Training Manager Jobs

As our digital communications and engagement manager, you’ll take an editorial role in ensuring our website is accessible and regularly updated with relevant and engaging content.

And you’ll use our software to create digital tools allowing our supporters to take meaningful action.

Whether it’s donating to our cause or emailing local politicians, you’ll be the person who inspires people to take action on climate.

In our small comms team, there is a lot of crossover between roles, so you will also occasionally be asked to pitch into other functions across the team such as social media and press, and take joint responsibility for some of our administrative work. But don’t worry, we can train you up on this!

Working with others in the Possible team, you’ll take a proactive approach to deepening engagement among our existing supporters, and attracting new people to our campaigns through our website and digital tools. You’ll also be invited to contribute to general marketing, media, outreach, fundraising and campaign strategy.

We usually work 9.30-5.30pm but staff can use flexitime to work the hours that work for them depending on the day, within reason i.e. 8-4pm or split shifts for the school run. Our all team meetings mostly run 10-1pm and smaller team meetings are usually in the afternoon.

About Possible 

Our values Daring, Joy and Community guide our actions and our organisational culture. Here at Possible, we have a vision for a zero carbon Britain that has been built by and belongs to everybody. Our mission is to inspire people in the UK to take the action the climate crisis demands.

We create, build, and share ways people can take meaningful action on climate change together. We translate overwhelming climate urgency into socially just and workable proposals the public can get behind. And we do it all with a can-do attitude and stubborn optimism.

Commitment to anti-oppression

We have made a commitment to make Possible an anti-oppressive place to work. We’re doing the work to undo inequalities and oppressive systems reflected in wider society, and are an inclusive and welcoming group that wants our team mates and the communities we work with to be able to thrive.

We believe that our team and our projects should reflect the diversity of the communities they seek to serve. We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, disabled people, those who are neurodivergent, people who have experienced mental health challenges and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.

There are 1.5 million children and young people with a disability (CYPD) in the UK.  Over three quarters cannot access regular leisure facilities which massively impacts their health and well-being. Furthermore, the impact of living with a disability can have a significant impact on the wider family, with over 72% of parents reporting mental health challenges and over two thirds saying they feel isolated some or all of the time.

Gympanzees’ mission is simple. We want all children and young people living with a disability to have access to high-quality, fully inclusive leisure facilities so that they can enjoy fun, fitness, and friendships and support their families out of isolation.

Sounds simple, but it’s a huge task.  There is nowhere in the UK like this. Anywhere. At all.  But we’re changing that, and we want you to join us!

Since 2018 we’ve been hosting Pop Up’s during easter and summer months, across Bristol, in various special schools which has seen us welcome over 23,500 visitors.  Each one has helped hone and improve our delivery model, and longer-term plans.  These Pop Ups have seen some incredible firsts, including:

· A 6 year old taking their first steps

· A 12 year old sleeping through the night for the first time

· A 3 year old having his first laugh

· An 8 year old rolling over for the first time

Families have travelled from all over the country to enjoy the Pop Ups, some covering 6-hour journeys just for their afternoon of fun!

During COVID we quickly adapted our offer to include a Lending Library which continues to this day, offering nearly 300 items of specialist equipment, free of charge.

In 2023 we purchased a new site to develop into a permanent home which will open in summer 2026.  Redevelopment is underway, and so too is an £8 million campaign to support this extraordinary project.

This will be a game changer for the children and families we support.  Truly transformational and life changing.   Want to be part of it?
