Why are we recruiting:

The Forum has been active in climate action for over a decade, with workstreams and activities focussed on climate change mitigation and transition towards net zero conditions.  However, it is increasingly recognised that historically there has been a critical under investment in the health implications of climate change.

The launch of the Forum’s Climate and Health Initiative in 2023 was designed to address and enhance the focus on health.  As a joint collaboration between the Forum’s centres for Health & Healthcare and Nature & Climate, the Initiative aims to understand how climate change will reshape health landscapes with increased risks from new pathogens, pollution and extreme weather events. The Forum is seeking a Community Specialist, to help build an active community of multisector and cross-industry partners, to shape models of high impact solutions on topical areas in the nexus of climate and health.  

The Community Specialist will support the Climate and Health Initiative Leads and Community Manager to effectively curate and manage Working Groups and support the Initiative Steering Committee in bringing together multistakeholder and cross industry experts to identify opportunities and gaps in activities linked to climate adaptation and mitigation affecting health.

Based in the Centre for Health and Healthcare, the Community Specialist will report to the Head of Healthcare Initiatives. He/she will join the five-person-strong Health and Climate team based across the centres for Health & Healthcare and Nature & Climate with functional reporting lines to the Initiative Leads based in each centre.

Main responsibilities: 

  • Support enhanced partnering with a range of stakeholders to strengthen and grow the Climate and Health Initiative.
  • Support project management of Working Groups including development of key deliverables and help ensure high visibility and awareness of the initiative.
  • Research, assess and identify new community members from the respective regions and categories annually.

  • Work with Initiative Leads and the Forum’s Partners Development team to grow the community.
  • Support event planning for relevant Forum meetings and regional events, as well as external workshops and partner meetings.
  • Work with the Centre’s Communication Lead and the Forum’s central media team to build the strategy and development of public engagement materials, including the website, blogs, social videos, and podcasts to highlight Working Group activities and findings. Key priorities include – but not limited to – the Annual Meeting, Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, and the COP events.
  • Responsible for supporting the impact measurement and management of the work to ensure partners derive value and the initiative is achieving the intended impact agreed with the funder.

 Preferred requirements and experience:

  • Advanced university degree in the healthcare industry, public health, climate change or other relevant fields.
  • Minimum 2+ years of professional experience related to the climate & health nexus.
  • Excellent project and event management skills and organised approach to work.
