Barking Riverside - Community Engagement Lead - salary subject to experience

We think big - we are delivering Europe's biggest brownfield regeneration project in single ownership, housing 29,000 people along 2km of the banks of the River Thames

We think differently - yes, we enable vitally needed houses to be built, but we are committing ourselves to so much more than this. We want this development to be impactful, design-led and something that provokes transformational change that we can all celebrate.

We act differently - our team is a group of passionate, intelligent developers focused on curating a place that remains authentic to the gritty, industrial heritage of the site, as well as the aspirations of the passionate pre-existing community that already give Barking Riverside so much soul.

We are Barking Riverside - and we are looking for a like mind individual to lead our regeneration, community engagement and stakeholder communications programme at our East London site.

The role will involve managing and promoting key stakeholder relationships across the whole project and, critically, needs to successfully deliver both social value and a commercial rigour that makes it sustainable. Deliver community investment and engagement activities in the neighbouring regions working closely with key delivery partners and the local community. To lead on the delivery of apprenticeships and training opportunities in accordance with section 106 and other planning obligations.

As the development is still in the very early stages, the role will involve a wide range of projects and tasks and requires a creative energy, a commercial understanding, good communication skills and the ability to deliver programmes and activities on the ground.

You will need to be enthusiastic about urban regeneration, with a keen understanding of both commercial and community objectives and the wider public perceptions. You must have excellent communications skills, written and verbal, a good understanding of social demographics, the political climate in the area, the ability to work independently, and an interest in engaging directly with diverse stakeholders. The job will require a great degree of flexibility, working at times in a challenging environment and under pressure.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch to learn more.
