REPORTS TO: Zero Carbon Cumbria Project Manager.

SALARY RANGE: £23,000 – £27,000 per annum full-time equivalent (£18,400 – £21,600 for the 30-hour week), depending on skills and experience.

DURATION: Fixed-term contract from April 2021 to end Dec 2025 (4.75 years).

ABOUT CAFS:

Our vision is a zero-carbon Cumbria and we strive to bring about a better way of life, in balance with our environment.

Our mission is to empower and enable people, communities and businesses to live and work more sustainably by sharing our knowledge, practice, skills, networks and practical experience. We manage and deliver events, advice, training and practical projects across the county as well as providing specialist consultancy services to enable individuals, communities, businesses and local authorities to drive a shift towards a zero-carbon Cumbria.

Now in our 23rd year, CAfS is an award-winning charity with a team of more than twenty highly skilled staff, working with a pool of specialist contractors and volunteers to deliver around 20 low-carbon projects each year. CAfS showcases low-carbon living, energy-efficiency improvements, renewable technology and reduced use of fossil fuels, both on a domestic scale and in the community. It is the first point of reference in the county for information on sustainability. CAfS is a dynamic, proactive and responsive organisation delivering projects that drive real change towards a low-carbon future.

THE CUMBRIA SUSTAINABILITY NETWORK (CSN):

The Cumbria Sustainability Network was established as an informal initiative in 2008 by Sustainable Brampton and a number of other groups including Killington & District Sustainable Energy Trust, Sustainable Energy Network Staveley, Cumbria Action for Sustainability, Riversmeet (Cockermouth), Sustainable Carlisle, Towards a Community Transition and Ambleside Climate Change Forum. The groups involved have a wealth of knowledge and experience of a wide range of environmental issues and have a particular interest in encouraging individual and organisational behaviour change to help achieve zero-carbon emissions goals and other environmental objectives.

BACKGROUND TO THE ZERO CARBON CUMBRIA PROJECT:

Cumbria Action for Sustainability is co-chair of the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership (ZCCP), which involves more than 70 organisations spanning the public, private and third sectors, with the aim of delivering a coordinated partnership emission reduction programme to bring about a zero-carbon Cumbria by 2037.

CAfS has been awarded £2.5 million from the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund, on behalf of the ZCCP, for a five-year Zero Carbon Cumbria project. Eleven of the organisations in the ZCCP will be involved in directly delivering community projects, as part of the lottery funded project.

The lottery funded project will tackle some of the main sources of carbon emissions in Cumbria, with a particular focus on food, energy generation and the goods we buy. People who live, work and study in Cumbria will be able to take advantage of a whole range of opportunities to cut their own carbon footprint and that of their communities, playing their part in global actions to stop climate change. The community projects have been devised by community organisations and chosen because of their wide benefits to local people.

One of these community projects is focused on supporting the development of the Cumbria Sustainability Network, offering county-wide support to community groups, many of which are volunteer led, facilitating knowledge sharing and peer mentoring and ensuring that there is a real community influence both in the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership and more widely in any decision-making that impacts emissions throughout the county. Community groups will be delivering projects, events and training across the county, and championing community-led emission reduction. There will also be a £100K grant fund to help groups take climate action.

LOCATION: Eden Rural Foyer, Old London Road, Penrith, CA11 8ET with travel to meetings and events in other Cumbria locations, when Covid-19 restrictions allow. Homeworking beyond Covid-19 is possible by agreement.

REPORTS TO: Project Manager Zero Carbon Cumbria.

SALARY RANGE: £24,000 – £29,000 per annum full-time equivalent depending on skills and experience.

DURATION: Fixed-term contract starting as soon as possible, to end of December 2025.

ABOUT CAFS:

Our vision is a zero-carbon Cumbria and we strive to bring about a better way of life, in balance with our environment.

