Following the local elections in May 2026, Zoë Garbett was elected as the Green Mayor of Hackney. We are now seeking a dedicated Political Adviser to join the Mayor’s Office. In this role, you will provide strategic political, policy, and communications support to Mayor Garbett, helping to turn an ambitious manifesto into reality.

You will bring a detailed understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing London local government, alongside proven experience operating in political environments, offering high-level strategic advice, and managing complex stakeholder relationships. A demonstrable commitment to the values and political priorities of the Green Party is essential.

Hackney is one of the most dynamic and progressive local authorities in the UK. We are a resilient, vibrant, and creative borough in the heart of London, with strong, diverse communities and a powerful set of shared values.

We are leading the way on essential work such as our fight for equity in Hackney with a particular focus on becoming an actively anti-racist borough. We are proactive in our approach to bringing fairness to all aspects of life including gender, neurodiversity and across the poverty divide.

Under the new Green administration, our priority is building a fairer, healthier, and truly inclusive borough that works for – and belongs to – its residents, with safe, decent housing , an inclusive economy for all, and safe and healthy communities. We are looking for people who share this vision and are dedicated to putting community power, equality, and sustainability at the heart of municipal life.
