Eventually we want our community advocates to launch and manage a work placement programme in the community of their choice, remotely or in person.

We'd like you to spend up to 4 hours preparing a pitch/proposal (this could be in any form - such as a power point presentation, a written document, a hand drawn storyboard, a notion page or simply you talking to us) to share more about the community you'd want to create a collaborative work placement programme for, and why you chose that community.

A community could be centred around a location, people's protected characteristics, a set of skills or a specific sector, a set of interests.

You might want to consider:

• Why our collaborative work placement programme would be so suited to this community?
• How you'd find people to take part within that community/programme?
• What you would need in order to make the programme a success in that community?
• What you might change to make the programme as relevant as possible/ make it fit the context?

We will not be assessing you on the specifics of the community you have chosen (such as numbers and budgets - the world is your oyster!), nor will you be penalised if you don't feel you can complete the task in the time set. Instead through this task and the interview questions that follow we are most interested in understanding:

• Your level of curiosity - what information do you seek to help you with the process?
• Your capacity for relationship-building - how do you think about creating the connections you need within that community?
• Your approach to building on existing ideas and iterating/adapting things to suit different contexts
• The unique perspective or experiences you might bring to our team
• Your awareness of how you can improve on your own work

When it comes to the interview you will have up to 15 minutes to talk us through your pitch/proposal and then we'll spend 15 minutes asking questions and sharing our reflections on what you have pitched, followed by 15-30 minute of further questions about the role which will be shared the day before your interview.

Everyone that takes part in this process will be paid £47.50 to cover up to 5 hours of your time (4 hours on the task and 1 hour interviewing).
