Goals for Climate - Sustainability Manager

As the climate crisis deepens, engaging a broader more diverse audience in climate action is essential for achieving net-zero targets and ensuring a just transition for vulnerable communities. Research in Northern Ireland suggests, that local communities feel disconnected from decision-makers shaping climate policy, requiring more relatable accessible pathways to engage in climate solutions. The Goals for Climate programme aims to address this need, through an exciting programme funded by The National Lottery Community Climate Action Fund.

The Sustainability manager will be responsible for leading on developing the Goals for Climate programme working with the IFA Foundation and Queens university to deliver on the Climate Action programme outcomes.

The role is varied and challenging, dealing with emerging climate change concepts, while coordinating delivery of a multi-layered work programme. It requires a driven, curious, and collaborative approach. In this role you will have the opportunity to develop skills in design and delivery of work programme actions, training and event organisation and gain valuable experience leading on climate action in Groundwork NI. You will represent Groundwork at external events and meetings, ensuring that you collaborate, share and learn from other leaders in climate action within the sector. You will be able to communicate clearly and work effectively with a range of key partners and stakeholders, working with colleagues across the Trust and the Groundwork Federation.
