Come and join our team at the Environment Agency. We are looking for a stakeholder engagement specialist who has experience of working on large and small projects and contentious issues.
We are looking for someone who has proven ability to plan and deliver engagement that:
- Achieves clear business and engagement objectives.
- Recognises the importance of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
- Uses engagement styles that are appropriate for different stakeholders.
In this role, you will use your experience to provide specialist engagement advice to project teams and individual colleagues. You will help them plan, deliver and evaluate their stakeholder engagement. This could include giving support on writing engagement objectives, stakeholder analysis or developing key messages for a contentious issue. You will attend project team meetings to advise on all aspects of their engagement plan.
You will take the lead at looking for opportunities in the area to promote the importance of engagement planning to colleagues.
You will also use our training guide, Working with Others, to develop your colleague’s engagement skills. And so, you must have experience of training individuals and groups.
You must be an excellent, clear, confident communicator, able to adapt your written and verbal style to different stakeholders’ needs. You must be able to prioritise your work and be happy working individually and as part of a team.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You will be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.
