This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new £475,000 programme funded by The National Lottery Community Fund that puts communities at the heart of nature recovery and environmental action across Kent and Medway.

We are looking for a passionate and people-focused Community Organising Officer to help communities create lasting positive change for nature, climate and local wellbeing.

What you'll be doing: 

This exciting role sits within our Wilder Streets, Wilder Lives programme, which works alongside communities facing barriers to accessing nature and environmental opportunities. Using a community organising approach, you will help local people identify priorities, build connections, develop leadership skills and take action to improve their neighbourhoods for both people and wildlife.

Working closely with residents, community groups, local authorities and project partners, you will support the co-design and delivery of a wide range of initiatives, including community greening projects, volunteering opportunities, sustainable living workshops, environmental training, BioBlitzes and community events.

At the heart of this role is relationship building. You will spend time listening to communities, understanding local needs and strengths, and helping people turn ideas into meaningful action.

Events, Training and Volunteering – Supporting and delivering workshops, volunteering activities, environmental training sessions and community events that bring people together and build long-term capacity for change.
Monitoring and Learning – Gathering insights, maintaining records and contributing to project evaluation, reporting and shared learning across the programme.

What we need you to bring:  

You are an enthusiastic, approachable and highly organised individual who is passionate about empowering people and supporting communities to create positive change.

You understand that lasting environmental change happens when local people are at the centre of decision-making, and you are motivated by helping communities develop the confidence, skills and connections needed to make a difference.

You will thrive in this role if you:

Enjoy building relationships and are skilled at connecting with people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Are a confident listener and communicator who can build trust, facilitate conversations and bring people together around shared goals.
Have experience in community engagement, community organising, development work or similar people-centred roles.
Are passionate about social justice, environmental action and creating opportunities for everyone to engage with and benefit from nature.
Have experience working alongside diverse communities, particularly those facing barriers to participation or who have traditionally been underrepresented in the environmental sector.
Can support people to develop ideas, solve problems and turn ambitions into practical action.
Are comfortable working collaboratively with partners, community groups, volunteers and stakeholders.
Have strong organisational skills, can manage competing priorities and maintain accurate records.
Are adaptable, resilient and able to work flexibly in response to community needs.
Are committed to Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging and actively champion these values in your work.

We recognise that local knowledge, lived experience and trusted relationships are invaluable, and we welcome applications from people who already have strong connections to the communities involved in the project.
