Severn Wye is looking for a talented Welsh speaker to empower people and communities living in rural areas to act on climate change. 

Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund (TNLCF), the Energised Communities programme is empowering disadvantaged rural communities in England and Wales to tackle climate change. Our team of place co-ordinators provide support and inspiration for community-led action focused on reducing energy use and generating clean energy, resulting in reduced carbon emissions, increased community resilience, and long-term sustainability.   

 Energised Communities is supporting 10 communities that don’t traditionally engage with climate issues, bringing them together for action-oriented discussions about energy and its impact on climate change. Communities will identify local challenges, establish what people care about and explore solutions. The project will provide inspiration for what’s possible and give communities the tools to make it happen. We will support communities in the long term, recognising that building the ideas, skills and confidence to see projects through takes time. The project will help communities take more control over their energy futures, creating opportunities for green skills, local employment and community regeneration.   

Contract: Flexible working hours or 0.8 FTE (4 days) considered. This role is open to secondment opportunities.
