Reading, United Kingdom Guide Dogs for the Blind Association Full time

**About The Role**:
Are you passionate about sustainability and want to make a real impact? We’re looking for a Sustainability Assistant to support our environmental sustainability programme, helping us shape the future of carbon reduction, energy efficiency, and sustainable initiatives.

In this role, you’ll be at the heart of data collection and analysis, ensuring accurate tracking of our energy, water, waste, and carbon emissions. You’ll be involved in projects that drive meaningful change, supporting reduction targets and identifying opportunities to make a lasting difference. From managing sustainability data and reporting to engaging with internal teams, your work will help us create a more sustainable future.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your career in sustainability, working alongside experienced professionals in a role where your contributions will be valued and recognised. The role is available on a full-time or part-time basis, offering flexibility to suit your needs.

We’re looking for someone who can start as soon as possible to support this critical work.

About You

You’ll have experience in sustainability, data management, and environmental reporting, along with a strong understanding of carbon emissions and compliance frameworks. You’ll be confident handling data, spotting trends, and presenting findings in an engaging way. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently are key, as is the confidence to communicate sustainability initiatives across different teams.

**About Us**:
No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them - and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.

We value in-person collaboration with our teams and those we support, so the ability to travel to our sites is needed. This role offers flexibility in location, with the option to be based near one of our key office sites in Leamington, Reading, London, Bristol, Atherton or our National Centre near Warwick.

We would also consider someone on a part time basis.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

If you are successful you will need to provide evidence of your right to work in the UK via our digital ID checking supplier; in addition, we cannot offer visa sponsorship at this time.

Every day is different at Guide Dogs. And no person with sight loss is the same. We work side by side, on our sites and in the community, in schools and on our streets, supporting people to live the life they choose. Our staff therefore also work in different ways to support the delivery of our life changing work.

Safeguarding

Guide Dogs is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk of harm with whom we work. We expect all our employees and volunteers to fully share this commitment.
