A huge part of the success of any #SolvingTogether programme is the work of the community managers.

What are community managers? Well they’re the people who create energy, building the momentum with diverse groups who are taking part in the ideas stage of Solving Together.

We’ve all been there when you’ve come up with a great idea and then... tumbleweeds! It’s not a great feeling! What a community managers does is make those connections for the idea generator to find like minded people who can help bring the idea to life, they might  link you to a similar project, or even add to the idea themselves.

It’s all about creating an open conversation where creativity and connections can thrive! They do this by using open language, questions to make you think and giving helpful tips and information there and then.  They also bring new people into the project, sharing it with their own networks and encouraging others to do the same.

As the old saying goes - team work makes the dreamwork! One idea can ignite the fuse that sparks off others to share their thoughts, collaborate and give people courage to make their own contributions that can lead to big changes in Health and Care.

Community Management is a crucial piece of the Solving Together puzzle and the best part is - it’s fun! This role allows you to identify new opportunities, connect with people you may never have met before and stimulate exciting discussions that could lead to a big idea that could impact positive change for people who receive care throughout the country.
