• Support the creation of content for social media, newsletters, and other communication materials according to EASST’s Communications Strategy.
• Collect, organise, and analyse project data to support decision-making and reporting.
• Support engagement with international partners, donors, and beneficiaries, fostering strong and collaborative relationships.

Candidate Specification

• A university degree, preferably in a related field (e.g., transport, public health, communications, social sciences, international relations, geography, or environmental studies).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to create clear, concise, and engaging content.
• Strong organisational and time-management skills, with attention to detail.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office, as a minimum. Familiarity with social media content creation, video editing or web content management systems would be an advantage.
• Experience organising events or project coordination would be desirable.
• An interest in international development, road safety or sustainability with a desire to contribute to meaningful change.
• Sensitivity to work effectively with diverse countries and cultures and a willingness to learn about the geographical regional dynamics.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment and independently when required.

What We Offer

• An opportunity to work on impactful projects in an inclusive environment.
• A chance to make a tangible difference in road safety, sustainable development, and transport initiatives.
• The chance to work with a small, motivated, and experienced team that will support your development and provide opportunities to grow your skills and career.

This role will have a thematic focus on public engagement in decision-making on climate change and nature. Involve has a commitment to use our skills, time and experience to address big challenges. Climate change is one of those big challenges and is a policy area where citizen engagement on both principles and practice is vital.  It, and Net Zero in particular, risk becoming a polarised and politicised issue where there is little room for considered, inclusive decision making. We want Involve’s approach to offer a way through difficult issues like low emission zones and other challenges in a way that centres social justice and equity. 

We have a significant track record in public deliberation on climate change. We ran the first Climate Assembly in the UK and have since delivered a number of projects in this area including the People’s Plan for Nature. We have developed a reputation for best practice public dialogue, deliberation and capacity building. We want to grasp the opportunity for deliberative practices to make a real contribution to the change needed to respond to the climate crisis. 

This role will primarily sit within our Innovation and Practice (I&P) function but will work closely with our Capacity Building and Standards (CB&S) and Advocacy and Communications (A&C) functions. 

The I&P function is responsible for the deliberative, dialogic and participatory projects and processes that we run. The CB&S function aims to build capacity both inside and outside of public institutions to embed the processes, skills, structures and cultures needed for effective public participation in decision-making. The A&C function aims to build political and public understanding of and support for making participation and deliberation an everyday, integral part of our democracy. 

The Climate Engagement Lead will play a central role in taking Involve’s work on climate, environment and the just transition forward. It will mean a collaborative approach -  co-creating and coordinating our strategy on public engagement through a cross functional work group. 

The job will also involve leading several of our major climate change and nature projects, including the UKRI Thriving Places project; maintaining and growing our reputation in climate and environment networks; and communicating the contribution we can make and impact that we are having. Importantly, this role will work closely with others also working on these areas of work.

Manchester Young Lives does education differently. We build trusting relationships that enable young people to feel respected and safe. We facilitate engaging creative personalised learning programmes that leave learners with SEND believing they can succeed. We are looking for passionate values driven professionals who will support young people in our Learning Hubs to believe in themselves and achieve their aspirations.

As part of expanding our Moss Side Learning Hub, MYL is recruiting an Employability Learning Coordinator to facilitate a programme with young people aged 16 - 25 who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Our Learning Hubs provide opportunities to develop skills needed in adult life and employment, with a high level of pastoral support and varied enrichment activities. The Coordinator will work as part of a team with Youth Engagement Workers to motivate and inspire learners to achieve recognised vocational qualifications (EG play or youth work, art, digital, social care, construction, retail, horticulture, drama), and prepare and deliver high quality flexible education that meets needs and goals.
This is a 28-hour part-time role (including 9.30am – 3.30pm Tuesday and Friday) but we are happy to consider additional flexible working arrangements for the right candidate. Successful candidates can choose whether to have a term time only contract (+ 5 training days) with further pro-rata salary, OR a year-round contract with annual leave entitlement and a requirement to support holiday playschemes.
