The Climate Psychology Alliance (CPA) is a membership organisation whose purpose is to explore psychological responses to the climate crisis in order to strengthen relationships and resilience for a just future. CPA has over 500 members who are predominantly from the psychological professions and psychosocial and arts academics, but we welcome anyone exploring the psychology and soul of our current ecological crisis. We see the climate and ecological crisis as inextricably linked with racism and coloniality, and have a commitment to decolonising our own working practices. This central role co-ordinates the internal and external communication around our work.

Our work falls into the following six areas:

1. Support to individuals and groups suffering with eco distress and offer safe spaces to share emotions surrounding the climate crisis.

5. General admin and communications including being the first point of contact for enquiries, directing the enquiries appropriately and monitoring progress on responses; keeping the website up to date including the Therapeutic Support directory; managing the membership mailings including the monthly digest and the monthly newsletter.

Introduction

Creative Carbon Scotland (CCS) believes in the power of the arts and culture to help achieve sustainability in Scotland and the world. The arts inspire, illuminate, communicate, educate, entertain and encourage new ways of thinking and shared experience – all attributes needed to tackle climate change. That’s why we support individuals and organisations in the arts and culture sector to be sustainable themselves and to lead and influence climate action through their creative work, including by collaborating with environmental experts and organisations working directly on climate change.

We are a nimble, positive, influential and growing charity in a dynamic field. We are experiencing great demand and enthusiasm for our work in carbon emissions reduction and climate change adaptation from both the cultural and the climate change sectors.

Our founding partners are the Edinburgh Festivals, the Federation of Scottish Theatre and the Scottish Contemporary Art Network. We receive significant long-term funding from Creative Scotland, the public body that supports the arts, screen and creative industries in Scotland.

In 2021, we worked with Creative Scotland to help write its bold and ambitious Climate Emergency and Sustainability Plan, which places the creative and cultural sectors as key agents of change in Scotland’s transformation as it plans for a sustainable future. It will shape Creative Scotland’s funding, policy and work until 2045, and ours as well.

Communications assistant role

The communications assistant role is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to develop their career in a dynamic and growing organisation. The successful applicant will help us raise Creative Carbon Scotland’s profile by building capacity, taking a lead on social media, and providing much-needed support to our communications manager.

You will be working with all members of the wider CCS team to promote our Green Arts, culture/SHIFT and strategic work both online and offline. Working to promote the impact of culture and creativity in addressing the climate emergency, you will have a talent for writing, a good eye for design and be competent across a range of digital tools. You should also be able to prioritise multiple requests and deadlines.

During 2023/24, CCS will be undertaking a website redevelopment to ensure that our carbon footprint is sustainable; there will be opportunities for the communications assistant to contribute to this project.

Creative Carbon Scotland employment approach

CCS aims to be a friendly, collaborative employer where the team knows they are supported, valued and respected. We offer flexible working arrangements to balance employees’ personal circumstances with the needs of the organisation and we facilitate training and development opportunities identified with each individual. As a result, we have a great team of knowledgeable, friendly and committed people producing work of a very high standard. CCS has grown in the last few years, as our work is valued by both the cultural and climate change sectors amid the widespread demand for innovative ways to become sustainable.

NB: Due to Creative Carbon Scotland’s size and circumstances, this opportunity is only open to those who already have the right to work in the UK.
