You’ll play an important role in an ambitious programme to transform how we prevent, disrupt and tackle waste crime, planning and delivering engagement with partners and communities across England. You’ll empower others to prevent and disrupt waste crime by helping them understand what waste crime is, how to stop it, report it, and avoid becoming a victim or unknowingly allowing waste to be handled illegally.

You will influence internal and external stakeholders and work in partnership to achieve joint outcomes for waste crime. Internally, you will build an engagement strategy for the next few years, co-ordinating engagement activities across the area and national enforcement service to ensure our work is targeted, effective, innovative and efficient. You will also be responsible for providing leadership on national waste crime engagement plans.

You will be engaging stakeholders to deliver waste crime prevention and disruption messages. Specific responsibilities will include:

• Contribute to the planning and development of a national engagement plan
• Plan and deliver a local engagement plan
• Keep stakeholder analysis and engagement plans up-to-date
• Monitor and record engagement activity across the programme
• Identify new opportunities for engagement
• Support Defra Communications using key waste crime messages
This is an exciting new role in our area Customer and Engagement Team. Working closely with our Enforcement team, you will represent the Environment Agency in working with partners, business and communities to protect the environment and legitimate business from waste crime.
Sharing intelligence and working with our professional partners to prevent and disrupt waste crime is part of our strategy to respond effectively to existing and emerging waste streams being targeted by criminals.
You’ll be an excellent communicator, confident in engaging with people and organisations. This will have been gained through experience in planning and delivering high quality engagement across multiple work areas in a community and/or partner engagement role, ideally with enforcement agencies and partners such as HMRC, Police Forces, and Local Authorities etc.
It would be desirable for you to be familiar with waste regulation, waste crime, or environmental issues caused by poor waste management.
You'll be a quick-learner, with a strong customer-focus, and a desire to make a difference.
Leading projects and coaching others will come natural to you. You'll be organised and have excellent attention to detail, ensuring our work is delivered to a high standard.
You'll be able to work as part of a team and prioritise an interesting and varied workload. You will be good at working under pressure, working flexibly and at pace, and delivering outcomes.
