Web Development/Designer

POSITION RESPONSIBILITES

We are looking for web developers and designers to contribute to our community-led working circle who are working on coordinating content and infrastructure for the East London Waterworks Park website. All levels of experience are welcomed.

About the Organization

Our park is an idea conceived by local people. At its heart is a community group that wants to acquire and transform the 5.68-hectare ex-Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road in Waltham Forest into a brownfield rainforest offering people the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature. Our exciting ecological vision to rewild the western section of our park, creating brand new wetland habitats to attract a wide range of wildlife. Behind our collective dream of a beautiful biodiverse park for our community is a realistic, detailed and fully costed blueprint. We plan to transform the buried former filter beds and buildings of the historic Lea Bridge Waterworks into a sustainable and thriving mosaic of habitats, wild swimming ponds and community spaces as well as creating a Forest School for local children.
