Job Description

We are looking for someone with experience of working with communities and a passion for delivering climate solutions which improve people's lives. Do you enjoy working with diverse groups of people to help deliver projects which work for them? Are you excited to work with communities to unblock delivery of innovative local clean energy and heat projects that cut emissions and energy poverty, and empower communities to take control of their energy and heat provision? If so, we should talk!

As our new Community Heat and Energy Project Manager, you'll play a key role in delivering our major new community heat and energy workstrand. You'll work with local communities and expert research partners to move forward local renewable energy projects which help power clean heat solutions at three different sites in England, as well as developing ways to remove barriers to delivering this type of project, such as supplying energy locally and matching supply and demand.

Contract:

16 months at 4.5 days per week (or a nine-day fortnight if preferred). We are not accepting applications for job shares for this role. While we would like to extend the contract beyond 16 months, as this is a grant-funded role, we cannot currently offer this.

Work status:

We don't have a sponsor licence, so we're unable to provide sponsorship for a work visa, and candidates are required to hold the right to work for the duration of the contract.

Salary:

39,200for a 4.5 day week (pro-rata'd from 43,556 FTE). This is band C3 on our pay scale.

Location:

Some of the role will be site-specific. We are therefore open to candidates based anywhere in the UK, although some travel to project sites will be required, and there will be an occasional requirement to attend our Camden office, although you would be welcome to work there more often.

Working hours:

0.9 FTE, i.e. 4.5 days per week or a 9 day fortnight. Our core working days are Tuesday and Wednesdays, when all staff are required to work.

Managed by:

Head of Aviation, Heat and Energy.

Works closely with:

Possible's Head of Comms, Digital Comms and Engagement Manager and Fundraising Manager, as well as key external partners including community energy groups.

Ideal starting date:

December 2025/January 2026

Application process:

Application form and two interview rounds
Like all our staff, you will contribute to our anti-oppression work, attend team-wide meetings and training sessions and feed in to the production of organisational strategy. And everyone at Possible chips in in the best ways they are able, by doing things like organising digital birthday cards, taking out the bins or the virtual equivalent, so there's that too.

About Possible

Our values Daring, Joy and Community guide our actions and our organisational culture. Here at Possible, we have a vision for a zero carbon Britain that has been built by and belongs to everybody. Our mission is to inspire people in the UK to take the action the climate crisis demands.

Commitment to anti-oppression

We have made a commitment to make Possible an anti-oppressive place to work. We're doing the work to undo inequalities and oppressive systems reflected in wider society, and are an inclusive and welcoming group that wants our team mates and the communities we work with to be able to thrive.

We believe that our team and our projects should reflect the diversity of the communities they seek to serve. We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, disabled people, those who are neurodivergent, people who have experienced mental health challenges and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past.
