Job Opportunities
Sustainable Hive CIC is delighted to be supporting the Community Rail Partnership in recruiting two exceptional candidates to shape and deliver a joint education programme for schools, young people and families across the four Community Rail Partnerships (Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Severnside).
Community Rail Partnerships (CRPs) bring together local groups and partners along railway lines to work with the rail industry to deliver a range of community engagement and promotional activities. They promote understanding of the importance of local railways, in terms of improving mobility and sustainable travel, community cohesion and wellbeing, and social and economic development.
There are around 60 Community Rail Partnership across the country, supported by an umbrella association known as the Community Rail Network. Each CRP is an independent organisation, with freedom to design their own a programme of activities according to local need and priorities, under the key pillars set out in the Department for Transport Strategy for Community Rail published in 2018, these being:
· providing a voice for the community
· promoting sustainable, healthy and accessible travel
· bringing communities together
· support diversity, inclusion plus social and economic development
This joint education programme will engage audiences through resource generation shared on our web portal, and inspiring outreach opportunities. We are seeking an experienced learning development manager and learning officer to help drive forwards the vision.
