Job Description

Purpose of the job

We are seeking a skilled engagement officer to work on our projects in London and the Thames Basin. This role offers an opportunity for the post holder to make a difference to diverse areas of London, with differing challenges and an array of ambitions.

The key skill for this role is being able to connect with and bring people together. The project relies on creating strong networks of local institutions, such as schools and local authorities; grassroots organisations and groups; community leaders and representatives from the public and private sectors, including councillors and politicians.

The key value for this role is curiosity. Being able to ask questions, listen and encourage people to get involved in whatever way they are able, will help you succeed.

You’ll thrive in this role if you are able to see the strengths and assets of communities and individuals and find space for them to flourish. By working together with local people in diverse communities beside waterways you will establish a new and positive ongoing relationship between Londoners and their blue spaces.

A typical day is likely to involve keeping on track with what’s happening across each area, meeting with key partners, being alert to upcoming network meetings, or delivering community events or activities.

2. Compile area profiles, identifying key stakeholders from public, private and third sectors. Work with stakeholders, including schools, to ensure understanding of the programme and the opportunities available.

3. Work with local community organisations and representatives to open dialogue with residents about local perceptions, connections and interest in the river and co-produce an engagement programme that will lead to a better understanding of the environmental issues that affect blue spaces; improve community wellbeing and explore cultural connections to rivers.

4. Carry out robust monitoring processes, including gathering feedback from partners and participants and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of projects. Collaborate with colleagues to inform a relevant programme of activities that will engage a wider diversity of Londoners with the Thames.

5. Work with Thames21’s Comms Team to promote projects, celebrating achievements and learnings; and collate and contribute content for the webpage.

7. Contribute to internal quarterly reports and annual reports to funders.

8. Represent Thames21 at community events, activities and partnership meetings.

9. Maintain clear records of progress, ensure all administration and statistical information is kept, and regularly upload information onto the Thames21 database.
