Job Description:
Project Officer for Climate Ambassadors Programme
**Please note this post is open to current University of Leeds employees only**
This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
Overview of the Role
Do you want to support the Yorkshire and Humber regional hub for the national Climate Ambassadors programme? Do you want to support local education settings to help them develop and deliver Climate Action Plans?
The programme was developed in partnership between the University of Reading, the EAUC and STEM Learning to harness the expertise of professionals working in climate research and policy to work with teachers and school leaders to improve climate education. To expand and accelerate the Climate Ambassador programme, nine regional hubs have been established across England with the Yorkshire and Humber hub hosted by the University of Leeds. Each hub will engage education settings (nurseries and Early Years settings, schools, FE colleges and universities) in the programme, whilst also recruiting volunteer Climate Ambassadors to support education settings to develop Climate Action Plans. Climate Action Plans include action over: decarbonisation and energy efficiency; climate adaptation; biodiversity; climate education and green careers
The University of Leeds is one of the top 75 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.
What we offer in return
* 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
* Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
* Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
