Our customers and local communities are at the heart of everything we do within Bristol Water. We aim to have a positive environmental and social impact on our communities through the way we deliver our essential services. We have a framework for our community work, called the social contract, which sets out how we work in collaboration with local stakeholders and how we measure and report on our progress.

The Community Engagement and Education Lead will work closely with the Community Engagement Team to highlight the great work we are doing in our supply region, as part of our social contract.

**What will you be doing**:
This role will engage with our customers and the wider community to help us deliver on some of our core company targets, including encouraging our customers to use water wisely and to get a water meter. Building relationships within the company and working in partnership externally will be important and rewarding elements of the role.

As the role focuses on face-to-face engagement with our communities, a great deal of time will be spent out and about in the communities that we serve.

- To enhance the online content made available to primary schools
- To manage our Together for Good fund, which is available for community groups to apply. This involves identifying monthly winners, arranging for the fund to be issued, and visiting the winning community groups, to demonstrate a real interest in the community project. This involves liaison with the communications team to create social media posts that promote those awarded to internal colleagues as well as externally, to customers.
- Act as a link to other social contract projects to help maximise the opportunity for education
- Support the development and coordination of a volunteering approach for Bristol Water, utilising employee volunteering days to help deliver our community projects. Work with the volunteering team at South West Water for support on strategy and approach
- Create, manage and maximise community sponsorship opportunities and relationships for Bristol Water, putting in place a framework for considering sponsorship requests in a fair and transparent way
- Represent the company externally, working collaboratively with key stakeholders to deliver community benefits, for example liaising with schools, event organisers, local councils and local charities
- Work closely with the wider communications team to develop plans and content to support our social contract programme and key messaging
- As a member of our social contract working group, provide regular updates on progress and information to feed into our external reports and the calculation of the social and environmental benefits achieved

**What we’re looking for...**
- Experience of working with internal and external stakeholders to deliver challenging community projects
- Excellent time management - ability to manage and deliver several projects in parallel
- Self-starter - ability to develop new ideas and projects from scratch, collaborating with colleagues across the business
- Strategic thinker - ability to prioritise opportunities and workload with available time and resources
- Experience in developing different resources and/or promotional materials for stakeholder groups (online or print)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills including public speaking and presentations
- Experience of delivering training to groups of people
