The Diocese of Truro’s vision for Creation Care invites people to Cherish Creation, Cut Carbon and Speak Up. We are committed to the Church of England’s target of achieving Net Zero carbon emissions in 2030. To achieve this, we have allocated significant resources including finances to facilitate and lead change. This includes provision of direct support to parishes and schools in their own work.

The Diocesan Environment Officer is fundamental to this work – leading us in engaging the hearts and minds of people across the diocese.  This is a role that supports, encourages, challenges and inspires – reaching out to individuals, churches and other Christian communities. The role also is vital in helping to keep us on track on our path to Net Zero, having oversight of the implementation of our Environment Strategy – the plans that are embedded in all our areas of work including church support, schools, land management, offices and housing.

This role gives the opportunity to make a real difference to climate justice and creation care in Cornwall. It is people focussed because people are the key to achieving change. By walking alongside them, encouraging, inspiring and informing them we can do so much more. And doing this in some of the most beautiful places and historic buildings in the country takes some beating!

The right person for this role will be passionate and knowledgeable about climate justice and creation care and committed to reaching Net Zero for carbon. We need a strong communicator who can adjust to different audiences, engaging people in the cause rather than bulldoze them and able to underpin this work with relevant theology. Experience of managing projects, working with volunteers and using a range of media to reach people and places are all essential.

We are very happy to invest in the right person and can offer a range of training and support.

At the Diocese of Truro, we value work-life balance and employee wellbeing and are committed to supporting your development. We offer additional benefits such as flexible working, up to 26 days holiday plus bank holidays, a range of wellbeing activities and the Church of England Pension Scheme with 9-15% employer contributions.

We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, we would particularly welcome applications from those with a disability, or from a UK minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented in our staff.
