Sustainable Transport Campaigner, London
London Living Streets
We are looking for someone with great organisational, research and communications skills to support high profile campaigns in London which are making a real difference to the lives of Londoners.
Are you passionate about safe, healthy streets and improving the urban environment? Do you want to learn skills, gain knowledge and confidence, work with some of London's most experienced campaigners AND make a real difference?
We work to improve London's streets by advocating for delivery of key infrastructure including pedestrianisation schemes, safe junctions, safe speed limits, and clear pavements, and we work in coalition with others to advocate for bus and cycle lanes. We do this by publishing data and reports, meeting with politicians, delivering communications via newsletters and social media, and supporting local residents.
- Volunteering: typically we would hope a volunteer would be able to commit to a minimum of 8 hours per week for a minimum of 6 months but ideally staying with the organisation for a period of a year or more
- Interns: we may be able to accommodate internships of various lengths depending on the individual and availability. This would typically be time-limited but committing to a few more hours per week e.g. 12 hours per week for 4, 6 or 12 months.
Staff and office: London Living Streets group is made up entirely of volunteers though some of the members of the group run (sustainable transport) projects which are funded. We work remotely, from home, but meet regularly.
