Company Board Director
Climate Emergency UK
We are looking for a new Company Board Director to help guide Climate Emergency UK over the course of the next 2 years.
Climate Emergency UK is at a exciting time, since starting just over 5 years ago we have have successfully launched the first ever complete UK assessment of council climate action, with the Council Climate Action Scorecards, and are about to launch the second one in June 2025. We are halfway through delivering our first 3 year strategy, with focusses on how we can advocate at a national level for further and faster council climate action, sustain ourselves as an organisation and keep up our crucial local work with councils and residents via the Scorecards, training and other projects.
We need support from our Board to further the sustainability of the organisation.
We are particularly looking for Directors with either/or any of the following experience:
- Experience of local government, either as a councillor, officer or other
- Landing national media coverage for projects and campaigns and previous work with national and regional news outlets
- Experience of effective fundraising for small organisations
We particularly welcome applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates or other marginalised groups.
To apply, please send us your CV and an Expression of Interest Letter (no more than one side of A4) to our email (click on how to apply for our email address).
Applications close 18th May 2025.
