About the Role:
The Strategic Engagement Manager will work within the Voluntary Norfolk Communities Team which provides support to the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE) across Norfolk. The team works across several sector support projects and programmes, namely the Empowering Communities (EC) programme, and the Momentum support service to the children and young people’s sector.
