Trustee for Climate Charity
Join to apply for the Trustee for Climate Charity, hands‑on role at EcoCore and EcoCounts
Climate change we're on red alert. We want to demonstrate how individual action contributes on a local, national and global level. We need someone who can commit the time and energy to what we do and help build momentum. What difference will you make? This role is for someone looking to join action while we are an organisation that can give that to you. We have 3 trustees, so when any of them are unavailable, we need additional support averaging around 2 hours a week.

* Awareness of the serious nature of the crisis as per the UN IPCC reports.
* Strong desire to see society make an urgent response to climate change.
* Ability to work online, in person, in different environments with different types of people.
* Consistency and good communication.
* Co‑operation, exchange of ideas, flexibility.
* Ability to put ideas across clearly while seeking first to understand others.
What you will be doing
We are a small, new charity with massive scope to make a difference in shifting the narrative on climate change where other organisations have failed. Our goal for the next 12 months:
* Build our local group of activists who watch their carbon footprint and sustainability.
* Create a carbon labelling campaign, a personal carbon trading group, a carbon footprint and Carbon Accounts app.
* Foster recognition amongst local businesses and government.
* Create a blueprint which can be adopted in other locations.
We want to spread the movement far and wide, to promote public, academic and political acceptance of personal carbon trading and our Carbon Accounts approach by demonstrating how and why it works, and running communications and fundraising campaigns.
Experience and skills
* Charity governance.
* Policy creation and management.
* Strategy, accounts and financial projections.
* Workshop facilitation, managing volunteers, fundraising, carbon emissions data and spreadsheets, writing or journalism on sustainability, social media, photography or videography.
