Creative Carbon Scotland – a charity initiated by the Edinburgh Festivals and founder members the Federation of Scottish Theatre and Scottish Contemporary Art Network – is a partnership of arts organisations working to help shape a sustainable Scotland. Our vision is of a cultural sector that is fully engaged in creating a sustainable Scotland through the work it makes and presents, through the way it operates and through its communication with the wider public.
Our mission is to:
- Engage the sector in actively promoting environmental sustainability and addressing climate change
- Help the sector take a lead in shaping an environmentally sustainable Scotland
- Help the sector run itself as environmentally sustainably as possible
Owing to demand for our work we now need an additional member of staff to join us to work on projects, communications and administration for Creative Carbon Scotland and to support the Edinburgh Festivals in the achievement of their own ambitious environmental sustainability strategy. This is a great opportunity for someone with good knowledge of both sustainability and the arts, a desire to create lasting change and the energy and commitment to effect that change in the arts and cultural sectors in Scotland. The post is full-time and for a fixed term until 31 March 2016, with possible extension subject to continued funding. Secondments from relevant organisations, flexible working and job-share applications are welcomed.

———-
Creative Carbon Scotland is a partnership of arts organisations working to put culture at the heart of a sustainable Scotland. We believe cultural and creative organisations have a significant influencing power to help shape a sustainable Scotland for the 21st century.
In 2011 we worked with partners Festivals Edinburgh, the Federation of Scottish Threatre and Scottish Contemporary Art Network to support over thirty arts organisations to operate more sustainably.
We are now building on these achievements and working with over 70 cultural organisations across Scotland in various key areas including carbon management, behavioural change and advocacy for sustainable practice in the arts.
Our work with cultural organisations is the first step towards a wider change. Cultural organisations can influence public behaviour and attitudes about climate change through:
Changing their own behaviour;
Communicating with their audiences;
Engaging the public’s emotions, values and ideas.
