Community Mapper (Fixed Term)

The Public Map Platform, a large research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council is seeking further help as community mappers.

This exciting project is exploring how to make planning consultation more inclusive across the UK. The focus of its first pilot project is Isle of Anglesey/Ynys Môn. For more details see www. publicmap.org

The community mappers will work in schools, leisure centers and events across the Island helping children and young people create data for our community made maps. Three different kinds of data will be collected - environmental, social and cultural. If you have a preference, please state it in your application.

The project is based on the Isle of Anglesey and run by the Public Map Platform team in the Department of Architecture, University of Cambridge in conjunction with Cardiff and Wrexham Universities and a large range of other partners. There will be full training given, and there is flexibility between working 3 days per week (0.6 FTE), up to full-time - please simply state your preference in your application.

Each day will start at the project headquarters in Llangefni. On a day-to-day basis you will be working in schools and venues across the island deployed by our team of project co-ordinators. Fluency in spoken Welsh, flexibility, excellent communication skills, and a desire to work with the community will ensure that this role is enjoyable and fulfilling. The role would particularly suit those with experience of working in classrooms.

A typical day could include:

It is an exciting time to join the project, as well as to be part of the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge.
