Community Ambassador job summary

Community Ambassador – Nightingale Primary School

FTC | Part-time | 15 hours per week | Term-time only

Are you passionate about bringing people together, building connections, and making a real difference in the lives of children and families? Do you love working with people and want to be part of a school that truly values its community?

Nightingale Primary School is looking for a Community Ambassador to join our team!

This is a unique opportunity to be at the heart of our school’s community work — helping to build strong, meaningful partnerships between families, local organisations, and the school. You’ll also join a network of Community Ambassadors across the Maritime Academy Trust, sharing ideas and initiatives to help every child thrive.

What’s the role all about?

As a Community Ambassador, you'll:

• Build relationships with local businesses, charities, and services

• Help us unlock new opportunities for families through partnerships and community-led initiatives

• Support and organise school events like coffee mornings, parent workshops, and community socials

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

• Signpost families to local support services and resources

• Work closely with the pastoral team and wider Trust community to make a real impact

Whether it’s helping to run a workshop for parents, setting up a community initiative or simply being a friendly face to families and the local community — this is a role where your ideas, compassion, and creativity will go a long way.

What kind of person are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Empathetic, caring, and a great listener

• Confident with people from all walks of life

• Organised, proactive, and able to manage their own time

• Resilient and able to adapt to changing situations

• Driven to make a positive impact in the school and wider community

What kind of experience might you have?

Community experience comes in many forms. You might have:

• Helped with a PTA or school fundraising event

• Supported a local sports team or youth group (coaching, admin, etc.)

• Been part of a local committee or community board

• Volunteered as a parent helper on school trips or supported reading in class

• Given your time to a local charity or worked in a charity shop

• Helped organise or run community events or fundraisers

If you’ve played a role in bringing people together or supporting your local area, that’s the kind of experience we’d love to hear about.

You’ll be working independently, but never alone — you’ll have the support of our brilliant team at Nightingale, who are dedicated to supporting children and families with wellbeing, behaviour, and emotional needs. You’ll also be part of a friendly network of Community Ambassadors across the Trust, so you’ll always have people to share ideas with and turn to for advice.

This is a term-time only, part-time role (15 hours per week), with flexible working hours. Your time might be split between working on-site, out in the community, or occasionally from home.
