Description of the Climate Hubs Scotland

The national network of 24 Climate Hubs across Scotland aims to provide communities with the capacity and confidence to shape and deliver locally relevant climate action that supports Scotland’s transition to a net-zero, climate-resilient future. Hubs operate as locally rooted, flexible, place-based structures that adapt their models and activities to local priorities and contexts. While the scale and structure of delivery may vary, all hubs share the overarching objectives of building local capability and motivation for climate action and supporting communities to develop and implement climate projects.

The climate hubs are run by local third sector organisations. They vary in size and scale, and employ different models of working, including partnership models.

Purpose and outcomes of the role:

To work with the climate action hubs and Scottish Government to develop and take forward collaborative actions across the national Hub network and to achieve the following strategic outcomes:

  1. The Climate Hub network is better able to share information, work together and support each other.
  2. The network is better connected, with each other, with key partners, and others to ensure that the knowledge of climate action hubs and the communities they serve is used effectively.

Oversight:

The Scottish Government and the lead hub will work with the successful candidate to develop a work plan. Priorities and the work plan will be shaped by the wider climate hub network.

The post holder will be required to provide updates to the Scottish Government and the network on a regular basis. The post holder will work closely with all hubs and in particular with staff supporting national priorities.
