Project Manager and PR and Communications Officer (FCCAN)

Greener Kirkcaldy is hiring a Project Manager and a PR and Communications Officer for the Fife Communities Climate Action Network (FCCAN). These roles focus on delivering the Fife Climate Hub, supporting local communities in climate action. Responsibilities include project oversight, communication strategy development, and stakeholder engagement. The positions aim to inspire action and promote collaboration across various community groups in Fife, UK.
Fife Communities Climate Action Network (FCCAN) is a network of community groups in Fife that are taking action on climate change. Our aim is to empower and enable communities to create a low carbon future and promote local resilience and well-being.

We have two exciting opportunities to join a team delivering the Fife Climate Hub, funded by the Scottish Government.

The Scottish Government is building a network of regional community climate action hubs. These will provide a strategic regional approach to climate change action. The network of regional hubs will support communities to take action and will drive wider behaviour change.

Fife Communities Climate Action Network has been funded to develop and run a climate action hub for Fife. Our vision is for a regional hub supporting Fife communities to take practical local action on the climate emergency. The hub will provide advice and support, promote collaboration across communities and sectors and enable learning.

Climate action needs to be everyone’s business. We will reach beyond the people and communities who are already engaged in climate action and engage with people and groups at all stages of their journey. We will raise awareness of climate change, highlight positive examples and inspire action. We will work with a wide range of people and groups to reach different audiences including youth groups, sports clubs, faith groups, equalities groups, community halls, arts groups and community councils.