Our mission is to empower and enable people, communities and businesses to live and work more sustainably by sharing our knowledge, practice, skills, networks and practical experience. We manage and deliver events, advice, training and practical projects across the county as well as providing specialist consultancy services to enable individuals, communities, businesses and local authorities to drive a shift towards a zero-carbon Cumbria.

CAfS is an award-winning charity with a team of seventeen highly skilled staff, working with a pool of specialist contractors and volunteers to deliver around 20 major, transformational low-carbon projects each year. CAfS is the leading organisation in Cumbria showcasing low-carbon living, energy-efficiency improvements, renewable technology and reduced use of fossil fuels, both on a domestic scale and in the community. Now in our 22nd year, CAfS is the first point of reference in the county for information on sustainability. CAfS is a dynamic, pro-active and responsive organisation, continually striving to deliver effective projects that make an impact and drive real change towards a low-carbon future. As such, we continually initiate, scrutinise, refine and launch new projects, accessing funding from a variety of sources or earning income from delivering specialist services.

BACKGROUND TO THE ZERO CARBON CUMBRIA PROJECT:

Cumbria Action for Sustainability is co-chair of the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership (ZCCP), which involves nearly 70 organisations spanning the public, private and third sectors with the aim of delivering a coordinated partnership emission reduction programme to bring about a zero-carbon Cumbria.

CAfS has been awarded £2.5 million from the National Lottery’s Climate Action Fund, on behalf of the wider partnership, for the five-year Zero Carbon Cumbria project. Eleven of the organisations in the ZCCP will be involved in directly delivering elements of the Lottery-funded project and the whole partnership will be involved in wider decarbonisation programmes in order to reach the county’s zero-carbon goal. People who live, work and study in Cumbria will be able to take advantage of a whole range of opportunities to cut their own carbon footprint and that of their communities, playing their part in global actions to stop climate change.

The project, which sits within the wider Zero Carbon Cumbria programme, will tackle some of the main sources of carbon emissions in Cumbria, with a particular focus on food, energy generation and the goods we buy. The sub projects have been devised by a range of community organisations and chosen because of their wide benefits to local communities. More information about the project is available here: https://cafs.org.uk/our-projects/zero-carbon-cumbria-programme.

MAIN PURPOSE OF ROLE:

The postholder will be responsible for developing, leading and delivering the communications strategy for the Zero Carbon Cumbria programme, and managing communications for the projects that CAfS will deliver as part of the programme. The postholder will work at a strategic level, advising and influencing senior decision-makers and representatives from the diverse organisations in the Partnership, to gain buy-in for and participation in effective communications approaches. The postholder will also work at a tactical level, planning and delivering communications activities and collateral, working closely with the Zero Carbon Cumbria staff team based across several organisations.

• Support community sustainability groups to develop communications skills.
• Ensure that communications across the Zero Carbon Cumbria programme as a whole increase reach, broaden and deepen engagement, communicate learning and maximise impact, ensuring that project communications add up to more than the sum of their parts and helping to create a lasting legacy for the programme.
• Contribute to the development and implementation of effective internal communications mechanisms between partners, working alongside other members of the ZCC staff team.
• Develop and maximise impact from offers of in-kind support from comms teams within partner organisations.
• Establish strong working relationships with key media partners and influencers to secure positive coverage of the Partnership’s work towards a zero-carbon Cumbria.
• Contribute to building effective working relationships within the new project staff team, who are based across several organisations, including the Partnership Manager, Zero Carbon Cumbria Project Manager , Local Authority Climate Officer and Carbon Monitoring Officer, in order to support delivery of the communications strategy.
• Monitor and evaluate communications impacts and outcomes, reporting quarterly to the Zero Carbon Cumbria Project Manager, including periodic reviews of programme communications by delivery partners, and actively use learning outcomes to continuously improve communications.
• Ensure all communications are compliant with relevant regulations such as GDPR and other data protection and security rules, media law and advertising regulations.

MAIN TASKS:
