About Us:
THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF GRACE'S PASSION AND DEDICATION
The Environment and Communities Directorate in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories. Where dedicated people like Grace are using their skills and passion to progress environmental action in the heart of London.
It was at university where Grace first started campaigning for improved recycling facilities, water refill stations, and other eco:friendly initiatives. When she saw the real difference people could make when they came together, she knew she wanted to dedicate her career to community action for the planet.
When she joined us as Principal Engagement Officer, Climate Emergency, she quickly established herself as a passionate advocate for community outreach, engaging various stakeholders across Westminster in the social causes, impacts and solutions to climate change, air pollution, and biodiversity loss.
Grace became a driving force behind our first Citizens' Climate Assembly, which took place across two weekends in the summer of 2023. Fifty residents were chosen at random from across our diverse communities to come together, learn about the climate emergency, and deliberate how we overcome the barriers to becoming a net zero city by 2040. The assembly produced several recommendations which have informed the evolution of our Climate Emergency Action Plan. Due to the success of this initiative, we're holding more assemblies to continue community involvement in local decision:making.

The Role:
As Nature Projects Officer, you too can make a powerful contribution. Westminster has declared an Ecological Emergency, and this role sits at the heart of our efforts to enhance biodiversity, expand green infrastructure, and build a more climate:resilient city. To help us achieve this, you'll deliver on our Ecological Emergency Programme and Greening and Biodiversity Action Plan. It's an opportunity to combine project delivery with community empowerment to create a greener, healthier Westminster.
You'll work closely with residents, community groups, local partners and council teams to plan, coordinate and drive nature projects forward. A key part of your role will be engaging and inspiring communities to connect with nature, while also supporting community groups to act and expand their impact. You'll help ensure projects are well:coordinated and delivered successfully, with every initiative making a visible difference for people and nature across Westminster. As our understanding of how best to respond to the ecological and climate emergencies continues to grow, you'll have opportunities to contribute new ideas and approaches, helping to shape the way we deliver future greening and biodiversity work.
The Climate Resilience, Parks and Green Spaces team forms part of the Environment Department, working closely with other services focused on engagement, environment delivery, protecting biodiversity, waste and cleansing. Together, we deliver Westminster's ambitions for a Fairer Environment, with shared goals to enhance resilience, protect biodiversity, and support the wellbeing of our communities. The work is collaborative, fast:paced and highly rewarding.
Join us, motivate the community, and drive the realisation of a greener future.
