Community Engagement Manager at Mount Anvil

The Role

Are you the person who can make a difference in communities? Building relationships, measuring impact, and keeping everyone our teams and our partners in the loop. Our new Community Engagement Manager will be working with residents and local organisations in two London boroughs where we’ve started estate transformation projects. Half the time you'll be out and about running events, making connections in the community and delivering socially impactful programmes and the other half you'll be coordinating matters from the office in Barbican.

Ours is a high-performance culture. High performance in this role means blending a passion for people with the ability to track, measure and work with data.  You’ll also get to take a peek across all of our schemes as you manage the tracking of our Section 106 commitments. This means local employment, apprenticeships, and school engagement are all in your capable hands.

Ideally, you've got at least a couple of years of experience with a main contractor or local authority managing, measuring and delivering social value initiatives on residential projects in London.  

You'll report to Tom, our Social Value and Communications Director and be part of a close-knit team that includes three communications pros and three other Community Engagement Managers. Work on London’s estates is what we do. And our care and time investment in the communities that welcome us is what our partners say is a standout of our approach. We're building something special here (take a look at Mount Anvil on LinkedIn for a sense of the types of better, different community work we pride ourselves on) – and you could be a key part of it!

This is a culture where you’ll be giving and getting feedback from day one, because we think it’s the fastest way to learn and to build trust. We want to be challenged by you, too – we hate unnecessary hierarchy and “my way or the highway” has no place here.

Mount Anvil

What we do: We’ve worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We’re growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we’re raring to get started and make a difference.

Why we’re here: We’re here to pursue better, differently.

Better: One of The Sunday Times’ “100 Best Small Companies to Work For” for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation’s best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).

Differently:  Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It’s definitely not for everyone. We don’t hire know-it-alls, we hire “learn-it-alls”.  As our CEO, Killian, says: “We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers.”

Benefits:

Private medical insurance for you and your family through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free Starbucks, 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).

Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, your annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees. 

We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and “not my job” isn’t in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
