Living Streets wants to create a walking nation, where everybody benefits from the health and social benefits this simple act brings. Walking is also a vital ingredient of successful communities. Walkable towns and cities are often more vibrant socially and economically. Living Streets manages innovative national projects, working with schools, communities and workplaces to encourage more people to walk short journeys. And with our supporters we campaign for positive change and public policies that enliven our streets.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our Policy and Communications team.
You will be responsible for researching, developing and advocating Living Streets’ policies. You will work directly with government departments, local authorities and academics – as well as with Living Streets staff and supporters.
The role covers a wide area of public policy, including road safety, air quality, planning and urban design, health and the economic benefits of walking. Previous experience of successful policy development, lobbying and/or research work is essential.
