Join our team!
We're starting a crucial year in our mission to prepare a White Paper, which will outline how landscape architects can play a greater role in resilience-building work within vulnerable communities. We need to grow our team to bring this into reality and want you to be a part of it!
We're looking for people to volunteer on a part-time, flexible basis (committing no more than 4 hours of your time per week) for the following teams:
Research
Objective: Collate the outcomes from our previous 4 Elements & Pecha Kucha Workshops to understand the value of landscape architecture in disaster resilience & other challenges. The team will also reassess our understanding of the global challenges (currently described as unsustainable urbanisation, climate change and mass displacement) and their impacts on vulnerable populations.
As a team member, you’ll have the opportunity to analyse & scrutinise our existing research, identifying gaps which can be further interrogated through workshops (which you’ll also help to plan & organise). You’ll enhance your understanding of the global challenges and the complex ways in which they impact vulnerability, through desktop research and liaising with organisations involved in addressing them.
Communications & Engagement
Objective: Maintain an active network and share knowledge through keeping our newsletter, social media and website regularly updated. We're also considering a brand refresh, ensuring it's consistent across our platforms.
This is an opportunity for you to help prepare our Communications Strategy and plan our communications activities for the year, working with the wider team to prepare social media posts, updating & maintaining the content on our website and supporting the team in preparing the newsletters. If you have effective communications skills, whether verbal, written and/or visual, and an interest in building an organisation's brand then this could be a great opportunity to put them to use!
Sector Analysis: Landscape Architecture
Objective: Understand the awareness, willingness and technical capacity within the global landscape architecture industry to engage with the international development sector.
The role will give you the opportunity to interview organisations & individuals involved with international development internationally and a desktop study of the sector more broadly, working with HLC’s other teams to consolidate this information into the White Paper. We are considering liaising with professional associations such as the Landscape Institute, IFLA and ASLA (among others) to organise a members survey, which you’ll help to organise. This is a great opportunity to connect with professionals around the world, learn more about the work of landscape architects in the international development field and shape the creation of our White Paper.
All of the positions are remote and we're looking for people who want to be part of a team motivated by finding social justice through landscape architecture. The ideal person for these roles will be a good communicator, organises their time effectively and brings a critical viewpoint to their work. If this sounds like you, then apply via email to humanitarianlc@gmail.com with some detail on your experience and what you could bring to the role.
