Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity and development trust working locally to combat the climate emergency, tackle fuel poverty and food insecurity, and bring people together for a more sustainable Kirkcaldy. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to meet the needs and goals of local people – working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.
This is an exciting time to join Greener Kirkcaldy. Our staff team is growing as we expand our programme of work to meet the needs of our community and tackle the twin climate and cost-of-living crises. You will also be a part of an exciting 5-year Fife-wide partnership project – Climate Action Fife, of which Greener Kirkcaldy is the lead partner. The project will encourage individuals, households, community groups and businesses to make Fife a greener and fairer place to live.
We are looking for two people with proven experience of delivering practical cycling activities, and a passion for engaging communities in active travel to lead on the delivery of Greener Kirkcaldy’s cycling behaviour change activities. You will have excellent organisational skills, the ability to work with a range of people, work well in a team and use your own initiative too. Experience working with volunteers is also essential. You will have good knowledge of the climate emergency and sustainable transport and be enthusiastic about engaging people in carbon reduction.
