Job description

Could you be called to climate action?
Take the lead on our strategic priority of achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2030!

The Dioceses of Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford will be working together in a collaborative venture: your mission will be to lead the delivery of decarbonisation plans across the three dioceses. This role is a key part of the first phase of our ongoing plans, and is a fixed-term post until August 2026, bringing expertise, building capacity and supporting early delivery milestones. This role will focus on hands-on delivery in Worcester, as well as offering support in carbon reduction initiatives for church buildings across the region. You will also line manage two Project Managers in your team across the region, each with complementary specialisms in the field of decarbonisation.

You will join our committed and inspiring team here at the Diocese of Worcester as we work together to deliver real change in our communities. For this role, we welcome interest from those wishing to work either on an employed basis or in a consultancy capacity. You will have:

• expertise in carbon reduction initiatives, preferably within a heritage context; we are also willing to support candidates with appropriate transferable skills in developing specific skills in the area of church buildings
• a passion for reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change within historic buildings
• strong project management skills

The objectives of this role are:

• drive the decarbonisation programme across the three dioceses, ensuring alignment with and progress toward the net zero carbon targets in each diocese by 2030. 
• provide strategic oversight and direction to the overall program, ensuring it remains on track to achieve its carbon reduction objectives. 

The Diocese of Worcester is a great place to work with excellent holiday allowances and a very good pension. We want to give those who work for us the flexibility to balance their work and home lives well. We are privileged and excited to work together to bring the good news of Jesus to our communities across Worcestershire and Dudley; being a part of that is really special. For an informal chat please call Becky or Jo in the HR team on 01905 730730.

The Church of England is for everyone, and it is a priority for us to reflect the diversity of the community the Church serves across the whole diocese. We welcome all applications from interested and suitably qualified people, and particularly welcome applications from those of UK minority ethnic / global majority heritage and people with disabilities.
