We are recruiting for our new project
THE HACKNEY BUZZLINE
Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. The Hackney Buzzline is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we will create a four km pollinator corridor connecting four parks in Hackney through three social housing estates. The parks are local sites of importance for nature conservation. We will build the corridor by sowing wildflower meadows, planting flower beds and creating ‘stepping-stone’ habitats and monitoring their impact on pollinator diversity.
We are recruiting to fill two new roles -
The Project Manager & Community Ecologist, and The Postcode Gardener
Project Manager & Community Ecologist
The Project Manager & Community Ecologist will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the project, and will also oversee monitoring and impact measurement, in terms of differences made to local people and pollinators. In the summer months this will involve carrying out a number of ecological surveys. In the winter, the role will focus on evaluating the project, assisting with reporting, and recruiting volunteers and community groups ready for the following year.
Postcode Gardener
The Postcode Gardener will deliver a community planting programme, which will allow us to build the Hackney Buzzline over three years in support of Hackney’s Local Nature Recovery Plan. We will create our flower-rich pollinator corridor beside walking and cycling paths to help boost the physical health and mental wellbeing of Hackney residents.
To apply for these positions, please send your completed application form to [email protected]
Please also complete and return the equal opportunities monitoring form. This will be detached from your application and won’t form part of the decision making process.
Deadline for applications Monday 22 April, 9 am
