Hackney is London's most diverse, dynamic borough. Reaching from the Square Mile to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this is an area of rapid economic growth, particularly in technology, media, fashion and other creative industries. Hackney has more green spaces than any other inner London borough; some of the capital's finest schools; first class transport connections; excellent public services; and thriving arts, cultural and retail sectors. We seek people with ambition, creativity and commitment to ensure our economic growth provides benefits for everyone and creates opportunities to transform the lives of residents.

We are looking for a highly motivated, forward thinking individual who can lead a team of experienced and enthusiastic people onto the next level. Working as part of a small team, the position will require you to be flexible in your approach to your work which will assist with the development, implementation and monitoring of a wide range of initiatives linked to casualty reduction. The position offers the chance for you to become involved in a wide range of initiatives engaging with all road users, businesses, schools, other organisations and communities across the borough. You therefore need to be highly motivated, articulate, persuasive, IT literate and a good understanding of the strategic road safety issues across London.

You will oversee the further development of the road safety education and publicity programmes. We have one of the largest LIP settlements for cycle training in London. You will oversee the contract and implementation of this training. The team also has responsibility for the School Crossing Patrol service, consisting of 36 Patrols.

The person we are looking for will have experience of working in a local authority road safety environment and be committed to improving road safety in the borough. You will be tactful, persuasive and have excellent communication (both orally and in writing). You will also have experience in managing staff, budgets, publicity campaigns and giving presentations to a wide variety of audiences.

At Hackney, we go that extra mile for our people; we offer a work environment which is stimulating, fast moving and supportive, giving you the chance to use your skills and develop new ones within a high profile organisation.
