To create a better, greener future and to meet the government’s carbon reduction goal, new green jobs need to be created across multiple sectors. 

Green jobs are any jobs that have a direct, positive impact on the planet and that will form part of the low carbon economy of the future. This includes roles in renewable energy, manufacturing electric vehicles and other low carbon technology, but also entry-level jobs in horticulture, environmental management and home energy retrofit.

Over the past 40 years, Groundwork has helped young people and people experiencing unemployment to access green jobs and we’re ready to do even more in response to the climate and nature emergency. 

We currently have 3 exciting new green job opportunities available within our Communities Team.

The closing date for all 3 roles is Monday 28th June 2021. Interviews: w/c 5th July 2021.
