Role

Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.

Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.

As a Development Worker for the Community Engagement Team, you will lead aspects of delivery for the Climate Action Fife project. Climate Action Fife is an innovative cross sector partnership. It runs from 2022-2027 with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund’s Climate Action Fund.

Alongside this work, you will be responsible for delivering additional Greener Kirkcaldy community engagement events and activities.

Your role involves:

• Developing and facilitating programmes of events and activities
• Developing partnership opportunities across Fife and supporting partner development
• Training and supporting volunteers
• Developing engagement and behaviour change campaigns along with our Development and Communications Team
• Monitoring and evaluating activities and working closely with other teams within Greener Kirkcaldy.

You will have some experience of, and a passion for, engaging with individuals and communities around the climate emergency. You will have some knowledge of actions people can take to enjoy more environmentally-friendly lifestyles.

You will have excellent organisational skills, the ability to work with a range of people and work well both in a team and using your own initiative.

Diversity and inclusion

We want Greener Kirkcaldy to be an inclusive and diverse charity where everyone feels supported, valued and able to be themselves. We take part in Fife Centre for Equalities’ Equality Pathfinders programme. We also take part in the Race Equality Environmental Programme facilitated by CEMVO Scotland. Our Equalities Action Plan sets out the steps we are taking to improve diversity and inclusion.

To achieve our vision of Kirkcaldy as a greener and fairer place to live, we need a diverse team. We encourage applications from people of any background. We know that our sector particularly lacks staff and volunteers with Minority Ethnic backgrounds and disabled people. If you identify as Minority Ethnic or have a disability, we welcome your application.
