BACKGROUND

Edinburgh Communities Climate Action Network (ECCAN) is a network of over 200 community groups and more than 1300 individual members. We aim to engage and empower communities across Edinburgh to take meaningful action on the climate and nature emergency, working towards a just, thriving and resilient city. ECCAN is funded as one of Scotland’s twenty-four regional Climate Action Hubs.

We support collaboration, learning, and collective action across communities, connecting local climate action to wider city and national change.

At ECCAN, we are committed to building an organisational culture that is inclusive, equitable and rooted in care for people and planet.

THE ROLE

The Events Officer will play a central role in planning, marketing, coordinating and delivering ECCAN’s programme of events, both for members and the wider public. These events are a keyway we support community climate action, share learning, build relationships and strengthen the ECCAN network.

As a members’ organisation, we rely on engagement with our network. The role requires the ability to understand and drive uptake in our Events, with a focus on successfully marketing to a community group cohort.

Working closely with the Communications Lead and the Members Lead, the postholder will ensure events are well-organised, accessible, engaging and aligned with ECCAN’s values and strategic priorities.

This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in event organisation, excellent organisational skills, and a genuine interest in climate action and community engagement.

We deliver bi-annual Gatherings for the whole membership to come together, we run monthly ClimateBites networking lunches around the membership, and host, collaborate and attend a variety of community and partner events across the city, throughout the year.

As a charity and social enterprise, our vision is a society where no one should have to be homeless. We challenge the status quo by pioneering solutions that create lasting change, whether that’s by supporting people to find a safe place to call home, empowering and enabling people to get a job, or by providing free, fresh food to people in situation of homelessness or in food poverty.

We are looking for a special someone to join our successful programme Jobs First that aims to provide employment opportunities to people in situation of homelessness. We are looking for a person who will build on an existing relationship with a leading hospitality partner building and developing relationships across their portfolio of sites.

We need a dynamic, creative and reliable team member who can use their own initiative to build strong relationships with various stakeholders. In this role you will be working closely with Programme Co-ordinator to create opportunities for:

• people to gain employment,
• charities to establish referral pathways,
• building local level relationships to build brand awareness with partnering employers

Are you ready to be a part of our dynamic and passionate Social Impact Team, dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of others? We’re looking for someone who thrives in a role full of variety, where each day offers something new.

Do you have experience supporting and developing individuals facing homelessness? Are you eager to join a collaborative team working towards ending homelessness? If you enjoy taking the initiative and working closely with others, this could be the perfect role for you! As part of your role, you’ll need to travel across various locations, bringing your resilience, positive attitude, and a smile to every challenge.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
