We're recruiting for an Engagement Lead, to work in our Capacity Building & Standards team.
This Engagement Lead role will sit within our Capacity Building and Standards (CB&S) function. The CB&S function aims to build capacity both inside and outside of public institutions to embed the processes, skills, structures and cultures needed for effective public participation in decision-making. This includes work in the private- and third- sectors.
As Engagement Lead you will play a central role in our team, with particular responsibility for developing, managing and, in part, delivering Involve’s training offer. This includes our proactive training offer; in other words, sessions and courses that we schedule and advertise. It also includes our reactive training work, where we respond to incoming requests to run training for specific organisations. You will build on the training Involve has already run and our in-house expertise, but go well beyond what Involve currently offers.
Salary band: £44,353 - £50,247
Location: Flexible, must be comfortable with regular travel both for project work and Involve team activities. Must be able to travel across the UK.
Hours: Full time, 35 hours a week with flexible or part time considered
