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 enjoy the benefits the simple act of walking brings.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated person to join our Policy and Communications team as Local Engagement Assistant. You will assist the development of campaigning activity and our local volunteer groups, with a focus on working with marginalised groups across the UK to achieve change. 

It’s an exciting time for Living Streets, as we are growing our local group campaign network and listening to the voices of communities calling for change. The Assistant will ensure that local groups have the right materials and support to campaign in their area for better streets. They will also help monitor the impact of our local campaigns work.

We welcome people with lived experience of feeling marginalised as well as those who recognise it is everyone’s responsibility to be involved in this work. 

This is an exciting role, in a dynamic, motivated and friendly team, and you will have an opportunity to make a real difference in an ambitious campaigning organisation.
