Job description
**Exciting opportunity - Sustainability Programme Officer - Fixed term - up to March 2027**
Do you have significant experience of delivering climate change programmes and are looking for your next career development opportunity?
Can you lead and develop decarbonisation programmes that will drive forward climate action? Are you able to build strong and effective partnerships across diverse organisations to support our climate goals? If so we would love to hear from you.
Sheffield has a bold vision to become a net zero-carbon city working with our partners, residents, businesses and city institutions to help make this a reality. We have launched our first Decarbonisation Route maps, setting the stage for innovative projects like expanding our heat networks and rolling out electric vehicle recharging infrastructure.
Delivering these programmes will require significant investment and the Council has committed to issue its first Local Climate Bond this coming year.
You’ll be expected to have proven professional excellence in the field of climate change and considerable experience in the governance and delivery of decarbonisation programmes and projects.
With excellent verbal and written communication skills, you will be able to build strong relationships and have experience of preparing business cases, securing funding or investment and possess robust financial management skills.
If you join our dedicated friendly team, you will enjoy a supportive and flexible work environment in Sheffield’s award-winning outdoor city.

For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Mark Whitworth, Sustainability and Climate Change Service Manager
We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.
Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.
Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.
If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide payslip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.
