About the Role
Help shape the future of West London’s green spaces! Ealing Council is working with partners to create a new regional park—an ambitious proposal that will establish a thriving natural, cultural, and recreational hub for West London. We are seeking a passionate and dynamic Engagement Officer to lead inclusive and innovative community engagement for the West London Regional Park project. This is a unique opportunity to ensure local voices, especially young people and underrepresented groups, play a central role in shaping a landmark initiative for Ealing.

You will be the driving force behind community involvement, ensuring ideas from residents and partners influence the park’s business plan, design, and identity. From co-design workshops to digital engagement campaigns, you will create opportunities for people to connect, contribute, and feel proud of this transformative project.

Key responsibilities include delivering wide-reaching, inclusive engagement activities across Ealing; building strong relationships with local groups, schools, and partners; facilitating co-design processes for the park’s trail, hubs, and branding; developing creative digital engagement strategies and producing regular newsletters; and promoting volunteering and community-led initiatives that support sustainability and biodiversity.

This is a full-time, 2.5-year fixed term contract or secondment opportunity for LBE staff. Existing Ealing Council employees interested in secondment must ensure a secondment release form is signed by their line manager before applying.

Join us at an exciting time to make a positive difference to our residents and borough by helping create a park that reflects local aspirations, celebrates diversity, and promotes wellbeing for generations to come.
