20 hours ago

Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Friends of the Earth Scotland Full time

About the role:

The focus of this role is our campaign for better buses. Our vision is of an accessible, extensive, publicly-owned bus network that's free for everyone. A comprehensive, reliable bus network is essential for tackling climate change and reducing inequality – connecting communities and getting people out of private cars. However, the current network is run by private operators, often expensive and unreliable with routes cut and standards declining.

This role is key in building power in our movement to win a better transport system in Scotland – one that cuts climate emissions, connects communities and is run in the interests of passengers, not profit.

Transport is Scotland's largest polluting sector, so tackling the transport system is vital for cutting fossil fuel use and climate emissions.

Friends of the Earth Scotland is committed to building a powerful movement for system change, and we believe that communities must take the lead in the transition away from our car-dominated system, so that what replaces it works for all of Scotland.

The successful candidate will have experience and skills in local organising or supporting volunteers. We are looking for someone who can bring new people into the movement, and support and motivate volunteers and local organisers in their communities.

We're looking for someone with excellent listening skills, who can build relationships with people and organisations and support them

to campaign for change in their communities.
