Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.
Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.
Growing and connection with nature has central to our work since the beginning. Our community training garden at Ravenscraig Walled Garden is a vibrant space. It offers courses, training and volunteer opportunities in gardening and growing. It also includes a community orchard, with over 100 fruit trees and a ‘wild area’ that is set aside for nature.
As lead partner of Climate Action Fife, we work with others to help people to garden in climate-friendly ways. We've helped people to plant fruit trees and we recently created a demonstration climate-friendly garden at our community building garden in Kirkcaldy town centre. We are always looking for new opportunities to help local people connect with nature on their doorstep.
The Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate individual to lead and develop our growing, nature and outdoor projects work.
As part of our Community Engagement Team, you will work with staff, volunteers and partners. You will develop and deliver a diverse range of events, training and volunteer opportunities around growing and nature.
You will play a key role developing new projects and activities, including grant-funded and income generating ideas. You will lead a small team of volunteers to maintain and develop our community gardens and coordinate day-to-day activities. For some volunteers, this is a pathway towards employment. For others, it is an opportunity for social interaction or to give back to the community.
You don't need to be an expert in climate change, growing or biodiversity. We will provide training and you will be supported by a great team.
Working at Greener Kirkcaldy
We want our town to be a good place to live and work. We want a future where everyone has a say in what happens locally, people are working together to protect our environment and those in hardship are supported to live well. That includes our staff and volunteers.
Working at Greener Kirkcaldy involves being part of a positive, collaborative and social team. Our culture is really important to us. We promote equality, diversity and openness. We have a strong focus on staff wellbeing and development. We also encourage our staff to use initiative and come up with ideas.
Benefits of working with us
We want Greener Kirkcaldy to be an inclusive and diverse charity. People should feel supported, valued and able to be themselves. We take part in Fife Centre for Equalities’ Equality Pathfinders programme. We also take part in the Race Equality Environmental Programme facilitated by CEMVO Scotland. Our Equalities Action Plan sets out the steps we are taking to improve diversity and inclusion.
To achieve our vision of Kirkcaldy as a greener and fairer place to live, we need a diverse team. We encourage applications from people of any background. We know our sector particularly lacks staff and volunteers with Minority Ethnic backgrounds and disabled people. If you come from a minority ethnic background or you have a disability, we encourage you to apply.
Working closely with the LEAP team, the post-holder will be expected to provide administration and digital platform support for the programme delivery, communications, and operational work of LEAP. Predominantly this will involve our website, GSuite, and CRM system, but will include many other online systems and packages. The role is varied and would suit someone with experience of office administration and using online data systems. The postholder will have the opportunity to contribute to a variety of projects and initiatives, and a willingness to collaborate and work closely with colleagues is essential. The post-holder will work from the base of the charity in Glasgow but may need to attend events elsewhere from time to time.
We are seeking a motivated, skilled and reliable person with experience in training or education. You will have a good working knowledge of LGBTIQ+ identities, and be able to positively convey this information through (online and in-person) training for the sport and physical activity sector.
This comes at a time that we seek to grow our training and education offer, and develop our work with sport and physical activity stakeholders. Working collaboratively within the current team, the Training & Development Officer will deliver LGBTIQ+ awareness training and produce resources, all seeking to improve access and participation to sport and physical activity, whilst contributing positively to the organisation's mission and goals.
Location: The post-holder will primarily work from our Glasgow office, which can be combined with some home-working. Training delivery and partnership working will involve travel to work in other areas in Scotland.
