London, Greater London, United Kingdom Richmond and Wandsworth Council Full time
About the Role

The Community Engagement and Development Project Officer will play a key role in developing and maintaining relationships with local communities, stakeholders, and partners to achieve positive outcomes in Wandsworth. This role will be part of a community-focused team that listens to and works with communities to create better spaces and places for local people.

The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that an adequate level of communication between the Council and residents is developed and maintained, and the engagement of residents in participating in decision making for their area is stimulated and developed. This work will involve close links with senior officers in other Council departments, statutory agencies, and the voluntary and community sector.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build meaningful relationships and trust with our communities, requiring someone who is empathetic, can initiate dialogue with communities, whilst also being outcomes focused and results driven.
  • Inspire and mobilise communities to make a difference, working with charities, public sector partners, and a wide range of council services to engage with seldom heard communities.
  • Co-ordinate regular public-facing community-based events involving local Councillors, Council and partner services, to deepen our understanding of local issues and seek people's ideas on improving their neighbourhood.
  • Bring a good working knowledge of how to engage different communities, develop effective relationships, and manage multiple stakeholders within the community.
  • Support the co-design of projects that could be suitable for NCIL funding, collaborating with the Community Funding Manager who will manage the NCIL proposal evaluation and allocation.
  • Be an active member of Wandsworth's many communities, delivering the Council's community engagement approach.
  • Work evenings and weekends as required, for which you will be given time off in lieu. This position will mostly entail working within the community.

Essential Qualifications, Skills and Experience:

  • At least two years working in community engagement or similar.
  • Experience of working with underrepresented groups.
  • Experience of producing community engagement plans.
  • Knowledge of community organising and mobilising communities.
  • Knowledge of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD).

We Value Diversity:

We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone is able to be themselves, give of their best and reach their full potential. We believe that a diverse workforce helps us to better understand our communities and deliver the best services for our residents.

We want to receive applications from all regardless of age, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, religion or belief, race or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background. We want to harness the mix and ensure that everybody can apply and be part of our recruitment processes. We will therefore make reasonable adjustments to accommodate our candidates.

Benefits:

We offer a wide range of benefits designed to attract, develop, and reward our employees such as 40 days annual leave (including Bank Holidays), flexible working, and a generous pension plan.
