Net Zero Carbon Project Officer

The Church of England has an ambition to become Net-Zero carbon by 2030 and has developed a
roadmap with clear milestones for pursuing this goal. As a result of funding already secured
from the national Church of England, we are looking for an Officer to help the Diocese of
Southwell and Nottingham meet our commitments to NZC.

We have portfolio of different buildings and contexts across the Diocese, from ancient churches
to modern church halls and churches of newer construction, we have churchyards both rural and
urban and we have 73 church schools, this variety presents challenges in implementing practical
and individualised NZC solutions.

We already have a NZC Commitment Action Plan agreed and you will work with all stakeholders to
develop this into a detailed Project Plan with achievable targets and aligned resources. You
will work with individual parishes and schools to encourage them to make commitments to NZC and
helping them with their action plans.

You will report regularly to our governance bodies on progress on our action plan, including
carbon reductions and savings achieved.

This is a new post for us and we are looking for someone with the knowledge and understanding
of strategies and interventions which can help us on our NZC journey, who can inspire
commitment, who can work well with all stakeholders with influencing and persuasion skills and
who can work independently to achieve key outcomes.
