About the role
Our client, an environmental charity is looking for two experienced Community Engagement Officers to support a three-year multi-partner project supported through Nature Towns and Cities, a programme funded by National Lottery players to help urban areas protect and enhance their natural heritage.
The project will co-create a community-led urban nature recovery action plan, placing nature and people at the heart of Norwich's future. It will map and address the city's 'nature gaps', improve access to green and blue spaces, and empower communities to shape a more resilient, biodiverse and inclusive city.
The role will see the successful applicants carrying out an extensive listening and engagement programme across Norwich to support an ambitious community-led nature recovery action plan for the city. You'll work closely with partners including Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council, South Norfolk and Broadland District Council and other key stakeholders to create a lasting legacy for nature in the city.
This is an exciting opportunity for you to use your community organising skills to support communities to take-action for nature's recovery on the ground. The organisation is looking for people who are passionate about wildlife and supporting people from all backgrounds to connect to nature.
This role offers the chance to make a genuine impact on people's lives and the environment, working in a supportive, forward-thinking charity committed to restoring nature. You'll play a central role in a flagship project for Norwich, helping making it a City where people and nature thrive.
Closing date for applications is midnight on Sunday 21 September 2025.
Interviews are likely to take place in person in Norwich on Thursday 2 October 2025.
