About the role
Are you interested in creating transport policy that will define the improvements required to improve Brighton & Hove’s transport network to address the problems it faces? We require someone with an inquisitive mind, strong analytical and communication abilities to help us update our Local Transport Plan.
Initially, this will entail creating a solid evidence base for how the transport network is currently working and determining where changes are required. We will then need to interact with stakeholders and the public to communicate our findings and establish policies to address the challenges raised. We will then create an action plan to implement the necessary adjustments.
As a council, we are dedicated to establishing a network that better connects residents, businesses, and visitors, resulting in a higher quality of life in a healthy, inclusive, and carbon neutral community. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a service that has a direct impact on how everyone travels in Brighton and Hove.
