Description

Funded through Islington's Thriving Neighbourhoods Programme, this small team of up to three people will focus on improving recycling rates and services on Islington's estates to achieve the commitments that we're setting out in our new Reduction and Recycling Plan, and in support of our Net Zero Carbon ambition and corporate objectives.

Using excellent communications skills, and your knowledge and experience of behaviour change techniques, you
- ll engage with communities to identify barriers to recycling on each estate, you'll plan and deliver real improvements to recycling sites and services, and you'll closely monitor the impact, both in terms of recycling rates and resident satisfaction.

If you're enthusiastic about delivering great customer service and have a good understanding of environmental and waste management issues, get in touch.

We're a small and highly motivated team, dedicated to finding ways to reduce waste and recycle more in Islington whilst delivering improved value for money and better services for Islington residents.

Closing Date:

You will be:

- identifying and implementing recycling site improvements and service changes on an estate by estate basis;
- designing and delivering behaviour change and communication campaigns on an estate by estate basis to compliment service improvements;
- and designing and delivering monitoring and evaluation actions to measure the impact on the recycling rate of what we are doing.

Key to this will be:

- good project management skills;
- good communication skills;
- an understanding of behaviour change theory;
- an understanding of what makes a good recycling service;
- and an understanding of what enables, and prevents residents from recycling.

We will underpin what we do with evidence and data, ensuring we can measure the impact of what we're doing and focus on what works.
