Join us! Job opportunity: Chief Executive
Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people experiencing fuel poverty and food insecurity.
Our current Chief Executive is stepping down after 11 years leading our staff team and growing our programme of work. As a result, we have an exciting opportunity to join our team.
We are looking for an experienced leader to take the charity on the next stage of its journey.

Greener Kirkcaldy’s work is diverse and includes programmes of action on climate change, fuel poverty and food insecurity. Our work encourages individuals, households, community groups and businesses to make Fife a greener and fairer place to live. We work in Kirkcaldy and across the region of Fife, often in partnership with other charities and public-sector organisations. Projects include the Cosy Kingdom energy advice service, the Climate Action Fife climate engagement project, the Lang Toun Cycles bike reuse enterprise and a range of community food and growing initiatives.
Hours of work: full-time or 28 hours per week (0.8 full-time equivalent). We would consider requests for fewer hours.
