Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.
We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the city.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference by helping residents access activities that enrich lives, promote health and encourage social inclusion.
As Leisure and Culture Development Officer, you will support the Community and Partnerships Manager in developing collaborative delivery models, fostering strong partnerships and advancing place-based approaches to service delivery. You will help coordinate projects, programmes and initiatives that contribute to the Council’s priorities around health, inclusion, participation and economic growth, while identifying opportunities to expand engagement and improve outcomes for residents.
