Transition Network hiring: diversity co-ordinator
By Ed Mitchell 16th January 2010
The research recently done by Gill Seyfang gives a good picture of how Transition is reaching many people that environmental campaigns haven’t attracted (for example, 30% of people in Transition Norwich have never previously been involved in environmental groups).
And we need to do more. Transition Network believes that only by engaging across all sectors of our communities on an equitable and respectful basis can we reweave the fabric of our communities and make the Transition to a vibrant, resilient, low carbon future. As a start we are looking to improve the involvement of those who often are perceived as engaging less with environmental programmes – in particular people in low income, BME and faith groups.
Transition Network has obtained funding for a one year contract to take this work forward. We are looking for someone who can:
- build partnerships with key organisations
- research and evaluate existing projects
- examine the Transition model and message and make improvements to reflect a broader perspective
- help to create resources and workshops in diversity awareness and partnerships for people involved in Transition
If you have a wide range of experience in the diversity field, feel passionate about both environmental and social justice issues, and would like to help broaden Transition’s work in these crucial areas, please download the Job Description. And if you know any other candidates for the role, please forward on these details.
Applications to: jo.coish@transitionnetwork.org
Deadline: 8-Jan-10
Thanks in anticipation.
