Keele University runs the West Midlands hub for the national Climate Ambassadors programme, which is funded by the Department for Education. This programme works to recruit volunteers from businesses, universities, local councils, and charities to help early years settings, schools, and colleges create and implement Climate Action Plans. The program is led by the University of Reading and EAUC, with 9 hubs across England. These hubs grow the network of volunteers and pair them with schools and nurseries to meet key goals set by the Department for Education, encouraging climate action in education. The post holder will help the Regional Hub Manager engage early years settings, schools, and further education colleges in the programme. You'll help create opportunities for educators to connect, share ideas, and learn from each other. A key focus will be on reaching schools and nurseries that haven't started climate action, making sure the programme is accessible to everyone, especially in underrepresented and disadvantaged areas. You'll build on existing connections and develop new ones to ensure the program reaches as many educational settings as possible across the region. You will also help recruit and support volunteer Climate Ambassadors throughout the West Midlands., Keele University is renowned for its exciting approach to higher education, innovative research, beautiful campus, strong community spirit and excellent student experience.
