Listening Leader (Volunteer)

St Neots 360 Listening Campaign

Location: St Neots
Commitment: Flexible shifts throughout May – October 2026
Type: Volunteer (expenses covered)

About the Project

The St Neots 360 Listening Campaign is a town-wide social action project engaging over 100 volunteers to speak with residents across every neighbourhood in St Neots.

Through three simple questions, the campaign will capture what people love about the town, what could be better and what they want for the future.

This insight will feed directly into a live “Town as a Lab” experience at the St Neots Future Forum, helping to shape a shared view of the town’s future.

The Role

Listening Leaders play a key role in the delivery of the campaign.

You will lead small teams of volunteers during walkabouts across the town, helping to ensure the experience is well organised, positive and effective.

You will act as the link between the campaign team at the Citizen Hub and volunteers on the ground.

• Support and guide volunteers while engaging with residents
• Ensure responses are captured accurately using the digital form

• Help maintain a positive, respectful and energetic team environment

What We Are Looking For

• Strong communication and people skills
• Reliable and organised approach
• Confidence supporting and guiding others
• Comfortable engaging with the public
• Interest in community, place and local impact

Previous leadership experience is not required.

What You’ll Gain
