Climate Ed is an exciting new charity that teaches young people about climate change and
empowers them to take action.

We are looking for someone to work alongside our Programme Co-ordinator to develop and
co-ordinate the non-delivery side of this small and quickly growing charity. The primary focus
is on identifying and actioning fundraising activities, as well as establishing partnerships
with large employers and other organisations to support the programme roll-out as part of their
CSR/volunteering activities.

managing the relationship with non-delivery volunteers. It also covers the basic charity
requirements including Charity Commission reporting and working with the Board to ensure
policies are kept up to date.

This role will also work with the Programme Co-ordinator and Board of Trustees to evolve the
programme and plan further roll-out.

If you are passionate about helping young people understand climate change, address their
eco-anxiety and become empowered to take action with their families and communities, we look
forward to your application.
