City of York Council Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. The City of York Council are seeking a Environment and Community Officer to support the work of our Communities Team.
The Communities Team operates at the heart of the Housing and Communities Directorate, supporting ward arrangements and working with elected members, community organisations and citizens to build capacity and support local volunteering.
We are looking for someone who is self motivated with excellent organisational and skills and enjoys the challenge of a role where every day is different. This role offers the opportunity for those with a passion for the environment and supporting impact volunteering to make a real contribution to York’s green spaces. As well as planning activities you will be working alongside community volunteers during community action days and activities, delivering tools and equipment to support volunteer action. This does require a full driving license.
Please note this role is physically demanding. Post holders will at times have to work outdoors, possibly in poor weather conditions. This will involve walking/cycling on a regular basis, taking part in community events such as litter picking, planting and conservation work, and graffiti removal.
Lifting and carrying material is also needed for key tasks to a level that requires manual handing training.
You will be working in a lively front facing role and you will therefore need to have good interpersonal skills.
This is a part-time hybrid role which will involve remote home working using MS teams, office-based working, working in community settings and outdoors.
Hybrid working arrangements are available for this role. Each role at CYC is different and your working arrangements will be determined based on the requirements of the role and in collaboration with you and your needs as part of the recruitment process. Your contractual location will be the designated council office for your team.
The Council is committed to investing in the talent and wellbeing of our staff and can offer a generous annual leave allowance, access to the Local Government Pension Scheme, comprehensive Health & Wellbeing initiatives and a reward package which recognises your contribution. We can offer flexible working practices, community engagement and volunteer activities and, as part of our commitment to you, promote continuous Learning & Development. In addition, we also offer a growing range of discounts, rewards and savings.
As this role is public facing, applicants will need to demonstrate, at interview, their competency to converse and provide advice and guidance to members of the public, in spoken English to CEFR level C1: Can express themselves fluently and spontaneously, almost effortlessly. Only a conceptually difficult subject can hinder a natural, smooth flow of language.
For further information or an informal discussion please contact Mora Scaife (Communities Team Manager) mora.scaife@york.gov.uk or on 01904 551834.
