UK, UK, United Kingdom DiverseJobsMatter Full time

Have an interest or passion for tackling the climate emergency and supporting and empowering people to act? Have expertise and experience in the fields of marketing and communications?


We are looking to recruit someone who has an understanding and commitment to the Foundation’s work. We’re also looking for someone with experience and expertise in the areas of marketing and communications.


We have identified the need to improve diversity and representation on our Board, and we strongly encourage applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and with different identities and experiences to apply for this role. We encourage applications from people from minority ethnic groups, disabled people, and people from working class, or lower socio-economic backgrounds.


Background

In 2023 we launched the Climate Action Fund which supports people in the UK to take action on the climate issues that matter most to them. Since then, we have awarded 22 grants to organisations across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland- committing over £764,000 to local charities and organisations.

The Board is currently comprised of six trustees and led by the Chair Jim Metcalfe.


About the Foundation

We’re a grant-making charity that aims to provide access, opportunities and support to people experiencing inequality to enable them to take direct action in addressing the climate emergency

We know people care passionately about the climate emergency and want to act, but many don’t feel empowered to, or they lack the access to resources and support to do so. We aim to remove those barriers by:

  • Providing multi-year grant funding directly to local organisations that are best placed to support people experiencing inequality to take action.
  • Providing additional non-monetary support to the organisations we partner with to help them grow and thrive. We want them to be around in the future to continue their good work.
  • Committing to sharing best practice, learning and evidence to advance progress in tackling the climate emergency.


About the role

We are keen to recruit a new trustee to build on the skills and expertise of the existing trustees and bring additional knowledge, expertise and perspective to the Board.

The Trustees are responsible for the strategy and direction of the Foundation. Please see Role description for further information on the role of a Trustee.

The Trustee will be appointed to serve for a period of one term (three years), after which, they will be eligible to be reappointed for two further terms (a maximum of nine years in total).

The role of Trustee is voluntary and therefore unpaid. However, any expenses incurred during the course of duties will be reimbursed by the Foundation. For example, travel to and from meetings, overnight stays etc. will be paid for by the Foundation.

Trustees can be based anywhere across the UK, but travel to two in person meetings will be required. The location of these meetings is agreed by the Board.

The role requires around ½ a day a month, which includes quarterly Board meetings of which two are online (normally 3 hours maximum) and two full-day in person sessions per year.


For more information, please read the role description above.
