We are looking for someone who can co-ordinate a Clean Air and Wellbeing programme for schools in Glasgow, and set up 5 bike buses. You will preferably have experience of programme delivery and an interest in active travel, but above all else we want you to be passionate about inspiring others to make change happen and help grow our movement of parents. While this is a time-limited post, we hope to secure further funding to ensure that you can build and grow with us. We are a small team, so your contributions will make a big difference.

- Supporting existing members of Parents For Future Scotland to develop their skills/climate justice perspectives: taking part in WhatsApp discussions, sharing work across social media and other networks and running members’ meetings online once a quarter in the evening.
- Attending team meetings every 6 weeks and develop a broad overview of the strategic direction of the charity

- A flexible working environment, ideal for juggling the stresses of being a working parent if necessary (non-parents welcome too, as long as you can think about the unique challenges faced by parents)
