Role

Introduction to 2050 Climate Group

Our vision is that by 2050, young people will be active citizens, having led and accelerated the progress to a just and sustainable society. Since we formed in 2014, we have been volunteer-driven and the majority of our work is delivered by a large committed group of volunteers with key support from our trustees’ and a small staff team. You'll be joining a

collaborative, innovative and dynamic team which values wellbeing. This will be a great chance to develop yourself and contribute in a real way to tackling the climate crisis. We have been working to empower, equip and enable Scotland's young leaders, aged 18-35, to lead action on tackling the climate crisis. In 2016, the group delivered its first major programme of work, our award-winning Young Leaders Development Programme (YLDP) and our work continues to evolve. In 2018, 2050 Climate Group undertook its first international project in partnership with Malawi Scotland Partnership (MaSP), the Malawi Climate Leaders Project. This is an exciting opportunity to join us as we build on our digital presence after COP26 and look forward to 2022 which has been designated Scotland's Year of Stories. 2050

Job Purpose

You will play a critical role in the development and implementation of our Communications Strategy. You will coordinate the organisation's external communications, with a strong focus on collaborating with our volunteers to generate social media and website content. This role will work across the whole organisation to capture stories and ensure our audiences clearly understand who we are, what we do, and how they can get involved. This will be done in an accessible way with a focus on reaching new audiences.Crucial to this role is supporting and empowering our volunteers, and other staff and trustees’ where appropriate, enabling them to perform their roles to the highest standard with the highest impact. There may be some opportunities for line management of paid placements (e.g. through the Kickstarter scheme) where they occur.

You will be a flexible individual, able to co-ordinate people, processes, and projects with confidence and quickly be able to build rapport with others. You will be essential in managing and co-ordinating our communications activities and able to deal appropriately with reactive media and communications. You will work closely with volunteers, therefore flexibility with working patterns is required for regular evening and weekend work.
