Project Manager

Fife Communities Action Network (FCCAN) is a network of community groups in Fife that are taking action on climate change. Our aim is to empower and enable communities to create a low carbon future and promote local resilience and well-being.

We have an exciting opportunity to lead our Fife Climate Hub team, funded by the Scottish Government.

The Fife Climate Hub is part of a new network of regional community climate action hubs, created by the Scottish Government. The Hub empowers community-led action on the climate crisis. Our vision is for a growing Fife-wide network of groups taking climate action to meet the needs of their communities. We build capacity of existing community groups working on climate, encourage collaboration and reach beyond the climate engaged to grow a diverse network across Fife. We also provide a voice for our members to influence local and national policy. Together we are driving change and strengthening climate resilience in Fife. 

The Hub offers training, advice, inspiration, networking, funding and signposting to places of support. We provide opportunities for networking and shared learning to create a strong climate movement across Fife and drive change across all sectors.

We’re looking for a passionate, enthusiastic leader to further develop the project. This is an exciting opportunity to shape community climate action within Scotland through a model of localised ‘grassroots’ collaborative support.

The Project Manager will ensure the Hub and its aims, objectives and outcomes are delivered on time, within scope and budget. This involves line managing a team of community engagement officers, communications and administrative staff. The Project Manager will oversee delivery of the action plan and lead on monitoring, evaluation and reporting. They will represent Fife Climate Hub and FCCAN to external partners and networks. The role also involves developing a long-term strategic plan for the Hub and applying for funding to continue the project.

The post is currently funded until 31^st March 2025, but there is the possibility of extension to March 2026 and beyond, subject to continuation funding.

The post is available as a secondment, subject to agreement from both parties.
