Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity and development trust working locally to combat the climate emergency, tackle fuel poverty and food insecurity, and bring people together for a more sustainable Kirkcaldy. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to meet the needs and goals of local people – working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.
This is an exciting time to join Greener Kirkcaldy. Our staff team is growing as we expand our programme of work to meet the needs of our community and tackle the twin climate and cost-of-living crises. You will also be a part of an exciting 5-year Fife-wide partnership project – Climate Action Fife, of which Greener Kirkcaldy is the lead partner. The project will encourage individuals, households, community groups and businesses to make Fife a greener and fairer place to live.
We are looking for a part-time Business Outreach Coordinator to join our team and lead on the delivery of the ‘Climate friendly business’ strand of our work. This is a new post. You will engage and support micro and small businesses, community buildings and third sector organisations on energy efficiency, renewable energy generation and waste reduction.
You will have a strong track record of working with micro and small businesses and/or social enterprises and community buildings. Experience of developing and delivering training or events is also essential. You do not need to be an expert on the climate emergency or a technical expert on energy in buildings – we will provide training and a great team will support you. You do need to be keen to learn and passionate about making a difference to our community and the environment!
Hours of work: 17.5 hours per week (0.5 full-time equivalent).
