We're recruiting for someone to lead our public engagement work on climate and nature and ensure that the public are involved in critical decisions on how to reach net zero and protect the future of nature and land in the UK.
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.
This exciting role will lead and coordinate our work with institutions, and others, to find a way through difficult issues like low emission zones, the energy transition, industrialisation of green spaces and other challenges in a way that centres the people who are impacted, with a social justice and equity lens. This role will primarily sit within our Innovation and Practice (I&P) function - focused on practical delivery of public engagement such as citizen assemblies, juries and other deliberative processes. The successful candidate will lead several of our major climate change and nature projects, including the UKRI Net Zero Living project - working with 28 Councils to embed meaningful public participation in their route to net zero. You will also contribute to the training, standards setting and advocacy work that Involve does - maintaining and growing our reputation in climate and environment networks and communicating the contribution we can make and impact that we are having.
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 many 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 is a great opportunity to play a central role in taking this work forward. We are looking for someone to bring experience in designing and running participatory and deliberative processes and a good understanding of the complexities and challenges of climate and/or nature. You will need to be committed to taking a collaborative approach - co-creating and coordinating our strategy on public engagement across the organisation and build on the work that others are doing.

The College is entering an exciting period of change and its ambitious plans will necessitate significant fund raising activity, therefore we are expanding resource in this key area. Across the job-share the total resource will be greater than a full-time post.
Integral to the successful running of the department, together with your job-share partner you will be responsible for line-managing four members of the team, liaising with other departments in College, project management and operational and governance support. This post also oversees the events programme for alumni relations and fundraising events.
This is a fantastic opportunity to undertake a stimulating role on a part-time basis. To succeed you'll need a willingness to work flexibly and collaboratively, with the attitude that delivery of results is a shared responsibility. Excellent communication and organisational skills are essential, as is relevant experience of fundraising and events management. The ideal candidate will have experience of using CRM databases or Raiser's Edge/NXT.
The closing date for applications is Monday 21 April 2025.
Interviews will be held on Wednesday 7 May 2025.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Prison Facilitator - HMP Stocken
Shannon Trust facilitator - HMP Stocken
Do you want to join an organisation committed to addressing low literacy levels amongst people in prison?
Shannon Trust are delighted to be working with His Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) to provide peer-led learning programmes at HMP Stocken. Working closely with the prison and their staff, people in prison, Shannon Trust volunteers and mentors, this post will lead the delivery and development of our prison-based reading and numeracy programme, maximising opportunities for people in prison to learn to read.
Ideally you will have some experience of prison settings underpinned by the ability to build relationships and personal qualities that include resilience, determination and a problem-solving approach.
This role is prison based. Employee benefits include a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, paid volunteering days, discounts via Reward Gateway and an Employee Assistance Programme. The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions. These roles do require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
Interviews are planned for 5th May 2025.
