A full-time opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic individual to join our small, dynamic policy and partnership team as an assistant climate change officer.
The council has set ambitious targets to become a carbon neutral organisation by 2030, and to support the borough to be carbon neutral by 2050. We are about to launch our new Climate Change Strategy for 2023 – 2030 which sets out an ambitious programme of activities to continue our work to become carbon neutral in the forthcoming years.
This is a fast paced, emerging area of work, and an interest in climate change would be beneficial to performing the role. The assistant climate change officer’s main focus will be supporting the climate change officer by providing co-ordination, monitoring, research and administrative functions for the delivery of the council’s Climate Change Strategy.
The duties involve a range of coordination functions to support effective programme management, working closely with services across the organisation and at all levels, supporting the delivery of carbon literacy training to employees and Councillors, facilitating engagement activities, reviewing climate change impact assessments, and monitoring the delivery of the council’s Climate Change Strategy.
Candidates must possess the necessary right to work authorisation to enable them to work for Chesterfield Borough Council. Regrettably, we are unable to provide sponsorship or assume sponsorship of an employment visa at this juncture.

Interested candidates should initially apply with a CV and a covering letter stating the job title, and clearly demonstrating suitability and experience for the role to HRJobs@chesterfield.gov.uk no later than the closing date below.
