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.
