EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their background. We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in the climate sector and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We are particularly keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; people with disabilities; people who identify as being LGTBQIA; people who have a mental health condition; and people who identify as working-class or have done so in the past.

ABOUT THE CLIMATE COALITION

The Climate Coalition is the UK’s biggest group of people dedicated to action on climate change with a combined supporter base of more than 22 million people. We encompass over 130 organisations spanning nature, environment, international development, faith, community and women’s groups – from the National Trust to the NUS, WWF to the Women’s Institute, the RSPB to Islamic Relief. 

We bring people from all walks of life together to use their voices to ask decision-makers to take urgent action to tackle climate change and protect what we love from its worst impacts. In the coming year, with an election on the horizon, we will be working with our members to mobilise networks and individuals in local communities to demonstrate the public mandate for urgent political action.

The Climate Coalition is coordinated by a small central secretariat team, working closely with colleagues from our member organisations.

This role is critical to the running of the organisation, with the opportunity to get involved in diverse campaigns and projects. It is a great opportunity to be at the heart of and get to know a diverse coalition of organisations acting together to create a cleaner, greener and healthier nation.
