Project Officer - Holly Hill Rediscovered (Fixed Term to 30 April 2030)

We are looking for a part-time Project Officer to take the lead on the management of a major landscape regeneration project for Holly Hill Woodland Park in Fareham. There is flexibility with the working pattern, based on 15 hours per week (fixed term contract until 30 April 2030).

You’ll assist with producing and delivering engagement and consultation activities for the project, in order to promote the regeneration of Holly Hill and generate ideas and activities for improvements from those involved.

As the principal day to day link between the Council and the appointed design team, you’ll ensure project records are maintained and carry out periodic monitoring and reporting of the project against agreed targets.

You’ll have a passion for creating great places for people to live, work and visit, and an ability to build valuable relations with both internal and external customers.

You’ll have an understanding of, or interest in, landscape, ecology regeneration and place making.

Able to think creatively to help provide solutions to problems, and excellent communication and analytical skills, you’ll have the enthusiasm, knowledge and drive to move projects forward and see them through to completion.

A full driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes are essential, as is the ability and willingness to work flexibly to support occasional work outside of normal office hours.

We take pride in receiving feedback from others who say we are a friendly and professional organisation. By working for us you will become part of the team and will play your part in serving our community.

You would be joining one of the most forward-looking borough councils in the Southeast, a happy team and a well-managed Council. We offer a great pension scheme, authorised parking, tech schemes and a car lease scheme to name a few of the benefits of working for us.

We encourage our employees to make a valuable contribution to the work of the Council by having a trusting and open culture, where ideas are actively sought. We also recognise the value of a highly motivated and engaged workforce.

We are committed to ensuring our services are delivered to the highest possible standard and we put the customer at the forefront of everything we do.

Fareham Borough Council is committed to being a disability inclusive employer and in order to support this commitment we are proud to be part of the Government's Disability Confident scheme demonstrating that we will provide a fair and equal route to employment with the Council.

Being part of the scheme means we proactively seek to address inequality for those with disabilities by challenging attitudes towards disability, increasing understanding of disability and removing barriers to disabled people and those with long-term health conditions.
