As our Community & Education Outreach Lead, you'll design and deliver engaging education sessions, community events and behaviour change initiatives that promote sustainable water use and environmental awareness.

- Evaluate programme success and use insight to continuously improve delivery.
- Collaborate with colleagues across the business to support wider environmental and sustainability objectives.

You'll be a confident communicator who enjoys engaging with people from all backgrounds and can adapt your approach to suit different audiences. You'll also have:
- Experience delivering education, training or community engagement programmes.
- The ability to explain technical or complex information in an engaging and easy-to-understand way.
- Excellent presentation and facilitation skills.
- Experience building strong relationships with external stakeholders.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Confidence working independently while collaborating with colleagues across different teams.
- A passion for sustainability, education and making a positive impact within local communities.
- A teaching or training qualification, experience working across both education and community engagement settings, and knowledge of the National Curriculum would be advantageous.
