Working for our organisation Islington is an exciting and dynamic part of London. The council is implementing its transport strategy by making changes to streets and public spaces aimed at encouraging more active lifestyles, reducing road danger and reducing the impact of transport on local air pollution and climate change.

The successful candidate must have very good communication skills and be able to work creatively and constructively within a team, with other parts of the council and partner organisations. A crucial part of this role will be an ability to work positively with stakeholders, the local community and elected members to deliver projects in line with the council's priorities.
