We are seeking a dynamic climate change and sustainability expert that understands the challenges and opportunities presented by Climate Change and addressing wider sustainability issues. Your style and approach will reflect our values and behaviours: you will be committed to continually learning and improving the way you do things to ensure effective outcomes; you will work together to deliver our projects and services; you will enjoy taking personal responsibility to resolve issues and change what you do and how you do it to make a difference; you will be innovative and seek opportunities for new ways of working.
The Climate Change and Sustainability Officer supports various members of the service, including the Principal Climate Change and Sustainability Officer and the Head of Service, in taking forward projects to deliver carbon neutrality and climate resilience. The post has confirmed funding for 2 years, and the service is currently exploring options for continued funding beyond that.
This is an excellent opportunity for a senior professional looking to take the next step in their career or move to a dynamic and fast-paced local authority. Excellent written and communication skills are essential as you will be interacting with businesses, the general public, partner agencies, other Council officers and elected members.
Applicants must have a degree or equivalent qualification. You will have 3 years relevant experience involving collaborative working across a range of stakeholders and a good understanding of the principles of sustainability and climate change.
We recognise that having a diverse workforce is essential to bringing fresh ideas and perspectives to our Council, so we particularly welcome applications from minority, marginalised and diverse groups, and we in turn promise a fair and unbiased recruitment process.
