- £22,000 (FTE £55,000)
- The post currently has funding for 18 months and is offered as an 18 month fixed term contract.
- However, one of the tasks of the Fundraiser role within the newly formed NZC team (see below) will be to raise funds to both extend the term of the team, and to fund the implementation of NZC interventions throughout the Diocese.

In February 2020 General Synod set the Church of England an ambitious challenge: to reach net zero carbon across our parish, cathedral, diocesan and school estates by 2030. The Route-map to Net Zero Carbon by 2030 is hugely ambitious, but the process is as important as the target. The final Route-map has been a balancing act between the urgency of action, and the very real constraints within which we work to find a way forward in a timely and realistic way. Recruitment to this post is one of the key enablers to meeting this challenge.
The Net Zero Carbon Programme Manager is an exciting new role helping to enact diocesan strategy as it relates to the Diocese of Newcastle’s commitment to becoming a greener, net zero carbon Diocese, responding to the fifth mark of mission: to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
This role will take operational leadership and governance of the Diocesan Net Zero programme implementation. The post holder will ensure the effective delivery of activities within the Net Zero action programme ensuring full participation of all stakeholders to secure successful outcomes including the direct project management of locally based decarbonisation initiatives and interventions. The role includes the building of a new team to help deliver the Diocese’s Net Zero action plan which will include four further roles: Fundraiser; Project Manager; Heating, Energy & Renewable Advisor; Project/Contract Administrator.
