About Your Park Bristol & Bath

Your Park Bristol & Bath is a young and dynamic charity aiming to ensure that everyone can

access parks and their transformational health and wellbeing benefits. Access to green

space is a social justice issue and we aim to reduce inequalities by understanding and

welcoming spaces. As a growing organisation, we are seeking a motivated Head of

impact on the communities of Bristol and Bath. You will lead the introduction of new systems

and processes, improve reporting mechanisms, and ensure our projects deliver outstanding
