The position is part-time (16 hours/week) for 6 months, starting mid-May 2025, and requires occasional travel to a central UK city.
Climate Emergency UK is looking for a Communications and Engagement Coordinator to skill up
residents and campaign groups on how to use the Action Scorecards for council climate action,

in empowering residents to use the Council Climate Action Scorecards and drive climate action
at the local level.

About the role

Climate Emergency UK (CE UK) is launching the second Council Climate Action Scorecards in June 2025. We
are looking for someone to support our social media and other communication channels and work
with us to deliver effective and UK-wide outreach on how residents can use the Action
Scorecards for change.

We have a small team of Scorecard Ambassador volunteers that you support and motivate
to deliver ‘How to Use the Scorecards’ sessions in their local areas, both online and
in-person. You will also support and work with media volunteers.

We’re looking for someone who is proactive and confident in building relationships with
volunteers and community groups, and has some experience of using social media to promote
events and engage audiences. We want someone who has an understanding of the complexity of
local government, and is passionate about the power of residents to bring about change.
Councils may not be the sexiest topic, but with up to a third of emission reductions within the
influence of local authorities, there is a real chance to make a significant difference in
reducing carbon emissions and improving our communities.
