Responsible to: EMPOWER Rivers Programme Manager
THAMES21
Thames21 is a leading environmental charity, working across London and the Thames Basin to deliver high-impact nature-based solutions to the climate and biodiversity crisis through restoring rivers, whilst also connecting communities to their local green-blue spaces and inspiring long-term stewardship of them.
THE ROLE
We are seeking a skilled River Skills Officer to join the EMPOWER Rivers team working on our projects in London and the Thames Basin. This role offers an opportunity for the post holder to lead on the delivery and development of Thames21’s environmental training programme, which aims to empower communities to take independent action for rivers.
The key skill for this role is the ability to create and deliver inclusive, engaging and inspiring courses that help people understand what makes a healthy river; explore the crucial role that rivers play in our lives; and demonstrate how everyone can be involved in protecting, maintaining and improving London’s blue-green spaces.
The key value for this role is a passion for rivers and learning, coupled with the ability to share that enthusiasm with diverse groups of people, helping them to build their knowledge and skills to enhance London’s blue-green spaces.
You’ll thrive in this role if you enjoy breaking down complex ideas and processes, making them accessible to a wide range of audiences. You will be comfortable working with people in a variety of settings, mixing theory with practice.
A typical day is likely to involve delivering one of Thames21’s flagship courses, gathering ideas for new training or making tweaks to existing modules; contacting community-led River Action Groups about upcoming activities, or keeping on track with various admin tasks. You might be working from home, at one of our offices in Bow or Guildhall, or at a river taking learners through the practical elements of our work. You could be checking over risk assessments, promoting training opportunities or advising a local community river action group about organising their first session.
You might be creating event listings or updating the web page. You may be working on strategic long-term plans or monitoring project outputs and incorporating learnings into project development. You’ll be thinking both big and small on any given day.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Deliver courses on a range of topics, both indoors, online, and at different blue space locations, ensuring training sessions meet the appropriate standards and learner outcomes.
2. Design training courses, review and contribute to the development of the training programme, and collaborate with other Thames21 staff to create and enhance training initiatives.
3. Ensure that training courses and community-led River Action Groups comply with relevant legislation and Thames21’s policies and procedures
4. Day-to-day management of the training programme, including recruitment, promotion, logistics, learner support, and accreditation process.
5. Provide ongoing advice and support for programme participants following training, encouraging them to set up, organise and deliver volunteering activity in their local community. Including support with monitoring impact, operational plans and receiving and approving Risk Assessments and Method Statements for River Action Group activities to ensure they are covered by Thames21 public liability insurance.
6. Develop and support the Thames21 network of community-led River Action Groups, including linking groups to other community partners, e.g. existing groups, catchment partnerships and other organisations and institutions operating along the catchment
7. Work with EMPOWER Rivers programme manager to coordinate annual River Action Group forum
