About Camden We want Camden to be a better borough – a place where everyone has a chance to succeed and nobody gets left behind. Together, with citizens and organisations who call Camden their home, we will create a place that works for everyone and where everyone has a voice. Camden citizens want more of a say over the future of their communities – they have power, energy and ideas that need to be valued and supported. We have already done so much to open up the Council and enable people and organisations to come together to solve common problems – but we have big ambitions to go further. What You’ll Be Doing / How You’ll Be Involved We’re looking for a participation expert who can help us to strengthen community voice and ensure that we’re working alongside our residents to drive the design and shape of local neighbourhoods and services. In this role, you will support the organisation to connect with the wealth of social capital already in the borough, developing a greater understanding of informal community networks and organisers and breaking down barriers to involve and inspire citizens who may not have participated before. You will be experienced in deliberative engagement and democracy and will work with colleagues across the organisation to develop new approaches to bringing citizens closer to service and policy design and decision making. You will champion and enable citizen social activism across the borough and support the Council and partner organisations to connect and work collaboratively with local people.

You will be comfortable in navigating ambiguous situations and imagining how things could be done differently to achieve real change for Camden residents. You will work closely with organisations who ‘Make Camden’, collaborating with our anchor institutions to champion citizen participation and develop new solutions to tackle complex social and economic challenges. You will create space for people to share and apply lessons learned to help others improve their activities. Most importantly, you are passionate about how we can work with citizens and communities to find the best possible solutions to complex challenges.
