CEMVO Scotland is a national intermediary race equality organization with the aim of building the capacity of the ethnic minority voluntary sector and its communities.

The main role of this post is to support the further development of an ethnic minority environment network that we have developed over the past 10 years which has a membership of over 100 EM groups / individuals. Thus, you will need to have extensive knowledge of climate change issues and the ability to contribute effectively to environmental policy development and decision-making processes.

The ideal candidate should also have a good understanding of race equality and the ability to empathise with the issues affecting ethnic minority communities and using that knowledge to work with mainstream environmental agencies / stakeholders to be more inclusive in environmental decision making.

The ability to help build the capacity of EMEN members is also important, so that they have the skills and knowledge to contribute and influence environmental policy.

The person will also need to have extensive skills and experience in organizing events and organizing / delivering capacity skills training, including environmental race/equalities leadership.
