**Application closing date**:Sun, 26/11/2023 - 23:59**About the role**:
Would you like to transform London’s urban forest and help increase tree cover across the city, for people and nature? We’re looking for a person familiar with the tree and woodland sector, and with excellent project and stakeholder management skills to join the GLA’s Green Infrastructure team, as the London Urban Forest Coordinator.

This is a unique opportunity to help achieve the Mayor’s ambition to make London a leader in green infrastructure and urban rewilding, and to ensure more Londoners benefit from having green space near where they live. Reporting to a Principal Policy and Programme Officer, you’ll lead on the London Urban Forest Plan and Partnership.

Our team is multidisciplinary, reflecting the breadth of our remit which includes parks, urban greening, trees, biodiversity, and rewilding. To succeed in this role, you will bring a good knowledge of environment policy and a proven track record of working effectively with stakeholders. You’ll need to be able to demonstrate your ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences, preferably with some experience of doing this in a political environment, as well as strong project management skills. You’ll need to be flexible, adaptable, and have a collaborative approach, as this role requires working on initiatives simultaneously.

The role will be responsible for managing the delivery, monitoring, and updating of the London Urban Forest Plan (published in November 2020), working closely with key stakeholders in the London Urban Forest Partnership, including the Forestry Commission. You will also provide management and co-ordination of the partnership’s externally funded £0.5m Trees Call to Action Fund (TCAF) project. The Trees Call to Action Fund was developed by Defra in partnership with the Forestry Commission and is being delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Your role will include organising regular project meetings with delivery partners, reporting to funders on project progress and outcomes, and evaluating the programme.

**Principal accountabilities**:

- Coordinate the work of the GLA, GLA Group and organisations in the London Urban Forest Partnership to support the delivery of the London Urban Forest Plan goals and actions.
- Establish and maintain good working relationships within and outside the Authority to ensure that opportunities for collaboration are realised.
- Preside over agreed GLA actions in the London Urban Forest Plan including maintaining a hub of information, and dissemination of good practice guidance on urban forest policy and practice.
- Manage the Trees Call to Action Fund (TCAF) project and budget on behalf of the GLA as the accountable body for the grant, including the administration of grant payments to project delivery partner organisations, ensuring the project is delivered on time and budget, and managing the close out, including evaluation of its impact and reporting to the funder.
- Direct the development and implementation of effective administrative systems, project governance and cross partner working for the TCAF project.
- Work with colleagues in the GLA and partners to update the actions in the London Urban Forest Plan.
- Work with colleagues in the Green Infrastructure team and TCAF project delivery partners to plan for the continuation of elements of the TCAF project beyond March 2025, including levering in external funding.
- Organise quarterly meetings of the TCAF project steering group and bi-annual meetings of the wider London Urban Forest Partnership network.
- Gather and assist to analyse effectively relevant data and evidence to ensure that strategy, policy, projects, and programmes are developed with a solid evidence base and are capable of evaluation.
- Assist in the establishment and maintenance of communications on technical and policy matters with Government departments, the London Boroughs, and other organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors.
- Carry out all roles allocated to the job in accordance with the Authority’s policies and Code of Ethics and Standards
- Realise the benefits of London’s diversity by promoting and enabling equality of opportunities and promoting the diverse needs and aspirations of London’s communities
- Realise the benefits of a flexible approach to work in undertaking the duties and responsibilities of this job, and participating in multi-disciplinary, cross-department and cross-organisational groups and project teams
