and collaboration processes and translate ideas into action and results
• contribute to the implementation of the Elder Act’s focus on citizenship and prevention.
• Share knowledge about offerings in volunteering with municipal partners

We imagine that you

• are relationship-strong, curious and proactive
• can create engagement and bring together different stakeholders around common goals
• are able to create trust, collaboration and momentum
• work independently and in a structured way and follow up so initiatives are anchored
• have experience with e.g. development tasks, project management, co-creation with civil society
• are a confident facilitator who can stand in front of both small and large groups
• articulate yourself clearly in writing and can prepare briefs and materials.
• have experience with volunteering, prevention or the elderly area.

What you get with us You become part of the Prevention and Communities in Health and Elderly team.

You will have engaged colleagues with different professional backgrounds who work purposefully with their core tasks and are happy to provide professional sparring.

The role is new in the municipality. You will therefore, together with your colleague, have a rare opportunity to shape the role and leave your mark on how we, together with citizens and local communities, create strong communities for the elderly.

You succeed in the role when

• more seniors find their way to and actively participate in local communities
• citizens experience greater belonging, quality of life and opportunity to participate
• the collaboration between the municipality, civil society and volunteers becomes stronger
• the effort supports that more people can maintain an active and independent life for as long as possible.
