Looking for your next challenge? An opportunity has arisen for a Consultation Officer within Richmond and Wandsworth Councils’ busy Resident Engagement Team. You will be responsible for undertaking staff and public consultations and providing guidance and support to colleagues seeking to engage with communities.
We are a small and supportive team working within a unique shared staffing arrangement. We deliver high quality, often high-profile consultations across both Councils, to ensure we involve residents in the planning of our services and give people a real voice in decision-making.
To join us you’ll need to be up-to-date with consultation best practice, and able to plan, deliver and analyse consultations to a high standard.

A knowledge of consultation software is also desirable.
