We are looking for three Catalysts who will lead the Suffolk Community Enterprise Project which will support local entrepreneurial people and community organisations to offer new and creative care and support options for people who need help at home and in the community.

To do this job you must:

• Understand the world of care – but maybe feel it could do with a bit of a shake up!
• Be a real people person – able to work well with all sorts of folks with confidence.
• Instinctively make connections – and join up dots that are sometimes less than obvious.
• Be able to spot what people are good at and nurture it.
