You will be responsible for a major project to carry out an audit of certain households to determine their waste arrangements, as well as for communicating with residents to solve issues and inform them of any changes to their recycling and waste services. You will deliver face-to-face community engagement activities to achieve project goals. This could include identifying target groups and developing appropriate strategies to deliver key messages, delivering community events, and door-knocking target areas.

You will be passionate about improving recycling and reducing waste, and keen to apply behaviour change theories to deliver impactful campaigns. You will also support operational teams to determine the best waste collection service for residents and carry out projects as appropriate.
