Per week. Contract: Fixed term 12-month contract Please note: This post is being advertised in conjunction with the Zero Carbon Harrogate Climate Action Coordinator role (3 days a week), creating a combined full time 12-month fixed term post if desired) Background and role purpose The North Yorkshire Climate Coalition (the Coalition) is currently an informal grouping of local climate action groups operating in their own communities. We cooperate as a Coalition to facilitate engagement with policy and political processes, in recognition that, since 2023, local government services are now largely administered at a North Yorkshire level. As we step up to this task, we recognise that our constitution and governance requires fundamental reform. The immediate task is for the Coalition s Steering Group to come to a view about the most appropriate form of structure to adopt. A key input from this post would be to support the Steering Group in achieving corporate status. We are seeking a creative and flexible person to join our team. As a small, volunteer-led organisation we are looking for someone with a wide range of skills who can act on their own initiative. Under the overall direction and guidance of the NYCC Steering Group, the purpose of this role is to enable and support smooth day-to-day running of the Coalition with a focus on managing operational processes and procedures, coordinating internal and external communications, and supporting project work to deliver an overall strategy. This post will be funded by Shared Prosperity Funding, which has been accessed by a local charity, Zero Carbon Harrogate, as the Coalition is not yet a constituted body. Part of the role of the Climate Action Coordinator will be to support the process of becoming a formally constituted organisation and thereby enable us to seek further funding. For the period of the grant, but probably no longer, the Climate Action Coordinator will be employed by Zero Carbon Harrogate. Key tasks • Act as lead administrator for all NYCC activities, including setting up meetings, preparing agendas and minutes, assembling member newsletters, liaising with key contacts of the Coalition. • Administer any regulatory requirements, including Charity and/or Company returns.

The Trust comprises five Alternative Provision Academies and a Specialist Free School based within Yorkshire. Our story began in 2018 when our three founding Kirklees schools (Ethos College, Reach Academy and Engage Academy) came together to form Ethos Academy Trust. Since then, the Trust has doubled the number of Academies, whilst quadrupling in pupil numbers. We are a mixed community of Alternative Provisions and a Special School, operating across three Local Authorities within West and South Yorkshire. Our work extends beyond our Academies to add value to the wider system through the offer of support to other schools and associated services. We celebrate and support the uniqueness of our Academies in meeting the needs of their local communities. Our nurturing ethos, underpinned by our clear mission, vision and core values, enables our pupils, their families and our staff teams to thrive. We provide extensive support and educational opportunities for pupils with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) and wider needs. Trust staff work in partnership with schools, parents / carers and other professionals to support and promote the educational and social inclusion of pupils. Following the intended retirement of our current CEO, we are seeking an exceptional individual to take on the role of CEO and provide inspirational leadership which ensures that the Trust community continuously improves in every area. Working closely with the Trust Board, Academy Leaders, key members of the Central Team and the wider Trust community, you will: Lead and oversee the efficient, effective and compliant management of the Trust and its Academies; Support and drive the Trust Board's ambition for growth and expansion; Provide strong strategic and organisational leadership towards the Trust's vision and mission in a way that aligns with the Trust's core values; and Ensure that the Trust performs in a way which provides a high-quality education and service for all its pupils and wider stakeholders through the efficient use of resources and people. Our ideal candidate will be a dynamic, diligent, articulate, insightful, commercially astute and influential leader, with the ability to build a positive organisational culture, encourage reflection, build teams, strive for continuous improvement and inspire all staff. Dedicated to raising academic standards among young people, you will be a clear advocate and voice for young people and families in the political arena, influencing decision-makers and policy setters on behalf of pupils with SEMH and wider special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
