We are looking for someone who is passionate about supporting older people to get their voices heard and making a real difference to the way that people experience services and access their communities. We are looking for someone who is creative and with good understanding of community development approaches. A great collaborator and communicator, you will need to engage with many different people and groups, making connections in large and small organisations, with other GMCA equalities panels and a diverse range of people from all communities.
