In recent years the Highways and Traffic Management Directorate have delivered the highly successful and award winning Enjoy Waltham Forest Programme, aimed at radically changing our neighbourhoods by placing active and sustainable travel at the heart of everything we do.
This new and exciting role will support the delivery of sustainable transport projects as part of the Enjoy Waltham Forest Programme, including our significant and varied cycle parking portfolio and School Streets programme. We are looking for someone with a relevant undergraduate or Masters degree, or equivalent practical experience, with excellent customer service and communication skills, who is organised and self-motivated, has good analytical and problem-solving skills, and has a keen interest in sustainability and/or transport solutions.
Equal Opportunities
Waltham Forest is a diverse borough where diversity is valued and is integral to both, service delivery and employment of its staff. The Council is proud of its rich mix of communities and as the largest employer in the area, it works hard to respond to the changing needs of its population. We use our statutory duties on race, gender and disability equality and best practice in respect of age, faith and sexual orientation to ensure equality of opportunity in the workplace. The Council is committed to meeting its 4 equality objectives: - Promoting equality of opportunity - Opposing all forms of discrimination, intolerance and disadvantage - Ensuring our workforce reflects the diverse communities of Waltham Forest at all levels. - Providing fair, appropriate, accessible and excellent Services to all. Respecting Diversity is a core Council value. To support the above and reduce the risk of bias in its recruitment activities, the council is operating an anonymous shortlisting process, which hides personal information that can identify individuals until their application has been considered for shortlisting. The council also operates a scheme whereby, for jobs graded up to and including scale SO2, internal candidates are considered first. This includes those candidates who self-identify as having a disability for the purposes of the Disability Confident scheme. For more information, please refer to our recruitment and selection policy
