Join Ebbsfleet Green Primary School as our First Community Ambassador

Be the Bridge Between School and Community!
Hours: 15–16 per week
Contract: 2-year fixed term
Term Time Only: 38 weeks per year

Are you passionate about connecting people, building strong community links, and making a real difference for children and families? Do you love bringing people together and creating opportunities that help everyone thrive?

This is a unique opportunity to lead our community engagement work — building meaningful partnerships between families, local organisations, and the school.

About the Role

As our Community Ambassador, you will:

• Build relationships with local businesses, charities, and services

• Support and organise events like coffee mornings, family workshops, and community days

• Represent the school in the local area and raise its profile

• Signpost families to support services and local resources

• Work closely with our inclusion and wellbeing teams, and the wider Trust network

From welcoming families at the gate to coordinating projects that bring our community together — this role is about connection, creativity, and care.

You’ll work independently but never alone, supported by a friendly team at school and a Trust-wide network of Community Ambassadors. Your time will be split between the school site, the local community, and occasionally working from home.

Who You Are

You’re approachable, empathetic, and a natural communicator. You can build trust, organise your time effectively, and adapt to the changing needs of families and the school. Most importantly, you’re passionate about helping others and making a difference.

You might have experience in:

• Running school or community events (e.g. PTA, fundraisers, youth clubs)

• Volunteering with local groups or charities

• Supporting families or working in customer or community-facing roles

If you’ve ever played a role in connecting people or supporting your community — we’d love to hear from you.

What We Offer

At Ebbsfleet Green Primary School, we’re proud to be a growing, inclusive, and community-rooted school. As part of the Maritime Academy Trust, we invest in our people and help every member of our team thrive.

You can expect:

• A school deeply connected to its local community

• Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme

• A comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme supporting your wellbeing
