97 Area manager west or north jobs

We are Living Streets, the UK charity for everyday walking.

We want to create a nation where walking is the natural choice for everyday, local journeys; free from congested roads and pollution, reducing the risk of preventable illnesses and social isolation. We want to achieve a better walking environment and to inspire people of all generations to walk and wheel more.

We’re looking for an Engagement Coordinator to deliver our engagement project with women, girls and minority genders in the City of York and Scarborough. You’ll co-ordinate engagement events and activities that allow women to have a say in changes to their streets and public places, providing resulting recommendations to local decision makers. You will coordinate the development of Local Groups, led by women, in the region.

This is a hands-on, people-focused role where you’ll play a key part in building a vibrant, active, long-lasting movement for change in the region. You’ll support and connect grassroots campaigners, helping to bring women into the conversation about the future of their area.

In this role, you will:

· Use creative processes, such as community street reviews, collective storytelling, map marking, and discussion workshops, to engage people in decision making.

· Develop recommendations for improvements to make the walking environment safer for women, girls and minority genders

· Produce project plans and coordinate activity according to funder requirements.

· Work with community groups in York and Scarborough to establish long-term Local Living Streets Groups in the area.

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic, organised, and passionate about community engagement. You’ll be a confident communicator, enjoy working with people, and be motivated by creating real-world change at a local level.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your engagement career and help build a movement for safer streets, we’d love to hear from you.

Living Streets is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk; and expects all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be subject to background and criminal records checks as relevant to the job role. You will be expected to travel to communities in York and Scarborough as part of this role.

Living Streets is committed to being an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.
