focus on the London Borough of Brent. The usual work pattern will be 3 days of delivery and 2
days of planning/reporting.

and small scale construction, experience of leading volunteer teams, project management skills,
experience of dealing with customers and suppliers as well as having a solid grounding in urban
nature conservation.

Don’t have all of these? That doesn’t mean this isn’t the job for you! If you are a
