• Deliver wide-reaching, inclusive engagement activities across Ealing.
• Build strong relationships with local groups, schools, and partners.
• Facilitate co-design processes for the park’s trail, hubs, and branding.
• Develop creative digital engagement strategies and produce regular newsletters.
• Promote volunteering and community-led initiatives that support sustainability and biodiversity.

About You

• Experienced in community engagement and co-design, with a track record of working with diverse communities.
• Skilled communicator with the ability to build trust and inspire participation.
• Confident using digital tools and social media to engage audiences.
• Committed to equality, diversity, inclusion, and environmental sustainability.
