Changing Futures is a programme that is dedicated to listening to, involving, and empowering people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage. We design and deliver services with people, not for them, ensuring their voices shape meaningful and lasting change.

The Programme & Learning Coordinator plays a pivotal role in developing and delivering the CoProduction output.

This role combines programme coordination, learning facilitation, and being a front-facing champion of our activities, requiring someone who is confident engaging with a wide range of stakeholders across Sheffield — including professionals, partners, and people with lived experience.

The postholder will be part of a team designing, promoting and delivering engaging learning and development opportunities focused on communication, self-development, employability, co-production principles and peer mentoring, ensuring these are accessible, empowering and aligned with South Yorkshire Housing Association’s commitment to impact, inclusion and integrity.

As Programme & Learning Coordinator, you will work across these three key areas:

Programme Coordination & Delivery

• Communication and confidence-building
• Self-development and personal growth
• Employability and progression
• Co-production and lived experience leadership
• Peer mentoring principles and practice

Promotion, Engagement & Stakeholder Relationships

• Be a confident ambassador for the programme, promoting opportunities, events and learning activities across Sheffield.
• Build and maintain effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders including:
• Housing, health, social care and voluntary sector partners
• Community organisations
• People with lived experience
• Represent the programme at meetings, forums and events, clearly articulating the value of co-production and peer-led approaches.
• Support communications activities, including contributing to promotional materials, briefings and presentations.

Who you are:

You’ll be a positive, empathetic, and motivated individual who’s passionate about giving a voice to the voiceless, amplifying lived experience. You’ll have experience either personally or professionally of working with people facing multiple disadvantage, and you’ll be committed to creating safe and supportive environments where people can thrive.

You’ll also bring:

• Understanding of multiple disadvantage and trauma-informed practice.
• Experience of coordinating programmes or projects, ideally within housing, social care, voluntary or community settings.
• Proven ability to engage, promote and build relationships with diverse stakeholders across a city or region.
• Confidence in designing and delivering training or group learning sessions.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills, including the ability to adapt style for different audiences.
• A values-led approach with a strong commitment to co-production, inclusion and lived experience leadership.
• Ability to work reflectively, proactively and flexibly in a changing environment.
