Overview
An exciting role has arisen for a highly motivated individual to join Sussex Community’s nationally-recognised sustainability team, supporting our Care Without Carbon (CWC) programme within the Trust and the wider region. This role is for 3 days per week but we could also consider a 2 day per week role, spread over 4 half days. The post-holder will play a key role supporting Care Without Carbon's sustainability engagement programmes and associated wellbeing/sustainable behaviour change offering both internally and for other trusts. This is not a sustainability officer role; the focus is on staff engagement in support of sustainable healthcare.
