Job opportunity – Senior Project Coordinator (maternity cover)

Would you, or someone you know, like to join our passionate, ambitious and creative team and support Bristol on the journey to becoming zero carbon, nature-rich and socially just?

Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership brings together its 1,300+ member organisations to take action towards a zero carbon, nature-rich and social just future for our city and region.

We are looking for a Senior Project Coordinator, to help deliver the Community Climate Action Project, one of our priority projects, whilst the project’s existing Senior Coordinator is on maternity leave.

The Community Climate Action Project is an ambitious, citywide programme funded by the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund. It demonstrates the important role communities can play in achieving the city’s climate and nature ambitions, whilst also improving people’s quality of life. The Senior Coordinator will collaborate with over 20 community-based organisations, strategic partners and climate, nature and equity partners – working closely with the Head of Community Partnerships to provide central coordination for the project.

Day to day activities will include liaising with project partners to keep track of activities, organising meetings, facilitating project activities (events, workshops, commissioned work), working with the communications team to develop materials and content to reach a wide range of audiences, supporting monitoring and evaluation, and connecting with other city-wide and regional strategic projects that enhance or bring new opportunities for the delivery of community climate action plans.

The successful candidate will have experience of working with the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector, will bring awareness and sensitivity to manage the needs of a community-led project, identifying synergies that bring the maximum benefit to the communities who are at the heart of this project along the way.

This post is offered on a fixed term basis, to provide maternity cover.
