Engagement and Participation Officer
Waverley Court
Salary: £39,129 - £46,023
Hours: 36 per week, 52 weeks
We're looking for an Engagement and Participation Officer to support the City of Edinburgh Council to move forward with an exciting place-based property improvement programme. We are looking for someone who will enjoy speaking to our communities, is creative and will embrace new approaches.
The aim of the programme is to support people to 'live well locally' by improving access to services at the same time as reducing the number of properties from which services will be delivered. This will require extensive and purposeful joined up engagement.
The Engagement and Participation Officer will be based in our Strategic Asset Planning service. They will be part of the programme team working to engage with local communities and colleagues across Council services and partner organisations to develop a place-based approach to change and property investment. A place-based approach requires joint working, collaborative work that takes account of the unique blend of characteristics that exist in every place.
The Engagement and Participation Officer will initiate, develop, manage and monitor engagement and participation activities targeted for appropriate audiences and stakeholders. This could include public drop-in events, focus groups, workshops and online consultation tools. They will also be expected to analyse information and consider the key learnings to help inform decisions.
This is a full-time post (36 hours a week) offering an excellent pension package and a competitive salary. There may be occasions that require you to work outwith your normal work pattern, for example if you were supporting an evening engagement event.
The post is based from our central Edinburgh office at Waverley Court. We will consider flexible working and blended working is an option. Blended working is an informal flexible working arrangement, where you spend some of your time working in the workplace, as outlined in your contract, and some of your time working remotely, either in another workplace location or site, or from home. Within the Council we follow a model of blended working where you'll be in your place of work from two days a week.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we're bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.
To help achieve this, we're changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.
